Members SoapDope Posted January 7 Members Share Posted January 7 Someone in the comments on youtube said when they were a little kid and heard that end theme they would run under the dining room table screaming because it scared them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted January 7 Members Share Posted January 7 Well, I have also seen YT comments where people as children were frightened of Beverlee McKinsey, so there's no accounting for children's taste!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted January 7 Members Share Posted January 7 It is muddy looking. I guess they thought with the out of focus look it fit in with the 70's obsession with gritty dark film making. There also was an obsession with nature themes. They could have at least changed the leaves to fit the seasons. That one for Fall, Snow on branches for Winter, Buds for Spring, Green leaves for Summer.

Members Khan Posted January 7 Members Share Posted January 7 For some reason, it reminds me of when Charlotte Rae (aka "Mrs. Garrett") sang part of "The Facts of Life"'s theme song during that show's first season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted January 7 Members Share Posted January 7 Charlotte sounded like she was half lit......then again she always acted half lit. " Blaaaaaaaaaaaaair !" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 7 Members Share Posted January 7 (edited) You'd be lit, too, if you had to play those scenes, lol. Edited January 7 by Khan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted January 7 Members Share Posted January 7 I will say, my favorite "version" of the theme is the original opening credits cut with flute on the lead. The vocals were only used for the closing credits before the strings version replaced both. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted January 7 Members Share Posted January 7 The flute is okay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted January 7 Members Share Posted January 7 Facts Of Life became one of those shows that NBC forgot to cancel after it ran out of steam. A network Exec in 1988 " You mean it's still on" ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted January 7 Members Share Posted January 7 That's the thing I liked about GL, they had numerous themes and would change it up. I much prefer the 1975 to 1981 theme over the stupidity that was the 1982 disco theme. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sapounopera Posted January 7 Members Share Posted January 7 I also like the Ritournelle. More than any intro that followed it. It's the show's logo that had no personality and creativity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted January 7 Members Share Posted January 7 I like the theme beautiful tune, but the graphics have a melancholy vibe. Does anyone know who created that opening graphic ? It reminds me of when I was a kid and there would be a nature graphic for Station ID or when there would be technical difficulty and they would show a graphic place card of trees, a stream etc... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted January 7 Author Members Share Posted January 7 Jon Michael Reed suggested it was more suitable for a Tampax commercial. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
