Hearing this meant mum actually remembered to set the tape recording and we got to see more than the last five minutes of an episode. Stupid 3:30pm start for the best kids show.

What is this, besides amazing?

Captain Scarlet always seemed like something a better writer could really mine for an interesting story. Especially if they ever really got into the whole existential stuff about how the real Captain Scarlet is dead and this guy the show follows is just a copy.

Knightmare

Just a Virtual Reality Dungeons and Dragons Game Show for 11 year olds from 1987.

They used Weather Reporter early green screen technology to put one kid wearing a blindfold in a green screen room in front of paintings and puppets (and later pure CGI) while the other three kids watch the final picture on a TV screen and shout commands.
Which works about as well as you would expect...

The room falling apart in that video took them days to render a single frame.

If you want to try watching I would start at series three as series one and two they hadn't figured out a good formula yet and it came down to answer three riddles correctly or die, in slightly different coloured rooms.

and no, the guy on the horse from the intro never shows up.

When we were kids we came up with a stupid alternate fraggle rock theme tune:

Down at fraggle rock,
Catch a fraggle by the cock!
Swing him round your head,
Kill the bastard dead!

On the subject of good TV show intros I always liked the opening to The 4400. It's a pity that show got boring really fast.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

While Hill St. Blues (already posted) is considered the father of modern cop shows I consider The Streets of San Francisco the Grandfather which has a badass intro (with 70's wakka-choo-wakka in full effect):
