Most iconic or beloved television show opening credits

Both iconic and memorable for me would be the opening of the Mission Impossible series, where we see a hand with a lit match igniting a fuse and then that catchy, rhythmic theme music kicks in.

Mission: Impossible. Greatest theme song for a tv series ever!

I also like McGuyver, The A-Team and Renegade openings.

Hawaii 5-0. Nothing comes close to the art of this intro. In an age when computer software didn't exist to synchronize and edit video, this all had to be done by hand.

Enjoy:

On the shorter side.....LOST! Thud!
