First with the ‘Are you alive?’ scene, and also the following scene with Kara jogging through the busy ship passing most of the other major characters, all perfectly followed by the music in the background with it’s blend of drums and synth and orchestra (which had me hunting down and ordering the CD immediately after the credits rolled).

I knew Better Call Saul would be on the list.... but what I found to be the instant hook was actually the courtroom scene.... the one where he is defending the teenagers.... who had sex with a decapitated head from a morgue. The silence in the scene of everyone waiting, Saul in the bathroom rehearsing, the unanswered question about what exactly did the teenager do until it is finally revealed through the district attorney playing the appalling tape without uttering a single word. It was a pretty good opener.

@@erickr.5142 Nah, Lost was kind of a dissapointment. It was easily my favourite show back than until like the last 2-3 episodes. Instead of wraping it up nicely and connecting all the dots they decided the show needs even more confusion and obfuscation. The build up through years was epic I have to give that (and this differentiate it from other shows because now I just bingewatch but back then I had a good series on my mind for years, which made it familiar, expected, and watching it was a habit, almost like a ceremony) and I was overall happy how the story was driven forward. Actually I liked the seasons progressively more over the years and I was quite happy about the last one too except the end of it. (unlike GoT which got clearly worse in the last 2 season) I remember the last 2-3 episode left only a questions, and a big unsatisfying hole. It wasn't completelly terrible, but it was cheap and certeanly felt like it was forced. At the very end the story was steered to a weird "magical" direction which, lost it's curiosity, when it became obvious that the show won't bother with a rationally digestible explanation I grow to expect over the years. It all might be personal opinion though, I always thought they kind of botched the end :C

Probably the best opening TV scene I’ve seen was for “Monk.” I was so impressed by how much it revealed about the show in the first few minutes. The first line suggested an OCD, that Monk is worried he left the stove on, but then he makes all these impressive observations at a murder scene, even identifying the brand of cigarettes the killer used by smelling the curtains. It isn’t until after he leaves that we learn his name and that the police refer to him as “a living legend . . . if you could call that living.”

You had me until you put Lost at #2 Lost is #1 opening scene. Here's why Lost was the most epic and startling open ever. A man in a tuxedo wakes up in a bamboo forest after lab licks his face. Wtf ia goin on here? He stumbles onto the beatiful gorgeous Hawaiian beach (obvs I know the island isnt Hawaii but the show was filmed there) and we stumble from beauty into utter chaos. The trauma. The turbine explosion. All the individual issues all happening at the same time all under threat of the still dangerous plane at the same time. What happened to the plane? Where are they? Whose this dude we keep staying on? Jack. And they did this without a freaking script. They pitched this show and got the green light based on the idea. Plane crash. Lost on island. There's a hatch. Seriously. That was it. All they had written were various scenes but nothing really completed just mainly story outline. All that was completed you pretty much saw in the audition tapes. Now it's shooting day. Still no script. And yet EPIC Now the rest of this part is more for the rest of the episode but bare with me. Jack was supposed to die the first episode. The dead man in the trees was supposed to be Jacks dead body. This is the rare show where a producer stepped in and made the decision that ultimately actually saved the show by saying you can't have the only doctor die in the first few minutes. So they made him the main character instead of Kate who was originally supposed to be the leader. Also Matthew Fox who played Jack originally auditioned for Sawyer and Josh Holloway who played Sawyer originally auditioned for Jack. All these things are part of the epicness of this show AND it's opening. LOST is #1 opener.

VERY surprised to not see Battlestar Galactica 2003. The show actually got the green light to become a full blown season based on the strength of the 4 episode mini series. The key component of that series was the first episode and especially the opening which hooks you in instantly with Tricia Helfer and her single line of dialogue. Glad you mentioned LOST; just too bad it was all steadily downhill from there.

totally it was a great was to establish one DC's greatest B list heroes to unfamiliar audiences, the second biggest catalyst for making comic based television mainstream, and biggest of all prompted the creation of one of the best television universes of all time, one that expanded beyond what anyone thought possible.

Amusingly I had started the pilot of BB 2-3 times but didn't quite feel like it and quit after like 15 mins every time. Finally when I was hooked, li'l did I know what I was missing and am glad I've watched the best TV show ever made. Brilliant!

Wow, you went all the way back (what?) 6-7 years! I'm in awe of your deep knowledge of TV history. Few people realize television was only invented in the late 90's. I wish KZbin had some sort of blocking mechanism. Their algorithm keeps your facile tripe on me.

Watch the scene in Breaking Bad where Walt and Jesse take Saul into the desert to scare him into breaking the deal he was making for Badger, so that Badger won't have to rat, and you hear Saul say "It wasn't me, it wasn't me, Ignacio did it, it was Ignacio", meaning of course Nacho has obviously done something to the cartel and Saul at the very least was involved with it, and then he says "Lalo didn't send you? Don Lalo? Oh thank god". Amazing writing how they took this piece of throw-away dialogue and put it into Better Call Saul, using those names that were briefly mentioned and turning them into such incredible characters that make up some of the entire heart of the prequel This is the backbone of what makes Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad, and El Camino such fantastic entertainment.

"Night Court" "Muscle" "Nowhere Man" "Get Smart" "The Incredible Hulk" O.k., I didn't actually see the first episode of "Get Smart" when it first aired, but it was an irresistible opening. Also, I didn't discover "You Can't Do That On Television" 'til I had cable, but I was a huge fan immediately.
