A title sequence, in a television program, is shown at the beginning which displays the show name and credits, usually including actors, producers and directors.
A montage of selected images and/or a theme song are often included to suggest the essential tone of the series.
One noteable example of this is Law & Order, with pictures of B&W NYC photos of crimes, murders, trials, etc. The main characters are zoomed out (photo-printing style), with the police characters appearing in blue tint, and the lawyers appearing in red. On Law & Order: SVU, their characters appear in a yellow-gold tint, and on Law & Order: Criminal Intent the characters are blue-grayish.
