Which opening did you like best?

My personal fav is the zoo because I love Teri and I like how they changed the music to add that extra effect (which I can't explain but if you were to listen to the ending credits at the zoo its the first thing you hear)

i liked the 3rd one the best too!!!!! i guess cause i liked teri better than chrissy and cindy!!!!!

My favorite opening was the beach and pier opening. If I had to choose, I'd say the pier version was my favorite.

I liked the first two versions of the theme song better. I hated the short version of the theme used for seasons 7 and 8 in syndication. It sounded horrible, IMO. The themes for seasons 1 - 5 were great, and so was the long version of the season 6 - 8 one.

I think I liked the one on the pier the best. I don't even really know why,though. I also liked the rare ending credits for that where instead of Jack, Janet and Chrissy walking away it's with them all on the bumper cars. I think that one's only showed on a few eps though...

I read the book "Come and knock on our door," about the opening with the beach and the zoo.

You know how Jack falls off his bike into the sand after looking at the pretty girl walking by in the beach opening? Well, the girl is actually Suzanne Somers (Chrissy) in a black wig.

In the zoo opening, when Jack falls off the fence while staring at the lady walking by him, the lady is actually Richard Kline's (Larry's) real life wife.

Also in the zoo opening, Janet is standing with a baby feeding some birds I believe, the baby is John Ritter's real life son.

I thought those were interesting tid bits.

Does anyone know what I am talking about with that extra sound effect? I just wanted to know if I was the only one in the world who ever noticed this? Like I said they play in the beginning of the ending credits and also the beginning of the long opening zoo credits and throughout the opening credits. One place where is comes is right after the line "laughter is calling for you"

Also (and this really sounds crazy) did anyone ever think that their were like backup singers, which I think sound like little kids in the first part of the ending zoo credits (on the trolley) towards the end of that part, it would be during the part of when its music playing the "come and knock on our door, come and knock our door" part.

Wow, its really sad that I've noticed all this but for some reason throughout my growing up, seasons 6-8 have all been on tv during the summer time, even when I was a little kid like 10, 12 years ago and I hardly have ever gotten to watch seasons 1-3.

i liked the beach opening the best

I liked the pier opening best.

I prefer the opening credits during seasons 1-3 on the beach.

I liked the pier.. It was just more lively I guess

I voted The Pier (Seasons 4-5).

yes, that's also my favorite opening

The Pier (Seasons 4-5) is winning.

The part I liked about the pier besides the fact that I liked that theme song the best was the part at the end where Janet and Jack turn around, and Jack's shirt says something about going on a date, and Janet's says no...and then Chrissy pops in and hers says "Blondes prefer Gentlemen"...it's sorta corny, but I've always liked that part! ;)

my favorites are the zoo and the pier, but i think i like the zoo better. I like it when Mr. Furley starts growling like the lion and the kid looks at him funny. It was also funny when Larry was getting a picture with Janet, and Janet moved and Larry leaned his head against the elephant.

in the pier one, i like the part where larry gets into the bumper car and it's really a guy.

I like the zoo the best. I agree with setzer about the Mr. Furley growling thing, lol.

The Beach opening's always been my favorite.

Detroitbryan, I know exaclty what you are talking about and that is also my favorite opening/closing sequence!

The sound seems to be a very ambient synthisized string that added a nice touch to the theme. I noticed it mostly in the ending credits (when the're all in the trolly).
They only used that version of the theme for a few episodes.

I am yet to purchase a sitcom DVD set, but hopefully the Threes Company DVD seasons include the complete intro and outro's so I can hear it again. :)

Do they usualy show the intro/outro on the DVD collections? :confused:

Wow I'm glad someone finally noticed what I was talking about with the extra sound effect for the zoo opening/closing! I think the absolute best opening is the long zoo opening. The song sounds the best and its the most entertaining.

i like 4th season
