Do you skip the intro to TV shows?

I'm watching Star Trek Strange New Worlds and Foundation at the moment and I enjoy the intro to both of them.
Both have excellent music and visuals during the intro and they help get me in the mood but I've seen that many people skip them which I think is a bit of a shame.

So, what shows do you enjoy the intro for or do you mercilessly skip them?

I'll watch them once but then skip them if I can

Same. Only one I watched every time was the GOT one as it was different each time.

Also watch the credits for the last episode, as a final sendoff.

Always skip if I can, time is money baby #247hustle

No, never. Even if I watch two or more episodes in a row. It's just rude.

No. Just no.

Depends on the show and the intro.

Never ever skipped Game of Thrones, even when it turned gooseberry fool. Other shows with naff intros....sure.

This.

Same for me.

You're all monsters. Except for Rinks

So many shows have great intros nowadays, that I wouldn't skip. The White Lotus and The Last of Us spring to mind.

Watch the intros, skip the show. Ultimate chaos.

I'll normally watch the intro for the first and last episodes of the season and skip the rest unless I really like the intro. You'd have to be a monster to skip The Sopranos' opening titles.

This is actually the recommended way of watching Game of Thrones S8.

With me it depends on the show, if the opening titles are long and dull, i do sometimes skip them.

not unless it's an intro i really, really don't like

Yep, unless the show is really important to me and/or the music is great.

Examples include The Sopranos, The Wire and Succession.

It depends on the programme. I enjoyed the intros for Better Call Saul and Doctor Who... but I guess that I do jump most of 'em. Then again, I just thought that I do like the "flicking pages" opening of Marvel's stuff. It varies!

Edit: As for outros... The Mandalorian's were great, with that excellent theme tune and marvellous artwork.

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