Members Mr. Vixen Posted June 30, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 30, 2012 Okay, I actually like the new opening. There are only two things I don't like: 1) It's REALLY hard to see the pictures on the sides. I was only able to see Maurice Benard and Julie Berman. I can't figure out who else is there. So I wish those were larger, or that it was a couple seconds longer so we could see. 2) There's no ambulance. EVERY GH opening has had an ambulance, except for the nurses station one.

Members Cheap21 Posted June 30, 2012 Members Share Posted June 30, 2012 You're not supposed to make it out. There will be rotating versions of the opening with different groups of pics emphasized and thats when you will see the other characters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted June 30, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 30, 2012 Oh, okay. Then my only gripe is the ambulance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 30, 2012 Members Share Posted June 30, 2012 No gripes for that skyline? I'll just save them for myself then. They should just rerun this skyline instead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7nDu6bwgQ8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted June 30, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 30, 2012 I don't like the skyline but I've gotten used to it from Night Shift and the last opening. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 30, 2012 Members Share Posted June 30, 2012 The skyline is just there to remind us of "Cartini"'s commitment to racial diversity. http://www.metacafe.com/watch/4600866/the_jeffersons_theme_song/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 30, 2012 Members Share Posted June 30, 2012 Look, it's ANOTHER skyline! And with the sister of a beloved GH actress. Let's have Terri and Starr duet on this timeless number. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMBE9IAS3M4&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marco Dane Posted June 30, 2012 Members Share Posted June 30, 2012 I dont really like the skyline either since it's not proportionate from the original open. Since the 1975 open the hospital was facing a highway now the hospital is facing the river and behind towering buildings. I just wish RC would look at the original open and fix this error.

Members Vanguardian Posted June 30, 2012 Members Share Posted June 30, 2012 Actually, this show writes exactly that. It may not be effective crime drama but it's there, especially as it continues to be almost completely devoid of any love and romance. On this show there's murder, rape, kidnapping, bad cops, baby switching, occasional drug running, continuous gangsters with their gunplay, and the list goes on and on. All of it falling under one category: CRIME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted June 30, 2012 Members Share Posted June 30, 2012 You're aware that this isn't a head writer error, it's an executive producer error, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cyberologist Posted June 30, 2012 Members Share Posted June 30, 2012 Re: New Opening, Its very short, the music is nondescript, and the usage of extremely old pictures other than that its fine. I'm not suprised the ambulance was eliminated since it hasn't been a real hospital show in a very long time...but I always liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted June 30, 2012 Members Share Posted June 30, 2012 Its funny how little talk there is about the show. 3 pages of discussion of the new opening. I don't think the opening is bad. It just cheap and plastic like the show is now. Its fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted July 1, 2012 Members Share Posted July 1, 2012 Watching Thursday's ep. The reality show stuff continues to be a joke...what kind of reality show producer stands in front of the cameras, in the middle of all the drama & gives his input on what everyone's talking about?! MOVE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted July 1, 2012 Members Share Posted July 1, 2012 Well. It's kinda like this. They could do a better opening for a show that just won the Emmy for Best Drama. Also..Just making time for more ads. I'm sick of everything being over commercialized in this day and age. You really don't notice it until you watch a sitcom or a drama from the 70s/80s/90s on DVD for the first time and realize how much is cut for commercials when the same episode is rerun on TV. I read yesterday on another soap forum. Or, it may have been here. That back in 1999 that General Hospital was a minute and a half longer than it is today. Even with the 50 second Faces Of The Heart opening. That's pretty ridiculous. Also. Most of the ads run in daytime and primetime both are for medication and medical issues. I don't want to see a flipping erectile dysfunction commercial every time I turn around. But, I do anyways. Plus, to me. The opening/theme song of a show is a presentation. It says "Watch our show....Cause, we have an awesome theme song/opening" It also makes the program memorable. I can start singing a theme song and most everyone knows the show it comes from.......like this. "Come and knock on our door. We've been waiting for you...." See. Bet you wanna watch Three's Company now right? If I started humming Faces Of The Heart in public. Someone might wanna go watch GH. Now, there's nothing to hum or sing. Or actually give identity to a program. And, it's bullcrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted July 1, 2012 Members Share Posted July 1, 2012 I thought the opening looked really great visually, minus the pics. They could've taken some updated ones. I also didn't care for the music. It just didn't seem like GH to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
