wasn't used for the opening credits?-lol I know they had to choose from a lot of camera shots and chose the ones we see today but I would like to see WHAT wasn;t used in the opening credits. Like maybe that Big Girl is seen Jumping ROPE in front of her house -lol

they couldn't use that footage cuz when that big girl jumped up and down, the ground would shake and the camera wouldn't stay still...

One camera shot they used that I will never understand why is the older man on the bike in the closing credits. You just saw the back of him riding down the street. That shot was kind of weak IMO.

I just saw that for the first time right now. I never noticed that before! And that was kinda dumb.

I do love the scene of all the kids running, especially the guy with the white belt on, LOL, soooo seventies, LOL It reminds me of being a kid and just running around like an idiot!

I'm confident that the scene with the kids running was RESHOT for the season 4 opening credits. On the Season 1, 2, and 3, Opening Credits, it's not as SUNNY as it is during that scene on Season 4

I like the kids running too. At the end, that one afroed woman throws her hands up like, "Look at me on the camera". Very distracting. I'd have passed on that shot.

That afroed woman basically wanted to know Why am I being filmed?-lol Yeah I agree they could have chosen another one

I think it would be a bit boring to see all of the footage. I maybe if they stopped and talked to some of the kids then yeah it would be interesting. It looked like they migh've drove around the projects a couple times and went up into one of the apartment buildings for a shot and that was it

I think that it would have been interesting if they had a couple of shots of Thelma, Michael and JJ walking in and out of the building. And maybe James and Florida getting on or off the bus.

Why would it be boring?

Because it looked like nothing more than shots of a play ground and kids playing. I doubt that they stopped people and talked to them.

Brieanna, Brieanna, Brieanna-lol, What I'm asking is wouldn't it be cool to see the other camera shots of the Chicago Inner City that could have been included in the opening credits. That way you could decide for yourself and say-"I like that shot right there"

I know my name you don't have to repeat it lol. And I don't think that they would have had any footage of any other places in Chicage because the sitcom dealt with a family living in the projects and that's what they shot.

Brieanna, LOL- I'm talking about the other camera shots they took of the GHETTO that they felt wasn't good enough for the opening credits. The Other shots of the Projects, that's what I mean.
