Pav did you notice the EXTENDED Opening Credits for the Ropers?? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 09-17-2006, 11:24 AM

I was watching the first Ropers ep which was the one wth Larry and noticed the Different Opening Credits. Also I noticed some additional scenes in that episode with Larry. There was a hot tub scene with Ann in her black bathing suit which was NOT on the episode I sent you. So I was very surprised Last Night

TV Land showed the extended opening in every episode aired. They also ran the closing credits announcer and split screen free!
The closing theme was the rare version with a slower beat to it than the opening and had a voiceover by Audra Lindley saying "The Ropers was videotaped in front of a studio audience".

That's because TV LAND knows the show is not on DVD-lol They do things like this when they are the only ones who have the Ropers Uncut versions-lol By the way, that Closing Theme was HORRIBLE

Yes, very rare. I even saw some tags in there. I haven't timed the episodes yet, but there could be a chance this was unedited.

Solomon, you sent me the one from Larry, do you know what year the repeat was from?

Pav that's what I was thinking-lol I was like-"Wait a Tag scene for the Ropers? It maybe unedited. And I was even going to record the eps because I have them all on DVD.

If anyone can make a video of the opening/closing that TV Land aired for SO and my TC website, it would be great. I would myself, but I have been just very busy. I'd credit you of course.

I hope tonight they don't do VO's and split screen for Three's a Crowd. We have the unedited opening on SO and my TC website, but I don't think I have a good version of the closing.

I can do it Pavan, I burned them to DVD so it would be real easy for me to make them.

Pavan · 09-17-2006, 03:27 PM

Oh, great, thanks so much. You'll be credited.

Also, I didn't get to catch the unaired pilots on TV Land, but did unaired pilot #2 have actual closing credits, or was it just like on DVD?
