I was watching the first Ropers ep which was the one wth Larry and noticed the Different Opening Credits. Also I noticed some additional scenes in that episode with Larry. There was a hot tub scene with Ann in her black bathing suit which was NOT on the episode I sent you. So I was very surprised Last Night

TV Land showed the extended opening in every episode aired. They also ran the closing credits announcer and split screen free!
The closing theme was the rare version with a slower beat to it than the opening and had a voiceover by Audra Lindley saying "The Ropers was videotaped in front of a studio audience".

That's because TV LAND knows the show is not on DVD-lol They do things like this when they are the only ones who have the Ropers Uncut versions-lol By the way, that Closing Theme was HORRIBLE

Yes, very rare. I even saw some tags in there. I haven't timed the episodes yet, but there could be a chance this was unedited.

Solomon, you sent me the one from Larry, do you know what year the repeat was from?

Pav that's what I was thinking-lol I was like-"Wait a Tag scene for the Ropers? It maybe unedited. And I was even going to record the eps because I have them all on DVD.

Repeat?

Repeat?


I thought the one you sent me was a repeat from somtime during the 80's.

If anyone can make a video of the opening/closing that TV Land aired for SO and my TC website, it would be great. I would myself, but I have been just very busy. I'd credit you of course.

I hope tonight they don't do VO's and split screen for Three's a Crowd. We have the unedited opening on SO and my TC website, but I don't think I have a good version of the closing.

I can do it Pavan, I burned them to DVD so it would be real easy for me to make them.

Oh, great, thanks so much. You'll be credited.

Also, I didn't get to catch the unaired pilots on TV Land, but did unaired pilot #2 have actual closing credits, or was it just like on DVD?

I missed the pilots too so I don't know

Here is the video, it is ten Mega Bytes http://www.freewebs.com/gftapes/The%20Ropers.mpg

Darn, thanks. I had the 2nd unaired pilot on on Saturday at 9:30am, but didn't think to stick around for the closing credits.

Thanks for the file. I'm downloading now; is it the opening? Or both opening/closing?

Just the opening, I can get the closing too if you want it

Yeah, that would be great, because I have never heard Audra Lindley saying "The Ropers is taped in front of a live studio audience."

The episodes are not unedited, because I timed the one with Larry at around 22 minutes. But TV Land gives us tag scenes and some other scenes not seen in normal syndication, but they do remove some scenes we normally see. They also gave us full original opening and closing credits. So, I think this is a plus. Also, if you have versions from local channels and the ones from TV Land, you put both together and you might have the episode unedited.

Thanks a lot! You'll be credited when it is posted.

That Closing is So Bad. What is that?-lol

It is boring, they should have had them driving there car in the background or something. The house isn't that appealing to look at for a minute-lol
