* ''Franchise/StarTrek'': The opening credits sequence of original series consists of a mission statement recited by the main character over shots of the main vessel traveling in space, accompanied by an orchestral theme. All of this was carried over into ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'', but the formula is gradually shed over the course of the subsequent series:
** ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' is the first ''Star Trek'' show to do away with the opening narration but keeps an orchestral theme and footage of the vessel in space. ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' follows suit with this same format.
** ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'' uses a pop song with lyrics rather than an orchestral theme, and the visuals are a montage of the evolution of space travel rather than footage of the main vessel in space. While ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'' keeps the more wide-ranging montage for visuals, the music goes back to an orchestral theme, though it's much more subdued than the rollicking anthems of yore.
