Another vote for The Six Million Dollar Man: gripping, innovative, and brilliantly edited. You can't be a guy and not think it's cool. The (original) Bionic Woman successfully echoed that sequence while adding warmth: you instantly like Jamie Sommers just from the main titles. I'll be amazed if the 2007 Bionic Woman can pull off the same trick.
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century's main titles are far more memorable than the show itself, as a recent South Park two-parter showcased.
The first season of Space: 1999 was a neat mix of shock and awe, cutting from a 70s guitar riff to an orchestra and back, and its rapid-fire preview of each episode, just a few frames of several scenes in succession, inspired similar teases in the credits of Ron Moore's Battlestar Galactica.
