There used to be a lot more TV opens and closes on YouTube -- multiple versions, credits from every season -- and now there aren't. They must've purged a lot of stuff.This, but your link has been removed, due to some anal bastards.
The House intro, the one they aired everywhere but stateside. It was a composition similar to Teardrop: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIDd43lGHpc
And Chuck, because Cake songs are pretty awesome.

I always liked Frasier.
It was so simple and instantly recognisable, but both the image and the audio change in different episodes. It took my ages to notice that there were a number of opening themes.

I love the Cold Case music. E. S. Posthumous is amazing.
...and the Smallville intro just plain rocks.
While I'm on the subject...
ABC Monday Night Football
AKA, "Are you ready for some football?" (I love this one because it's got everyone from Harrison Ford to the Muppets in it. And this one is longer than the truncated version they use nowadays.)
NBC Sunday Night Football
What I really love about this one is that the senior production staff all gets their names in the opening credits in some uber-creative ways. I work for a little cable TV outfit, and I've had my name on quite a few local shows, but in my field, seeing your name on a super-cool, nationally broadcast open like this is like dying and going to heaven.
Two things fascinate me about all of these opens. The first is that every single one of them is game-specific. That costs a lot of bucks, but obviously it's worth it, as it raises the fun factor by 1000%. It's impossible not to get revved up for a game following one of these.
The second is the disparity of styles. "The NFL on CBS" is a straight-up, no-nonsense, hard-hitting sports anthem. "ABC (and ESPN) Monday Night Football" and "NBC Sunday Night Football", on the other hand, both invite you to party your ass off. One is hard-rockin', the other does it country-western.
And they're all equally cool.

I was super young when this show was on, but to this day I love, love that song!! It's on my featured playlist on my iPod.
Made an account just to give my input and spread word of the show but I think United States of Tara is by far one of the greatest intros I have ever seen.
