Favorite moments/clips from opening credits

  • Member

Continuing a discussion on my status update, what are your favorite (and least favorite) moments and clips that were included in a show's opening title sequence? Can be stuff shot specifically for the opening or just clips that came from an episode.

Some of my random faves:

Flo playing cards and puffing on a cigar ("Alice")

Willona coming through the front door several times and Michael dropping his pants and covering himself with a pillow ("Good Times")

Phyllis gives the camera the SHADIEST look at the end of the opening ("Phyllis")

Emily stops and poses on her way out the door ("The Bob Newhart Show")

The girls prepare to attack an intruder with loaves of bread and the girls have a paint fight ("The Facts of Life")

Mrs. Roper gets in bed and prepared to kiss Mr. Roper, who pretends he's asleep ("Three's Company")

The Jeffersons and Willises dance in the Jeffersons' living room ("The Jeffersons")

Arnold dances with enormous earphones on ("Diff'rent Strokes")

Paul waves enthusiastically at the camera and runs down the street ("The Wonder Years")

Vanessa side eyes Cliff then gets down ("The Cosby Show")

Blance struts down the hallway ("The Golden Girls")

Regine plays air trumpet ("Living Single")

I loved that moment, too, even though the song they perform ("Girl Talk") is more than a little bit sexist.

They sang "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" in the scene being referred to (The Temptations guest starred). "Girl Talk" was done in another episode, around a piano.

Really? I could've sworn it was the "Girl Talk" number.

Oh, well. Thanks, Redd! :)

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.

Ha! I know Ross Hull!

I don't know how I forgot this one, but Martin Kove putting on his shirt in the Cagney and Lacey credits is wonderful.

He was a big part of many Canadian childhoods when I was a kid, also being the main storyteller in the superior Canadian version of Goosebumps, called Are You Afraid of the Dark? It's so weird seeing him as a weatherman now.

Let's hope Shout Factory will....they are the only ones I think could make it happen.
