What tv shows listed the actors names in the opening credits and closing credits - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I know Hogan's Heroes shows us the actors and their names in the opening credits AND in the closing credits, they show us the character names along with the actor who played the character.

What other shows do/did this?

The only show I can think of that used to do that is Taxi.

When I was a little boy I liked watching the closing credits of Hoagn heroes-lol Have no idea why,

treky · 03-19-2008, 01:20 AM

can't think of any, except "TAXI" but someone already said that.

Oh, wait-I think "STAR TREK" did it, too.

Didn't WKRP do it from the third season on?

Jude The Obscure · 03-19-2008, 07:54 PM

Bewitched did this for the first few seasons.

Was it the music perhaps? Or looking at those "hats" they show at the end?

Jude, you are so right abt BEWITCHED, the names were shown during the closing credits too.

This is a newer show, but Life With Derek always does.

My favorite western...The Big Valley.

"I Dream of Jeannie" did it in the first couple of seasons. Larry Hagman and Barbara Eden appeared in the opening credits and the closing credits. After the second season, they stopped doing it and only had them in the opening credits; I guess they thought we knew who they were by then. LOL.

True. If you didn't know them by then...

WKRP pretty much always did that every episode in the closing credits.

I think Bewitched did the same practice, too.

And I think quite a few '50s and '60s shows did this, too.

The Untouchables and I Love Lucy also had this practice. The Untouchables stopped this practice in its final season, though.

Gidget, I think used this practice, b/c I thought I saw Sally Field's name in the closing credits.

The Monkees, b/c they would show their names and faces right before the rest of the closing credits.

Coffeecup · 03-21-2008, 09:23 PM

Can't do that now. Loses too much time. You can't have a snappy theme song for it takes too much time. Tv shows go on differently now.

Zoneboy · 03-21-2008, 09:41 PM

Batman did this also. (main cast only)

Zebra 3 · 03-21-2008, 10:25 PM

Gilligan's Island has the same opening and closing credits as Hogan's Heroes.
