H

The letter H accounts for 129 of the 2,618 shows here, with 138 opening title sequences from 1952 to the present.

14 of them are filed here rather than under their first word, because an index ignores a leading "The" or "A" — The Handmaid's Tale, The Haunting of Bly Manor and The Honeymooners among them.

Seven rebuilt their opening titles mid-run.
