How could I forget - Patty "rocking out" in the Patty Duke Show credits. I will never, ever forget this. Even when I want to.


I almost chose this.

There are several in the Alice credits. I always like Flo fixing Alice's uniform.

It just breaks my heart when I think about how "Angie" basically imploded. I've seen several episodes and I think it had potential as long as they kept the focus on the romance between Robert Hays and Donna Pescow's characters. But, as Garry Marshall admitted in his autobiography, the show died because he let it get away from him.

The first view of the bridge in the Taxi theme. You soon realize it's looped together, but it's still a striking, beautiful shot.

The park scenes in the Valerie/Hogan Family credits.

The grafittied traincars in the Welcome Back Kotter credits.

Jennifer Hart (Stefanie Powers) doing a hairdo check in her handheld mirror, just before it looks like she's about to cut that bitch to her right. Also, the shots of the airplane, and the speedboat. All in all, "Hart to Hart" has to be my favorite opening credit sequence.

Yes, I really liked the outdoorsy feel of that show's openings. Sandy catching the baseball and giving that nod like "Yes, I caught it!" is great.

Brian Tanner looking up from his homework and saying, "Hi, ALF!" was one of my faves as a kid. We never actually heard him say it, but every time I watch that show, I can hear his voice.

DEE THOMAS running out of the Thomas house on What's Happening!! and giving the most epic eyeroll as Mama calls for her to get back in the house. One of THE best.

I used to look forward to this intro every week. The Damon and especially the Kim shots are absolutely perfect. Kim and that groove pretty much made me a fan for life.

Joey Lawrence gyrating his hips in the Blossom opening.

Friday Night Lights had so many great shots. Tami hugging Eric from behind as he sits in his office, Lyla cheering, the Panther cheerleaders leading the team through the banner at the start of a game, Landry helping Matt practice in his yard, and it just goes on and on.

Of course, we can't forget Isaac Washington shooting those finger guns at us.

Marla Gibbs' "I mean no place, child," at the end of the 227 credits.

Andy and the guitar in the Parks and Rec theme, which is 99% funnier than most of his material on the show.

The Facts of Life intro that starts with Edna's Edibles. That is one that is always burned into my brain, for some reason. Along with the shot in the later seasons where Jo is playing the piano. Other shots - Jo taking off her motorcycle helmet, Edna grabbing every girl by the shoulders, and a burnt Blair about to give Jo a beatdown.

That part with Mrs. Garrett always reminded me of the MTM opening when Mary goes to each of her co-workers and accidentally smushes Ted's hat.

Mr. Drummond crouches down as Arnold and Willis run to get into the limousine.

The Simon brothers drive across the Coronado Bridge.

Sister Bertrille flies through a convent window.

    • This can be difficult for a soap to depict. So far she's only shown an interest in women. Will a man come into her life? If she commits to a male, there will be  backlash, but if it's women only, them where is the bi/queer aspect? Personally, I would have liked a single gay male on the show dealing with hook ups/relationships etc. Smitty/Martin married with kids is limiting in those terms.
    • Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.
    • Jordan was gone from '87 to mid-'89. He left just weeks after Robert's late '86 return.

    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
    •   Victoria's house (that she long ago lived in with Billy) burned down (I think Aunt Jordan set it ablaze?). Victoria briefly moved into the ranch after the fire, with Claire, Johnny and Katie, I think? Mariah and Tessa and baby Aria had been living in the tack house but they bought a house we've never seen and moved there. Victoria, Claire, and Cole then moved into the tack house as soon as Teriah left. I guess Victoria's children Johnny and Katie would live with Victoria at the tack house eventually? But Johnny and Katie went to boarding school during the school year. Not sure if we'll see Johnny and Katie for the summer vacation or where they would live.
    • Victoria’s previous house burned down.    And I know why characters frequent Crimson Lights 3 times a day for brownies, muffins and empty mugs:   THERE’S PCP IN EVERYTHING. 
    • Today was a good episode, and the week for that matter. I think they've also done a better job with background music. The scenes in todays episode weren't as silent as they usually are in the background and it was noticeable. I think the show has found its groove well and I'm still invested.
