If they would've left it as just an instrumental, it would have been ok -- I like the part that plays over the end credits --, but those lyrics can only be described by a word that hasn't been coined yet, one that registers about 10 shades beyond lame. Yes, yes, the lyrics relate to the show, but really, I think one would have to try for a very long time to come up with lyrics more generic than those.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24685372.post-9075008722612753782007-09-01T19:10:00.000-05:002007-09-01T19:10:00.000-05:00Anthony beat me to the punch, but here ya go anyway:<BR/><BR/>Dr. Who intro:<BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ic1WURj2C8<BR/><BR/>Tom Baker is the Roger Moore of Dr. Whos...There are better one's, but that's the one I grew up watching.<BR/><BR/>Great collection though, what a throwback.clinthttp://www.glasstit.com/serendipitynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24685372.post-28870689138378663602007-08-23T11:25:00.000-05:002007-08-23T11:25:00.000-05:00Hmmm...<BR/><BR/>In hindsight, the Roswell intro is probably not one of the best of all time.

I'd say it belongs in the top five instead of the bottom five.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24685372.post-80599540680429311142007-08-21T15:39:00.000-05:002007-08-21T15:39:00.000-05:00That was worth it for Erin Gray's hair flip in the Buck Rogers intro.Adamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02661757462494029455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24685372.post-69197101642574390872007-08-21T12:22:00.000-05:002007-08-21T12:22:00.000-05:00Agreed on all counts.<BR/><BR/>I actually saw the Land of the Lost intro on YouTube recently and I actually cringed.

Awesome collection of credits. But its soo unfair to lump Firefly in with Wonderwoman and BuckRogers.<BR/><BR/>The firefly song took a while to get its way into my head but once it was there I started to think it was an AWESOME intro. Honest.<BR/><BR/>Also what about some new credits for 'best of'. How about Enterprise or BSG (the new one) they both have awesome opening credits.utungahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08192958090197336773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24685372.post-6751647536060404502007-08-19T14:52:00.000-05:002007-08-19T14:52:00.000-05:00I grew up on the original StarTrek myself. Loves the show, hated the credits. It sounded like a malfunctioning radio w/ it's constant blipping.<BR/><BR/>Serenity/Firefly is a old western sci-fi. It mixes the nostalgia of an old western w/ spaceships and aliens. A country music song is very appropiate. I loved both the intro and the show. I guess there are'nt a lot of country fans that watch sci-fi, which is why the show failed. I'm sad to see it go.Burnernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24685372.post-52098957385650677162007-08-19T10:21:00.000-05:002007-08-19T10:21:00.000-05:00Are you kidding me ?<BR/>Firefly song is the best ever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24685372.post-9397040371583367152007-08-19T08:58:00.000-05:002007-08-19T08:58:00.000-05:00Land of the Lost, one of the worst?

I found the Firefly intro rather good, not great, but good - catchy music and shots did a good job of evoking the 'sci-fi western' nature of the program. And where is the 6 Million Dollar Man? "we can rebuild him, we have the technology!" ranks at least as high as most anything there. Roswell's intro, while it has relatively pretty music, is just a plain montage of shots from the show and makes it look like a sappy drama, not good sci-fi.<BR/><BR/>Now that I'm done criticizing... good job bringing those classics to the forefront. I'm very happy with the inclusion of the Jetsons - I can think of few shows more iconic of the retrofuture.Xerushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03101254321033578857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24685372.post-18103245314866191802007-08-19T02:23:00.000-05:002007-08-19T02:23:00.000-05:00The Firefly song is so awesome and so fitting for that show.Willhttp://www.longklaw.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24685372.post-79692870501429914422007-08-19T01:28:00.000-05:002007-08-19T01:28:00.000-05:00you're on crack, the Firefly theme song is actually a true original. not all the bland, stamped out cramp that hollywood passes as "good" these days.<BR/><BR/>the theme song was written by Joss himself...it has feeling, emotion, and soul in it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24685372.post-29723720469757070972007-08-19T00:16:00.000-05:002007-08-19T00:16:00.000-05:00hey.
