Members Khan Posted January 19, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 I always laugh at that opening. It sounds like the show itself flatlined, and they needed to put shock paddles on it to keep it going. And then there's the random Riunite print ad dumped in the middle of all those "Trapper John M.D."-esque surgical room photos, as if they're saying, "Oh, wait, there's some lovin' too!"

Members Mr. Vixen Posted January 19, 2013 Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 I started off liking the OLTL opening but I eventually grew tired of it after 8 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AdelaideCate007 Posted January 19, 2013 Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 Well I was watching back then LOL, and Trevor was awesome. Him and Natalie were just so much love (I know Carl won't agree). I was sort of over it by the time he married Janet from another planet for real, but still. The freezer death was just wrong.

Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted January 19, 2013 Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 I [!@#$%^&*] hate title cards. I really do. IMO. They are cheap and totally uncreative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juppiter Posted January 19, 2013 Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 Oh god, this is one of my favorites of all time. LOVE the music LOVE the posing it screams soap opera. The current Y&R one I dislike. I get they were trying to go back to their roots with the white but I hate the font and I hate the stupid black bars. The 90s white opening was better. My least favorite I think would be the JFP AW opening. To me it screams desperation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted January 19, 2013 Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 LOL! About the AMC white opening. I wasn't a big fan of the style of it but the theme music (particularly this version of the cue) will always have a special place in my heart as it was the one that aired when I first started watching AMC ;-) And highly unpopular but I LOVED the GH siren opening style/theme. What I hated was the lack of updates (I'm still bitter none of the Zacchara's ever made it in after 2 years of being on the show...damn) and that embarrasing ending w/all the guys.

Members MissLlanviewPA Posted January 19, 2013 Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 So true, though! So many shots that needed updates, it was ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted January 19, 2013 Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 LOL you know me and opening sequence discussions Yeah I actually like the theme. It's not as epic as AMC's since it's shorter, and the previous OLTL opening was DYNAMITE. But it was definitely acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted January 19, 2013 Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 So many contract players never got in. No Johnny, No Claudia, No Nadine, No Layla...and on and on and on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted January 19, 2013 Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 PREACH. For this, I think a gif is acceptable. Find it for me, boo! Oh LORD, do NOT get me started on the lack of updates to the GH Siren Opening. It made my blood boil. At the end especially. It was literally a game of "Where's Waldo?" in terms of who in the male shot was actually still on the show, let alone alive! JEESUS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted January 19, 2013 Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 I remember reading once that there WAS an alternate version shot with all the women dressed up too, but I can't remember the reason why it was never used.

Members Pine Charles Posted January 19, 2013 Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 I guess. But I did like Janet saying things like, "Trevor's giving me the cold shoulder" and "Trevor is freezing all his emotions.", ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AdelaideCate007 Posted January 19, 2013 Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 I swear they never updated that thing to add people in but like two times. They hardly ever updated to take people out either, and by the time they quit using it, half of the guys in the closing shot were off the damn show.

Members alexisfan07 Posted January 19, 2013 Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 LOL go look at my post. I just said that, and that some of them were dead! We are SO in sync right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted January 19, 2013 Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 Boo, I'm ALL about theme songs no matter WHAT genre of TV they are. Another least favorite of mine: The short bumper-sized AW opening that they had at the end. I actually like the longer version, but all the short version was was a bumper that they thought they'd use as the opening. Stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
