Intro songs are kind of hit-or-miss for me. It feels kind of empty when a show doesn't have any sensible intro theme to it (like Gumball and Regular Show), but at the same time it gets grating if it's especially in your face about it (like anime intros in general [especially dubbed anime]).
It really just depends on the show for me to care about the intro theme or not. In terms of modern shows, Adventure Time has a pretty good intro theme to it, while Korra's themeless intro works pretty well for it (especially coming from the original Avatar series, where that didn't really set up with a catchy tune about AVATAR STYLE YIP YIP but instead put the entire show into the context of a story, which was awesome).
