it's definitely up there, last time I enjoyed an intro so much, was the early Dexter and Californication

[@morganmarston]

This is one of the all-time best intros for a show/series. It's a time machine into the 1980s

[@Crazyhorse75-u2z]

This opening captures everything about the early 80s. I was a little kid back then and I find it nostalgic. Great show by the way. I never miss it.

[@j.wesulmandkantskonundrum3273]

This montage on top of such a rhythmically badass song is pure artistic genius. Notice how the both the image panels and the movement within the panels -- the people marching, the typists typing, aerobics class scenes and the players practicing on the court -- are choreographed in almost perfect synchrony with the beat in The Coup's "My Favorite Mutiny." You don't just see and hear the sequence -- you feel it. Bravo to the Winning Time creative staff.

[@svensmart1]

agree in every aspect, this, for me, is by far the greatest intro ever. I can watch taht again and it nevers gets boring. U will discover some news things in all that stuff everytime u watch it.

[@daveuyan24]

So sad that this show was cancelled after two seasons

[@mptemplin]

Rule #1 when watching Winning Time. Watch the opening credits for this banger

Someone plz pick this show up. I love it so much :(

The visuals on Winning Time's opening credits are on another level! They capture the 80s era lifestyle perfectly. This is the most elaborate and well done TV intro theme since The Wire (another HBO classic).

I 💯 agree with everything you said

[@andreadetata4801]

I can’t believe they canceled this show. What a huge mistake. Best show on the planet!!

[@floydefisher]

I don't think it was canceled so much as there was nothing more to cover. Putting on a third season would be akin to beating a dead horse IMHO.

[@jman22009]

@@floydefisherwhat do you mean?! They ended with bird beating the lakers in the finals! Season 3 would be the return of the Jedi, the comeback, Kareem’s retirement, they could even go till the early 90s and talk more about Magic’s AIDSZ there’s soooo much they could cover

[@floydefisher]

I was really disappointed when this brilliant series came to an end. The Lakers/Celtics rivalry was absolutely spectacular in the 1980’s and the character development in Winning Times was fantastic. This could have been one of the greats.
