The Fall TV Schedule: Opening Credits

Pushing Daisies promo image

There is a lot of great design in opening sequences on TV these days. My favs: The Big Bang Theory – it’s fun, fast paced, and features a theme song by the Barenaked Ladies; Chuck – the campy, nerd-inspired take on James Bond type graphics is fun and illustrative; Without A Trace – the complexity and the collage style of the graphics does a good job in distilling the show down into a 30 second message; Pushing Daisies – Bryan Fuller is brilliant and everything he does is visually spectacular [If your not watching this show, START NOW!]; Numb3rs – it does a great job of tying together the concept of the show with the necessity of stating who the actors are; and True Blood – I LOVE the theme song, and the rapid fire, disturbing images keep me glued to the screen, I can’t turn away even though I want to. Below is a collection of some of the Falls opening credits. Let me know your favs in the comments section below.
