I agree with Alex: Carnivale is the best right now.

On the flip side, I like the very simple idea of the title sequences giving some background. Some in the past:

All in the Family basically showing us where Archie and Edith lived and who they were, all the while they sing the theme.

Mary Tyler Moore with the concluding freeze frame of the hat toss.

Bob Newhart and his commute—many in Chicago tried to figure out the exact locations.

The Sopranos is a direct descendent of this—plus it has just an incredible theme.
