Ok so I started this conversation on FB, but I think it would be fun to do it here on AB... So I think the intro to Renegade has to pretty much be one of the cheesiest intros in the history of TV. So the question is can anyone out cheese it?

(hopes the yanks can see the video, if not just look up renegade opening on You Tube and it'll pop up straight away).

Re: Cheesiest intro ever...?
The first one that came to mind was
:
La Femme Nikita TV (1997-2001)

But, then I thought to myself, I can do "better"
:
Queen of Swords (2000)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mW5ZSenrO5I
Oh, and so I'm not accused of just picking on the ladies:
Beastmaster (1999-2002)

Maybe not the cheesiest *ever* but I always laugh at the MacGyver opening...
Oh the 80s...

Also, the old Batman TV series intro.

(at least Adam West has a good sense of humor about his past acting jobs)

Wow GuyvarIII I hadn't even heard of any of these shows and they all do look monstrously cheesy. I felt almost dirty watching them, like I'd hit a new low of naffness just watching them. The highlight for me was the Beastmaster guy randomly holding a Lion cub, because yeah if you didn't get it from the title of the series he's the Beastmaster!
Rei, the Mcguyver intro is mightily cheesy and is of course well worthy of being posted. I used to try and play at being McGuyver when I was a kid, but could never get why I couldn't make a bomb out of absolutely anything soft and squidgy with a couple of wires. Sigh, childhood innocence spent trying to manufacture explosives all because of McGuyver.
Well I have another contender that my friend posted on FB, I think you'll all agree it's rather special. Most comical for me if I had to choose one segment would be the naffness of all the action shots, they're obviously trying to make him look dynamic or something. But it just comes across well immenesly badly, the best cheese is lame cheese!

Again given past experiance with Americans trying to watch the you tube links I post, just type in 'Cover Up original series credits' if the above doesn't work.

Re: Cheesiest intro ever...?
Some of the most cheesy, cringeworthy intros i've personally seen would be the Chuck Norris Karate Kommandos and Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze (movie) intros.
While not as cheesy, i can't resist including the Glam Metal detectives intro (0:08-1:00) as well, being one of the weirder ones i've yet seen.
