I'll tell ya, I really liked the Irwin Allen show intros 
I wonder if it was his idea to do the animated intros for a lot of them, such as with The Time Tunnel. It was clever to have the words be backwards originally and then they reverse. Also the percussion was a bit tricky as well on the soundtrack, as I've found it hard to keep up with that, with a lot of it being on the "and" (although I assume it'd be easier to follow if I had the sheet music in front of me!), being a drummer on hiatus myself.
The Land of the Giants was also cool, with having what you think is a giant, then he gets scooped up. Lost in Space's was cute. Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea was ok but too short (hence why the announcer had to say the name of the series TWICE in hoping to improve upon it!), but it improved when it jumped to color! Swiss Family Robinson's was ok, although I liked the page-turning parts, but then there wasn't anything really different that could have been done with that one, since it wasn't exactly sci-fi.
Anyone agree?
