      The opening of "Rocky King, Detective", while simple, was pretty cool: Rocky walking down a highly-realistic & atmospheric hallway, lights a cigarette, and then talks off-camera.

        "Panic," was a 30 minute show that depicted people dealing with emergency situations. During the opening, a narrator would introduce the viewer to the characters, who were doing something very mundane driving down a road, eating a meal, etc.. Then he would say (something like):
        "In 60 seconds, Mr. and Mrs. Smith will face
        PANIC!
        "
        With the word "panic," a graphic of splintered glass would appear on the screen.
        That opening had a lasting effect on me. But, for years, I couldn't find anyone who remembered the series. I began to think that I imagined it until I saw it listed/confirmed on IMDb.

          Panic..I had forgotten about that one but remember the title since you brought it up.

            To associate yourself with a pedophile is,at best, doltish. His talent should have been "show cased" in prison.

              What will you do when the IMDB forums are closed? You will have to find another place to anonymously insult people.

                  I have to say that Rawhide, with the dynamic singing voice of unforgettable Frankie Laine, hit it out of the park every week for me.

                      There is not a cooler opening in television history than Chuck Conners, walking down the middle of the street, shooting his rifle as Lucas McCain in the Rifleman.

                        I have to say I can remember a group of us kids watching the Rifleman in a friend's basement and we thought the opening was pretty cool.

                            I always thought "the Fugitive" did a great job of using the shows opening to provide new, or infrequent, viewers enough backstory so that they could watch single episodes and not feel lost.
