In 1982, a show about friends who work at a bar made its debut, and it opened with one of the greatest songs in television history.

, but we do know a couple of things: If we don’t want to see it peter out into the purgatory of all those skipped intros, we need to bring back the Gary Portnoys of the world, and we need to cherish the power of a good opening song coupled perfectly with a star-studded visual counterpart before it’s no longer an option.

The problem began in 2017, when Netflix added the “skip intro” option on most of its canon of shows and movies. We were no longer required to listen to the opening of— a beautifully composed orchestral piece by John Lunn — or the iconic “falling man” title sequence inWe know, we know. On our fourth consecutive episode of, we shouldn’t have to sit through another minute-and-46-second intro before we get to the action and violence . We get it.

But that’s the problem, and it brings us back to our main point: binge-watching has ruined our ability to fully appreciate TV intros, and because of our desire to watch several episodes in one sitting, we don’t need recaps or character-revealing montages unfolding to an upbeat earworm And streaming services just encourage us to skip it, anyway.

The only logical conclusion to this pattern is that we will lose those powerful introductory songs that set the tone and feel of a show . Those musically sticky songs that still resonate with fans generations later are part of an era that might be well on its way to an end. In our opinion, most of the great TV intro songs were in the ’80s and ’90s, and usually clocked in between one and two minutes long — and the intros themselves did more than list the title credits.and so many more all summed up the premise of their respective shows and introduced main characters.
