The Opening Credits Game - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Fairly simple--simply describe a TV show's opening credits sequence.

Next person, gives the answer and then describes the next show to be guessed.

Please stick to well known TV shows....if you pick an obscure, short-lived, or overseas show that isn't familiar, you will just grind the game to a halt and that is not the point in playing these games.

I'll start:

A grid of 9 squares with family members looking at each other against a blue background.

Go!

The Brady Bunch

A dumpy couple singing at a piano and the woman has a voice that will curdle cream.

All in the Family

You see some clouds, then a school, then a shot of a boy writing on a blackboard, some more shots from around town, then a family arriving home to sit on the couch in front of the TV.

The Simpsons

Shots of turn of the (20th) century pubs and patrons, pics of mugs with hefty heads of beer, etc

Cheers

An airplane is shown flying around a picturesque island before landing.

Wings

Scenes of a woman driving her car, finding her apartment, going to her workplace, and then walking down the city street tossing her hat in the air.

The Mary Tyler Moore Show

We're shown two identical teenage girls, who are sung about, and one has only seen the sights of Brooklyn Heights. We are also told they are a crazy pair and we could lose our minds....

The Patty Duke Show

An opening shot of the Empire State Building, then a car along a bridge, then to a suburban house, where the door is opened by the title character, who is shown in various scenes of flouncing, trouncing, and every thing but bouncing.

Fresh Prince of Bel-Air? (Not 100% sure.)

Six friends dancing in and around a water fountain.

Friends

The main character walks out of a store, gets in his work truck, drives his truck, then scenes of him & his wife spending time together outside(the wife's dad is in a couple of the scenes.)

The King of Queens

Scenes of a mom and kids loading up the station wagon, the mom jumps for joy, scenes of the car traveling, and the family is shown entering the new apartment and collapses on the still covered sofa.

I didn't think my last one was all that hard...but it was One Day at a Time (first season)

Here's another hopefully easier

A large family is seeing playing in their yard, tag football, then decide to form an impromptu pyramid, then collapse onto the ground into heaps of laughter. (Hint: early seasons/instrumental theme song, hour long show)

OH Nuts! · 05-10-2009, 11:25 PM

Oh...me....me!! I know this one...one of my favorite shows: Eight Is Enough!

She's prancing thru NYC, winks at herself in a store mirror and can be seen running thru Central Park with a kite in her hand!
