Muppet Show
Hill Street Blues
First time around there was no option to skip them. Perhaps that's a contributing factor to why they're so good and re-watchable.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987 series)
For me its Amazons Wheel of Time series. Seeing the threads get woven into the images of the world and then all coming together to be spun by the great wheel gets me emotional. They could bomb the remaining seasons and I would still be grateful for the opening.
All of them. I don't skip intros and I've never understood why anyone does.

I cannot believe there's so many. And I'm sure I've missed a few. Damn
Supernatural and Peacemaker
Franklin. Whenever I watch that guilty pleasure cartoon, I will absolutely refuse to skip the intro no matter how many episodes I'm watching.
I didn't see anyone else mention this: Mob Psycho 100. Every one of those intros are bangers.
The Wire. The opening themes are pretty great (with the exception of Season 5) and for some intangible reason the intro always feels like a core part of setting me up emotionally for the episode. Especially with Season 4. The ominous and dark rendition from the Baltimore school kids feels like an essential mood setting piece for a very sobering season.

I don't skip any of them. They're so short nowadays, anyway. If I'm impatient enough to skip the opening, then I'm probably not that into it and shouldn't be watching the show anyway.
Anyway, Law & Order, lol
All of them. Why would I skip an intro? Intros are cool, and, rarely, they might change, possibly for in-show reasons. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is famous for doing this, and even some American shows have taken after it in that regard.
Grimm. In the first few seasons they had very very short intros with little hints of what the story would be in it.
