The Strange thing about the Closing Credits is.... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

How wide the shot was as the credits continued to roll-lol I mean as the music played and credits rolled, the camera shot became WIDER AND WIDER AND WIDER

Just exactly how much of Chicago did they want viewers to see during the closing credits?-lol I was like damm my TV is not going to be big enough in a second if the shot gets any wider. I wonder how the closing credits would look on a Movie Theater screen-

Good point.....It seemed they wanted a panoramic shot or something. Curious what part of chicago that shot was.

I think that has only happened with that show. I don;t recall watching a wide shot of a show in the closing credits when the shot was becoming wider and wider and wider-lol

Step by Step's was sorta like it. It zoomed out on the rollercoaster.

That's actually the last scene in the pilot.

The thing that made me laugh was how it was a wide show of NOTHING-lol Atleast start from downtown chicago and work your way back instead of zooming back from a unknown street in chicago

I hardly even remember this one. But it seems like it was only used for the first season, so maybe it's no wonder. What was the closing credit(s) for the rest of the show's run?

Lorimar Television · 07-07-2008, 12:10 AM

Usually a tag scene. Rarely they do use the end theme while showing stills from that particular episode.

Furienna do you get end scenes/ credits of FM? Because I was wondering, in season 4 on, do they use the end theme while showing stills from that particular episode or still zoom out on the house? I know most have tag scenes, but when they use the end theme, what does it have?

Furienna · 07-07-2008, 12:14 AM

Hmmm... They started having more and more tag scenes as the years passed by. I don't know excactly when they stopped using that closing credits thing, when they zoomed out from the Winslow house over Chicago.

Lorimar Television · 07-07-2008, 12:41 AM

Do you know if they ever use the end theme while showing stills from that particular episode?

Furienna · 07-07-2008, 12:49 AM

No, not "Family Matters". It's either the zooming out over Chicago closing credits sequence or a tag scene.
