You know that we like us some title sequences here at Tuned In. But you have an advantage over me in this department–because I’ve been reviewing new shows off DVD screeners, which rarely have final titles, there are plenty of new shows whose title sequences I’ve never seen.
Those few I have–Reaper and Pushing Daisies, for instance–prove that the trend of filing down opening titles to an essential few seconds has not gone away. (Pushing Daisies, in which the eponymous flowers burst into bloom to spell out the title, is sort of like the cheerful answer to the Lost title.) Even HBO’s new show, Telll Me You Love Me, has essentially an anti-title sequence: no theme music, stark block letters, and it appears at the end of the show.
Have any new titles caught your eye? Is this a dying art?
