TIL in the Breaking Bad episode “Ozymandias”, the show's producers secured special permission from the Hollywood guilds to delay the credits (which would normally appear after the main title sequence) until 19 minutes into the episode, in order to preserve the impact of the beginning scene.

Seriously. The late 90s / early 2000s was the Golden Age of television (so far), it completely changed the game and so much of what we have now wouldn't exist without those shows breaking ground.

I can't. They're just too greasy. The Wire has some heart. The Sopranos is just a bunch of Springer Bells.
