I was just thinking to myself earlier, I had to look up this one, because I remember as a kid the opening to Carmen Sandiego was just like crazy in your face vocal's about where this chick Carmen Sandiego is and I could totally picture myself making a youtube video playing keyboard and saying the one sentence I remember over and over very dramatically, but I found the video and it's not what I remembered, but it was pretty close.
There was also the time my family took me to see Jurassic Park. I was like six. At the beginning, before the movie there were these people all kneeled crouching on top of sand and they looked like archeologist because they were dusting the ground and the camera zooms out from above and you see the Jurassic Park logo underneath coming into view. I thought that was pretty bad ass.
Any show/movie openers you remember that gets you pumped to watch a show or that is just plain intriguing?

This is probably the earliest recorded show that I watched every single day when it was re-aired on toonami. It had an insane amount of episodes, every time I turned it on it went even further and further then I'd imagine. All the lore mixed with sci-fi this show was crazy. Watching this show made me want to be a muscle man and fuck a cheetah girl at the same damn time.
I was eventually going to take this thread here, because I watch all sorts of anime. This is probably the best snapshot of early 90's brawler anime and pop mixed together. It's just a damn good style and I'm happy it exist.
This was something I watched recently and was getting at. This series ran on Adult swim late night as more of a comedy/action bloc and the follow up series 10 or twenty years later is on Funimation.com, I really didn't know what to expect besides some really sophisticated pen and ink with some snappy wit thrown in for laughs, but it took on an older tone for the older audience and I wasn't let down.
These aren't my favorite shows even, but they just have some sweet ways of starting that you can't skip up!

Yer probably thinking of the Rockapella song for Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego.
I saw those guys in concert once when I was younger  They're pretty talented, but pretty cheesy.

Thats pretty funny I know that version, but I don't remember it. I was thinking more along the lines of "Where is Carmen Sandiego Carmen Sandiego Carmen." repeating over, and over and over to bad 90's music.
I know a lot of beatboxers I go to the championships every summer in manhatten, I see all the top guys and some of them even perform, my friend knows the first reigning champ, the guy that got JIPPED the year after too, who's definitely going to get it this year, he has to, unless someone from europe returns to fuck with us. I did a history report on it for my friends site, I know alot about beat boxing, that guy in the vid was alright. The real shit though is during the breaks you see some legends and some crazy mofo's come out and act strange.

I was into animorphs as a kid, I had a bunch of the books, never knew there was even a tv series..
I've been watching the show grimm, it is basically a more adult version of animorphs, the concept at least. First season has TERRIBLE CGI, but the 2nd season got quite a bit better.

I only read one of the books it was pretty good if I remember right...
Just found the first episode on youtube and now I'm off to find the whole series. A lot cheesier than I remember but I was still entertained

I'll have to check out grimm then cause I really like the concept. Glad its not real though if this shit actually happened I would be a paranoid wreck thinking everyone could possibly be a host for an alien? fuck that

Oh my gawd LOL I can't watch anymore of that shit, the kids walking on the sidewalk and he's freaking the fuck out, he says this shady ass kind of "hi" to a random lady walking her baby carriage, then they're at a preserve lobby and ominous music is playing while the kid is looking at a hawk. What are they, high?
