Automobile Opening: Difference between revisions

* ''[[The Sopranos]]'' features Tony driving from New York to his home in New Jersey. His route is deliberately inefficient to provide more interesting visuals.

* ''[[Joey]]'' had the title character driving around Los Angeles.

** Almost all the ''[[Star Trek]]'' series, except for ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|Deep Space Nine]]'' and ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise|Enterprise]]'', had the ships flying around. The original series had the Enterprise orbiting planets and flying through space, as did ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Next Generation]]''.

* ''[[Taxi]]'' had, of course, a taxi driving around New York.

* ''[[Maude]]''

* Showa era ''[[Kamen Rider]]'' series, with the exception of ''[[Kamen Rider Amazon]]'', do this with a motorcycle rather than a car. ''[[Kamen Rider V 3]]'' does it with a motorcycle and a [[BBC Quarry]] [[Made of Explodium|that explodes randomly and pointlessly]].

** Especially ''[[Kamen Rider Black]]'' and ''[[Kamen Rider Black RX]],'' whose opening consists of ''literally nothing but'' the hero riding his motorcycle(s) down a road.

** Both openings of [[Kamen Rider Agito]], especially the second one, was around 80% motorcycle riding and 20% everything else.

** Since California has front plates but not stickers, they could've avoided that by using a rear-engine car with the trunk in front, most likely a Porsche 911 since it was the only one that wouldn't qualify as an [[Alleged Car]].

* Another [[Steven Bochco]] series, ''[[Hill Street Blues]]'' had an opening montage showing police cars rolling out of the station-house.

* Another [[Police Procedural]], this one by Jack Webb, was ''[[Adam-12]]'', which opened with a dispatcher calling the unit to investigate an armed mob, and showing it rolling off, lights and siren full blast.

* ''[[That '70s Show]]'' features various cast members rotating into the car singing along with Cheap Trick's In the Street.

* A big chunk of ''[[The Prisoner]]'''s [[Expository Theme Tune|expository opening sequence]] has Patrick McGoohan driving around in [[Cool Car|the actor's own Lotus 7]].
