Do you skip the intro to TV shows?

You're the sort of people that clap in the cinema. :dread:

Depends on the show - a show with a killer theme tune that doesn't outstay its welcome is always going to get a watch

It's important to be polite when watching TV, that's why I always pause the credits and thank everyone named personally.

Oh no, I go the other way there. I don't want to know what wankhand was responsible for Mr Cranston's pedicures.

I didn't even clap the NHS.

Always skip after seeing it once.

Especially with anime (aside from Cowboy Bebop as the opening theme a banger) as there's nearly always spoilers.

I know that's bollocks as I've seen your house.

Depends what it is. Ones I didn't skip:
Mad Men
American Horror Story - intro was better than the actual show sometimes!
Quantum Leap
Cheers
Life on Mars

Watching Justified at the moment and tend to skip that one.

It depends how good the intro is? Game of Thrones was never skipped, nor are some episodes Pokemon (series dependant) but some are just meh and if you're binge watching a few episodes you can save a few minutes by skipping them.

I don't understand why you'd sit and watch an intro if it's boring and you have the option to skip, what am I missing?

If I enjoy the intro then no. Otherwise yes. Pretty simple.

I do this.

I think From, a show I've finished Season 1 has like a 2 minute intro. strawberry float that.

I would be genuinely ~~engorged~~ enraged if I lived within sight of that.

Red Dwarf
The Sopranos
Miami Vice
Round The Twist
all intros i can watch easily even The Simpsons, Family Guy's

If it has a good theme then never.

Ted Lasso, Shrinking, The Expanse, Red Dwarf, Cheers: not getting skipped.

The full length intro is ridiculously long tho, especially when the couch gag is something ludicrous like the circus intro.

Back in the day there was simply no pleasure like it fading straight from the title into Homer pulling into the driveway. No fussin'

One of the few I skip out of embarrassment

Huyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh

Depends on the show and how long the intro is.

Depends on how long and how good the intro is.

Some are very short, so I don't mind or have much choice but to sit through them; Bob's Burgers, Rebels, etc.

Some are good, but too long, and I always get bored or impatient; Black Sails, Daredevil, etc. Those are skips.

And then there's the longer ones that are so good I need to see them as part of the experience; BSG, Only Murders, Good Omens, and the like.
