    Unquestionably # 1: BATMAN

    Aside from omitting The Honeymooners, The Dick Van Dyke Show, and Get Smart (and including lackluster intros like Dallas and Miami Vice), to not include the most riveting 30 seconds in the annals of television history, is unforgiveable!

    Not only the "Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba" vocal group hook, but the colorful introduction of first Batman, then Robin, then the crooks, then the Gotham City skyline! NOTHING is even in the same league as THAT TV show intro! NOTHING!!
