View Full Version : shows that had a different opening titles sequence in every season
jamesanthony 12-04-2004, 06:05 PM I can't think of any long running show where the main titles were different in every single year, but The Cosby Show probably would've had a different opening in year 8 if not for the issue with the mural that caused the mural opening to be used for year 8 instead of year 7. One Day at a Time seemed to have different openings in every year except year 3. The Brady Bunch had 4 different openings over 5 seasons, but is there any show that ran for at least 4 years that had a different opening in every season? (not including shows like the Simpsons and Mission Impossible where the opening has a difference in every single show)
slackermonkey 12-04-2004, 06:10 PM Friends. They actually used two different sequences per year, changing it in the middle of each season. I think the only exception is the first season, which changed slightly about five times, and the final season, which never changed.
Will & Grace almost did, I think theirs changed each season for like the first five years.
spunkygirl 12-04-2004, 07:15 PM Boy Meets World had a different opening every season but Seasons 6 & 7, 6 & 7 had the same opening, Seasons 5, 6, and 7 had the same theme song though.
Who's the Boss had a different opening except for Seasons 1 and 2 they had the same opening the first two seasons.
I think Family Matters and Step By Step did as well.
Dean Winchester 12-04-2004, 07:25 PM many of the hour-long dramas do
Buffy changed every season, changed three times during the fourth season (first to remove Seth Green when he left the show, then to add James Marsters, and then to add Marc Blucas). Charmed's opening credits have been different all seven seasons too, and also they only will use Dorien Gregory (Darryl) in the opening credits when he's in an episode, because usually he's in maybe half the episodes a season.
spunkygirl 12-04-2004, 07:51 PM Lois and Clark did, Smallville so far has
EmoJoe 12-04-2004, 08:31 PM Full House did
Mrs. Ducky 12-05-2004, 10:29 AM Leave it to Beaver did.
AtlantaBravesFan29 12-05-2004, 11:20 AM The Mary Tyler Moore Show had different openings each year it was on,one year it had an abbreviated version of the theme song Love Is All Around.
What's Happening had different openings each year it was on.
The Facts Of Life also had different openings each year it was on.
Superstar 12-05-2004, 11:39 AM Sabrina, the Teenage Witch opening credits were the same from seasons 1-3, then season 4 got a new one. Season 5-6 were different and season 7 was a slight change on the season 5-6 credits
PZelda 12-05-2004, 12:59 PM I can't remember how many times they did this, but Roseanne changed their opening credits a lot too.
Joker85 12-05-2004, 04:31 PM Ellen had different openings every season I think. Of course, her theme song changed every episode for a while as part of a running gag if I remember correctly. Can anyone back me up on this?
WilCap 12-05-2004, 11:35 PM Angel changed durin middle of first season to take Doyle off and add Wesley and then they add a character every year, sometimes two
musicradio77 12-09-2004, 06:38 PM "Full House", "The Cosby Show", "Family Matters", "Who's the Boss?" and "Friends" has different openings from every season.
Caffeine King 12-09-2004, 11:25 PM Good Times changed during the last two season I think it was, showing clips of the cast as their name was on the screen.
robyrob 12-10-2004, 11:01 AM Happy Days, Mork and Mindy, Bosom Buddies, and Laverne and Shirley had different openings each year.
I think that any show with a reasonably large cast HAS to make a couple of changes each year as characters come and go (or when actors demand to be listed first, last or "and starring...")
spunkygirl 12-10-2004, 02:36 PM I'm pretty sure A Different World did too, I haven't seen all the episodes and all the openings so I'm not completely sure

No, ADW kept the same opening sequence for seasons 2 to 6 I believe. I believe only the first and last seasons were different.

ADW had 3 openings- for year 1, years 2-5 and year 6. In years 2-5 the only changes are for actors coming and going.
