Members NYC123 Posted May 7, 2007 Members Share Posted May 7, 2007 I love the All My Children, Young and the Restless Opening, and the Bold and the Beautiful Opening! the reason why is because they all sound really good and they all look great!

Members darraholic Posted May 7, 2007 Members Share Posted May 7, 2007 Days of our Lives- It's classic. I also like Y&R's opening. Hate GH's. ATWT is very meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RionPassions Posted May 7, 2007 Members Share Posted May 7, 2007 Passions - awesome theme song, and the visuals add to the "feel" of Harmony Days- Classic *and* classy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members daysfan Posted May 7, 2007 Members Share Posted May 7, 2007 Ever? Well, the Passions opening has been a favorite of mine, and Days' traditional Hourglass opening I love as well. I'm not sure of my favorite ever, but other favorites was the OLTL opening from 1985(mabye 1984)-1992 opening, and I liked the ATWT opening with the Earth spinning. GH's original opening wasn't one of my big favorites but I did like it very much. AMC's latest opening I actually like alot, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted May 7, 2007 Members Share Posted May 7, 2007 Right now? Days classic, and Y&R's look/sound the best IMO. I also really dug the first few months of the current AMC open, before the cuts ruined the flow. Of all time? Y&R- camera moving towards/away from cast with cheesy wind blowing hair. GH- the early couple of years of faces of the heart open, and Monty's racing ambulance. Guiding Light- The full lighthouse open form the 90's Edge of Night- the 80's versions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members billyjill Posted May 7, 2007 Members Share Posted May 7, 2007 Days & Y&R. I like AMC's concept. GH is soooo busy, but I will say I still get a kick out of Tony Geary getting up at the end (still, why only men!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted May 7, 2007 Members Share Posted May 7, 2007 Damn them....the ATWT opening is growing on me. With a few more tweaks, it could be really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted May 7, 2007 Members Share Posted May 7, 2007 I think there was a poll in the polls section about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted May 7, 2007 Members Share Posted May 7, 2007 It was about opening themes: http://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/index.php?showtopic=9695 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheyenne Posted May 7, 2007 Members Share Posted May 7, 2007 Sylph, that poll was started about a ayear ago. All the themes arn't the same now as they were then. My fav is actually the new one from ATWT. It makes me realize how boring DAYS opening is. Even though I've always loved it and it's a classic, it's pretty boring and the phrase is quite depressing when you think about it. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juppiter Posted May 7, 2007 Members Share Posted May 7, 2007 My *current* favorite is definitely the DAYS opening... I know some people want the cast added, but I feel like the hourglass is a part of Americana. People see that and they know they're watching Days of Our Lives. If they made it more flashy and added the cast, it'd be to the detriment of the show. Less is more IMO. Of all time, I'd have to say B&B 1987-2004 (especially the jazzed up version from the early 2000s), GH 1993-2004, GL 1991-2002, and ATWT 1993-1999. The 90s were definitely a good time for soap openings! I also love OLTL 1984-1991, AW 1987-1996, and Y&R 1989-1999 (though that now looks *ridiculous* in retrospect!)

Members d_wsb Posted May 7, 2007 Members Share Posted May 7, 2007 I think I only like All My Children's currently. But by fav's are: GH's earlier years of the faces of the heart opening, AMC's gold openings B&B's older openings Sunset Beach's music and the opening was ok and Another World old & new opening.

Members jcar03 Posted May 7, 2007 Members Share Posted May 7, 2007 I always find it amazing that people complain about soaps needing to get back to the old days and DAYS keeps the same opening all these years and be complain about that. THAT opening is like a cast member. The new ATWT looks like someone made it in a Jr. High computer class. GH, AMC, OLTL are basically the exact same thing. AMC just has the photo feel to it while GH adds a bunch of ambulance like lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WTGH Posted May 7, 2007 Members Share Posted May 7, 2007 Of All Time? The AMC 2002ish one. I liked the original version of the one they have now. It's become too disjointed since. Even though I'm ATWT's bitch I've never LOVED their openings. They're good but nothing to write home about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
