X
The letter X accounts for 6 of the 2,618 shows here, with 10 opening title sequences from 1992 to the present.
Two of them are filed here rather than under their first word, because an index ignores a leading "The" or "A" — The X-Files and The X Factor.
One rebuilt its opening titles mid-run: The X-Files, with five sequences.

The X Factor
Simon Cowell's format after Pop Idol, opening on a spotlight sweep and a fanfare rebuilt every few series.

5 sequences
The X-Files
One sequence held untouched for seven years, then rebuilt twice as the cast turned over. The card at the end is the real trick: it reads 'The Truth Is Out There' most weeks, and something else entirely more than twenty times.

A guitar riff, a name card per character, and nothing else — the most efficient superhero roll-call ever animated, and the reason the 2024 revival copied it exactly.

Xena: Warrior Princess
A narrated mythological premise and a war cry, from the spinoff that comprehensively outgrew Hercules.

Four apprentice monks collecting artefacts, in a series that borrows its fight grammar from wuxia rather than from superheroes.
