Fannish Five - April 18

[skinscript]

What are the five best tv opening credits sequences?

Hmmm.

1. Battlestar Galactica (new series) obviously - I mean, how awesome are they?
2. Babylon 5, season 5
3. Tour of Duty
4. House
5. Spooks Season 1.

Ever notice how that shot of Crichton in his astronaut helmet looks like Lee Majors as Steve Austin in the opening credits of "The Six Million Dollar Man"? =)

Speaking of which... "The Six Million Dollar Man" opening credits are classic. (Gentlemen, we have the technology. We can rebuild him!)

A classic indeed, although somehow I remember best the Bionic woman opening, with the sounds and the parachute accident.

And no, I hadn't noticed... until now >_<

Anyway, classic openings...
Ten years ago / In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The A-Team.

Ironically enough, that A-Team monologue shows up in an episode of the re-imagined Bionic Woman series too. =)

I so have to see that... I think they're going to air the new series in Spain shortly, but I'll probably download them in english.

For what I've heard, they shot the new series down pretty fast, even though it looked quite well. Frankly, after watching the new Knight Rider series I'm a little afraid of what they might have done.

Re-imagined BW was better than the new KR backdoor pilot. It wasn't all that hard to be better either -- I mean, what can you say when in KR, the main characters don't get out of the frakking car for over an hour? And they didn't do anything except talk in the car for all that time. Jamie got to fight someone at least...
