I just noticed

That Xavier has no opening theme song!  Is there any other show on [AS] like that?  As far as I can remember, every other show has some sort of opening theme.

 

I just thought that was pretty interesting.  Who knows, it might become a contest!

That'd be a fun distraction, for sure!

 

I can see it really cutting into the show's time, though... They seem to have trouble cramming as much as they do into each episode already!

Check my wantlist! I am not looking to make trades from my collection, but I am happy to swap tapes of anything in my collection for (almost) anything in my wantlist. Get in touch!

He has a theme, it just isn't an opening theme.  And Xavier often doesn't have an opening - the title often is introduced later in the show in some wierd way.

 

I really hope we get the whole theme somewhere in the DVD.  Including the version with lyrics.

Xavier's opening(lol) is the title card appearing with the creepy music behind it.

Yes, but the title card isn't always the opening - sometimes it doesn't show up until half way through the show.  At least one it appears multiple times as part of the plot.  Sometimes it is never seen.  It isn't a standard title - it is far more.  It is a rethought, deconstructed title.  I like it better that way - just about nothing in the show is traditional, so why should it have a traditional opening?

I like how the logo is unpredictable.  And, even when the logo isn't present, many episodes begin with Xavier's flute theme playing as he arrives in Anytown USA, bringing awesome unintended calamity.

 

And it's true that Frisky Dingo never had an opening theme (though nearly every episode had a Frisky Dingo title screen appear at the beginning for a few moments...I'm pretty sure there are episodes of Xavier where the logo doesn't appear at all).  For quite a while Frisky Dingo and it's 2 episode spin-off The Xtacles were my favorite shows on Adult Swim.

 

Master Cylinder!

Indeed.  Hopefully their new company and upcoming show on the FX network will do well.
