While some of these may not have been my most favorite television series, I really enjoyed how each one led into an episode. I've grouped them according to the decade in which they premiered.

I liked them because they would have you confused unless you actually watched the show.

Barney Miller actually made my top 15 cut for the 70's, but didn't make it to the top 10 or top 5. Shoot. I must be a Hall of Fame voter. :
