Mrs. America demonstrates the importance of opening title sequences

The Ringer

"Mrs. America’s title sequence especially stands out in our current television and movie landscape," says Michael Baumann of the FX on Hulu limited series. "For more than half of cinematic history, the opening credits were an institution: Before watching anything, viewers had to sit through a prelude that listed the key figures in the production. At first, this was the motion picture version of a playbill, but by the mid-20th century, this list of names and orchestral entr’acte had transformed into an art form all its own. In fact, in 1976, the Emmys introduced a creative arts award for outstanding title design."
