Members Chris 2 Posted May 10, 2022 Members Share Posted May 10, 2022 Wow - those look like they cost about five dollars and were created on someone’s Vic-20. Thanks for posting them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paul Raven Posted May 10, 2022 Author Members Share Posted May 10, 2022 Thanks for posting. They were pretty awful, but what got to air wasn't much better. They needed to incorporate the traditional cloud visuals. With imagination, they could have been updated. Any Search cast montage that doesn't build to Stu and Jo doesn't cut it for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Forever8 Posted May 10, 2022 Members Share Posted May 10, 2022 The theme is giving me "Fame" vibes while the opening titles itself is giving me "Star Search" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris 2 Posted May 10, 2022 Members Share Posted May 10, 2022 I remember when they had the last opening theme prior to the show’s cancellation, one of the versions did not end with Jo, instead with the McCleary brothers. Which is an outrage Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NothinButAttitude Posted May 11, 2022 Members Share Posted May 11, 2022 Whoa! I share the same sentiments as others--I am glad P&G opted to not go that route and continue to keep the clouds in the intro in '86 as it was synonymous with the show for the most of its history. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 11, 2022 Members Share Posted May 11, 2022 That was so tinny I could taste the metal. Really bad stuff - the '8i0s no one is nostalgic for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted May 11, 2022 Members Share Posted May 11, 2022 100% agree, I mean read the room, the McCleary brothers were not lighting the audience on fire enough to devote that much time in the montage to their shenanigans. However, let's give a little notice of the youthful hotness of one Mr Matt Ashford; smoking... And how'd they get that circus horse into the studio? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 11, 2022 Members Share Posted May 11, 2022 Or, even better, "Love Connection." You could just FEEL the audience scores tabulating with each change in the graphics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Spoon Posted May 11, 2022 Members Share Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) I'd rather jo and stu be at the start of the intro, being senior cast members, definitely not lost in the middle. For example,, Bob, Kim and Nancy usually were the first shown in the 1999 ATWT intro. Then you have a modern fan fave like Lilly appear last. That's how it should be done. First and last spots being the important people. Edited May 11, 2022 by Spoon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members robbwolff Posted May 13, 2022 Members Share Posted May 13, 2022 What an amazing find! Thanks for sharing this. I had a few thoughts and observations about the opening. One was that, unless I missed it, I didn't see any sign of Louise Shaffer's Stephanie Wyatt in the opening. Also, the opening really illustrates Mary Stuart's comments about how the show shifted the role of the matriarch to Kate McCleary. Kate is definitely featured more prominently that Jo. Also, based upon the date on the video, this was produced while Erwin Nicholson was executive producer. I wonder if he may have used whoever had created the final opening sequence for The Edge of Night. There are definite similarities between Edge's final opening and this one for Search. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
