===Dramas=== Cold opens are common in science fiction dramas and crime dramas. In the U.S., TV shows will occasionally forgo a standard cold open at the midway point of a two-part episode, or during a "special" episode. [[Vince Gilligan]] has been declared "Undisputed Master of the Cold Open" in multiple reviews,<ref>{{cite web | url = http://hiddenremote.com/2017/04/25/vince-gilligan-undisputed-master-cold-open/ | title = Vince Gilligan is the Undisputed Master of the Cold Open | first = Erin | last = Qualey | date = April 2017 | publisher = hiddenremote}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.cinemablend.com/television/Art-Tease-Best-Breaking-Bad-Cold-Opens-58148.html | title = The Art Of The Tease: The Best Breaking Bad Cold Opens | first = Jesse | last = Carp | date = 2014 | publisher = cinamablend}}</ref> detailing particular episodes of ''[[Better Call Saul]]'' and ''[[Breaking Bad]]''. The Australian drama series, ''[[McLeod's Daughters]]'' used a cold open at the beginning of episodes for the majority of its run, before being phased out for its eighth and final season.
