Since the advent (and in turn, massive success) of "TV on DVD", television programming has really upped the ante in production value. Now-a-days it seems every show is presented in glorious high definition with big name actors and well-structured story telling. But there is another significant improvement in television over the last few years that could use some recognition: the title sequence.

Long gone are the days of cheesy video montages involving "memorable" moments from seasons past, coupled with tacky music you can't get out of your head... yes I'm looking at you, Golden Girls.

Today, the credit sequences on television are so visually pleasing that even though we possess the technology to skip past them, we don't. They're that captivating. It is in recognition of these amazing television title sequences that we've compiled our favorite 20 Brilliant TV Show Title Sequences.
