Help with opening credits - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Can anyone tell me how to identify seasons 1-9 by the opening credits? I have been trying to list the differences as I see them, but am not having much luck. I know in season one Dan & Roseanne do a pinky grip and Darlene and D.J. walk around the table. I think Crystal is only in the first two seasons. In one they're eating Chinese food, in one they're eating pizza and Darlene's arm comes close to knocking over her soda, but in another one her arm is not close. There is also one where they are playing cards. And then there are the "morphing" ones with and without Lecy. I guess the one where Dan has a beard is the last season.

Can anyone shed some light so my mind can rest?

I think the credits go like this:

Seasons 1&2: DJ and Darlene walking round the table
Seasons 3&4: The family playing poker on the table (Crystal is in these also)
Season 5:The family having pizza
Seasons 6&7:The family having chinese (I think there were a few verisons of this one wernt there?)
Season 8: Cutouts of the cast of how they have looked over the years lined next to eachother in the kitchen
Season 9: Photos of how the cast looked over the years which changed in a photo frame.

Is that what you're looking for?

In season 1 and 2 ROseanne and Dan do a pinky grip, Jackie's Hair is still up and with a curly perm. Roseanne is wearing a brown shirt, and I'm not sure exactly what they're doing, but there is also like a little bubble gum dispensor stuck to the table(Crystal appears but is not credited)

IN seasons 3-4, they are playing poker with the chips, pretzels, marshmallows, etc.(This is also wear Crystal is credited)

IN season 5, they are are eating pizza, and Crystal is out of the opening credits.

IN season 6 they are eating chinese food. IN the second half of the season SArah Chalke is seen and credited. Also this has the guitar theme song.

IN season 7, the opening credits are the same, but the theme song is changed, and goes to saxophone.

In season 8, they are morphing through their looks over the years, in what seems to be the kitchen in the background. Also, this is the season where Lecy Goranson returns to the show. The same theme ong is used as season 7.

IN season 9, they are morphing through the the picture frames in various parts of the house. SArah Chalke returns, and theme changes to vocal sung by Blues Traveler.

I hope that helps you.

Thanks for your help. I will check it out!

I like the one when D.J. is little and at the end he goes to Roseanne for a hug and then Dan kisses her and D.J. squirms out underneath to get away from the mush. That is just how a real kid would act.
