Opening Credits? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Does anyone here think they should change the show's opening credits?

Personally, I think they should keep the theme song but update the scenery that Doug, Carrie, and Arthur appear in Queens.

I also think a change would be good.

queenschick · 02-06-2005, 09:07 PM

You guys got any ideas of how it should look like?

Well, I think there should be a change, because it's been the same for so long now. I'm not really familiar with Queens. You are the Queens expert

, what changes do you think should be made?

LOL well you know how they show the red 7 trains in the very beginning? Well the 7 trains sadly aren't red anymore. We were always known for being the Redbirds but they decided we should be normal like all the other trains lol. Hmm what else...well you know that store that says Champion Ping Pong that comes right before Doug and Carrie are sitting under a tree in the park? Well that's also gone..i live a block away from it lol. They made it a mini-shopping mall [though I like to refer to it as the mediocre mall]. And umm I dunno maybe they could go back to the other places like the Lemon Ice King or the Unitron again. I'd just like to see how it would look

Guess I'm too much like one of Pavlov's dogs - but I like the intro just fine because I know when I see it (and hear it!) - that I'm about to get a real treat!!!! And I especially like the part in the intro where Douglas drops the ice cream out of his cone and Carrie rolls her eyes - kinda says it all, doesn't it?

Me too! LOL but I think they should do sort of a re-make kinda thing. Like if they do decide to change the intro, that they would visit the Lemon Ice King of Corona again and do the sae exact thing..y'know just to show how they've changed..lol I can't explain this...

I think the opening credit would be better if you saw the other characters to like Decan, and everybody. I love the themesong thought.

My eyes are gettin' werry, my back is gettin' tight. I'm sittin' here in tarrfic on the Queensbrough brigde tonight, I don't care cuz all I wanna do is cash my check and drive right home to you. Baby all my life I will be driving home to you!

nooooooo!! i dont think they shoud change it.. i am so used to it now, and i love the scene in the park when Carrie and Doug are play wrestling and Arthur is walking in the back!!
Does anyone know why they show so many scenes in Brooklyn? They always always show the Verrazzano Bridge, and always scenes of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn!! Are they re-using clips from another show? Or did somebody forget the difference between Brooklyn and Queens and thought nobody would notice?

Samme · 02-16-2005, 08:28 PM

I hope they keep it the same. Openings are
hard to come up and it's best to stick with
something that works. Also when you see a
new one it usually seems a strained effort
and also doesn't work as well. The show itself
is starting to get more inconsistent and needs
to get back to quality of those older shows.
It doesn't need a new opening to try and dress
things up that might really act as a dividing
line of when the show started to slip and
which shows to avoid. The opening is fine.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Brooklyn and Queens aren't too far away from eachother plus if you are coming from down south like Florida etecetra and you want to go to Long Island NY you can take the Verranzo Bridge and you go threw all of Queens just about and Brooklyn.My parents and I did that coming from Washington DC a few years back because we went to visit my grandparent the day we got back from DC.Mel

i duno i thik they try to pass off some shots from Brooklyn, as it were Queens. PS. to go to LI is a diff way, the Verazzano is the only way to Staten Island.

Well anyway I think its cool, I wish they would come HERE to shhot all those scenes!
