Has anyone mentioned Joel Higgins doing his little dance in front of the video game (from "Silver Spoons")? If you haven't, then I'm surprised.

I love the barely concealed anger and "why is that camera on me?" look on Phylicia Rashad's face in the first season Cosby Show intro. Someone must have told her, because she's happy, peppy, fun fun fun in all the other intros, but the first one is the one that seemed most like Claire to me.

I know the season 5 intro was hated but I always enjoy it, even if it wasn't the best idea for a full season. It reminds me of The Simpsons.

I think I like better the one where she first shakes her finger at "the Cos" then gets down wit her bad self. It's probably the very moment where we were able to define the word "bougie."

Mackenzie Phillips grooving the [!@#$%^&*] out of those bell bottoms.

Snyder's tool belt shimmy.

Priscilla Barnes' flamingo leg.

Henry Rush's proud papa stroll with his arm swinging and nod to a passerby as he and Muriel push Andrew in the baby carriage.

The very suggestive way Lydia Cornell takes a seat in the first version of the TCFC opening titles.

Donna Mills strolling in her short shorts in an early Knots season.

Jim Davis' three shot, smoking a cigarette in a shearling coat and Stetson, in a slick overcoat to the left...

Cliff Barnes fluffing his pocket square.

J.R. clapping.

Sable Colby tossing her coat, Constance flinging open those double doors.

Mary, Sandra, and Rose doing the Supremes.

The 80s Sesame Street intro where the kids are walking over the small bridge.

I wasn't counting primetime soaps, but if I do, then of course my favorite has to be the Knots years where they had the montage of Val in her chair at home/Abby looking at the ocean from her beach house balcony.

Tom Willis strutting into the Jefferson's apartment in a big black hat, and pounding George's head in the powder room.

Louise as Mae West.

Roxie Roker's shoulder shimmy from the Dallas spoof episode.

Maude's "cool" playa walk across the room followed by the very pointed one.

That gorgeous autumn shot of the house as Tony and Sam pull up in the junky blue van.

Angela hugging Mona from behind.

Theo wildin' out break dancing, Rudy doing her popcorn dance.

Oops, sorry, didn't mean to include soaps!

I miss how shows would put their special guest stars in the opening credits, like Mama's Famil, Too Close For Comfort and even Gimme A Break when Rue McClanahan was on.

Mike Brady glancing over at Cindy, over at Bobby, then shaking his head in exasperation.

In the original Lucy Show opening, when the cartoon Lucy and Ethel finally get the logo sign up and stand proudly with their hands on their hips.

There was a little girl in the Sesame Street opening about ten years ago. She was in a wheelchair and was just having the time of her life turning a jump rope. It always made me smile.

Melrose Place's Jake opening his refrigerator for a midnight/post-coital snack.

The old lady who smacks Felix with her cane in the Odd Couple opening and keeps it moving.

The various configurations of Charlie's Angels strutting out of the police department. Also, Kelly serving as crossing guard.

Laverne and Shirley daydreaming as beer bottles move by on the conveyor belt at Shotz Brewery.

Three's Company: "How about a date?" "No!" "Blondes prefer gentlemen."

Room 222, when Karen Valentine steps down on the bus, the frame freezes for her credit, then the bus driver closes the door in her face before she can get off.

Mrs Garrett and her girls posing on the lounge sofa and later behind the kitchen counter.

The guy representing Woody in the Cheers opening.

Peg Bundy mixing a salad while smoking and Marcy finding a cigarette in her salad.

A great Canadian teen show, Student Bodies. Love the moment where Flash flashes Victor in the face with her camera and the last line of the opening, "It's not real life, it's high school." One of those shows I never tire of watching no matter how many times I've seen an episode.

    • Thanks for searching through everything. Worked on them so long, just too lazy to check for those links myself, so I am glad you chose to do it! I guess I never did type out anything for 1973-1977 in regards to the preemptions, but they are on the charts at least (and this far back, they don't seem to do any of those "breakouts" anymore, so things are simpler in the 1970's, so eventually I could type those out). 
    • I dump on the Y&R sets problem all the time, but BOLD is no better -- and they're not even introducing new sets. All of their sets are years old, and very few look like they're inhabited by people with money. Is that going to change with this move? I'd rather they save the money spent on another remote, which is no better than an HGTV travelogue, and get some new/better sets.
    • The donut posts here make up for a Friday show that was barely meh. Aside from seeing Anna, I really didn't care much about anything else. While I understand the thought behind breaking up all the sadness with "other scenes," I'd rather they moved right to John's funeral. Instead of hearing a stupid story about John changing some minor character's tire 20 years ago, just move on to the crying. I also thought the Chad and Cat scenes were a waste. I realize not everyone is devastated by John's death to the point of not functioning, but going sky diving is a choice. By the way, Jack and Jennifer are giving me nothing on this return. Please leave asap. DAYS did such a great job with John's death, so ending the week this way was a letdown.
    • Add Dr. Montgomery to list of fine women on this show! I hope the show goes forward with Madison/Chelsea and then once they're developed, bring back Allison, who is now divorced or a widow, for a Madison/Chelsea/Allison triangle.  It would definitely be the hottest triangle in daytime.  
    • I wonder if Linda Bloodworth-Thomason had Kim in mind for any of her other characters/series. If they intended Allison Sugarbaker (Julia Duffy's character) to be more in line with who Suzanne was/Delta Burke's portrayal-persona, then I think Kim would have aced that. Yes, it would have been odd, Kim having previously played a different character (from a different family), but Designing Women wouldn't have been the first show with that issue. Or maybe Kim could have played Beth Broderick's role on Hearts Afire. Or Patricia Heaton's role on Women of the House.
    • Sony is probably waiting until Y&R’s lease is up as well. All of TV City is going to be gutted, so they have to relocate at some point. 
    • At this point Y&R's next step is to go fully green screen and have the actors Zoom from home.
    • I was just taking about this in the Y&R thread - they desperately need better studio space. 
    • Errol posted that Ed Scott retired
