POLL: "The Best Show Opening" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

David VP · 06-01-2004, 05:18 AM

This question / (poll) has probably been asked before...but I couldn't find any sign of this ultra-important LITB matter when going back a few pages here, so here it is.

My favorite "Opening" is Season 6 -- the "jazzed up theme" year. I kind of like the jazzy music from the 1962-1963 season. YMMV.

Please note also --- In the Season 5 opening, the door "magically" opens AND closes all by itself as June walks out with the cold lemonade beverages!

Well, I guess we can always assume there's somebody else inside the house (other than a "Cleaver", because they're all in the yard) to open & close the front door for June. Perhaps Eddie or Lumpy was visiting, and acted as a "doorman". It's either that, or the Cleaver Pine Street house is of the "haunted" variety.

Aw heck. I just found the most-recent Poll with this exact same inquiry (from October 2002).

Oh what the hell....why not vote again?

Season 6 -- "Jazzy Theme Music; With Gang Running To Car"

I love the jazzy music.

I thought the one where they greet them at the bottom of the stairs with their lunches was kind of sweet.

I think I like the one where everyone runs to the car though..

Season 2 -- "Ward & June Greet Boys With Lunches At Bottom Of Stairs"

stevea · 06-03-2023, 12:28 PM

Yeah, season 2. Wally slams the door so hard the wall shakes (check it out).

CosmicCharlie · 06-03-2023, 04:49 PM

the one where everyone runs to the car that has NO GLASS IN THE BACK Window !

Howard · 06-16-2023, 01:32 PM

I do prefer the JAZZ-opening of the final season too!

Howard · 06-16-2023, 01:33 PM

Never noticed that!

Howard · 06-16-2023, 01:34 PM

Or they have a maid?

Howard · 06-20-2023, 04:47 PM

I like the 5th season opening with June rocking that perfect Flip-hairdo serving up that lemonade. I think that longer hairstyle made her look the prettiest!

In the one where June carries a tray of lemonade -- the door opens automatically! There is no one else inside to open it for her - they are all working in the yard. The door just flies open for her -- maybe she has telekenesis?

Imagine June with the POWER of Jeannie or Samantha !
Imagine June in Jeannie's Outfit !
