Which do you think is the best opening sequence?

Superbatboy · 03-09-2002, 06:12 PM

5th season (Pastels, Orchestral music) for me!!!

The one with all of them dancing, and it has denise with long hair. I think it was season 6.

In season seven at the end of the opening dont they show Cliff holding up a portrait of Denise? It only shows up for like less than a second though.

That's season 4 with Bobby McFeron singing/huming the theme song. Can you believe all those instruments are actually HIS voice. He's very talented.

I found out the one I'm talking about is them dancing at the Apollo theater...

I Think dancing at the apollo theatre is the best one, it has the shiny black floor, it was the coolest, I Wish I Can remodel my room after I Win the lottery.

That's right! Bingo! That's season 4. I voted for it. The Bobby McFerrin one did the theme song before he recorded the song "Don't Worry, Be Happy" the following year.

I voted for Seasons 6 and 7 at the Apollo, I LOVE that one. I always like the one from Season 4 with the Top Hats. I hate the African dance type thing in Season 5 though.

theanswerman · 10-22-2003, 04:19 PM

i like season 2

barwars · 10-26-2003, 09:08 AM

I voted for....

1985-86(Dancing against a blue background-Pop/Jazz/R&B music)

1987-88(Formal black tie attire-1940s Jazz music)

1988-89(Tropical dance, Orhcestral music)

1989-91(Dancing at the Apollo Theatre, music by Junior Walker)

But I like them all besides the last season,
and not just because its my least favorite season either.

Dean Winchester · 11-12-2003, 11:40 AM

I'm shocked the 86-87 one is so unpopular. It's not a fave but considering it was probably their biggest season, I figured more people would like it

swedeace · 01-15-2004, 01:40 PM

I chose the 1988-1989 Tropical Dance one. I read somewhere that song sequence is called "Kiss Me" for this season. Interesting!

I played a TV Themes CD at work recently, and it was this version, and I had my co-workers guess which TV show this belonged. They thought it was The Simpsons!!

Now, when I hear this from now on, it does seem to sound very Simpsons-ish.

Same as that along with the seasons 6 & 7 opening that has a quote at the end of the theme in which Cliff would say "This is the best elevator music I ever heard." I saw that opening on Nick at Nite in the American version. The Italian version of the seasons 6 & 7 opening from the Italian "Cosby Show" site replaces Cliff's quote at the end with an Italian dubbed quote done by the late, Ferrucino Amendola, the Italian voice of Bill Cosby.

I love the tropical dance opening because you get to see Theo's muscles!

SuperSonicHedgehog · 03-17-2004, 11:01 AM

My favorite one is the 1986 one. I don't know why...but I just think it's really cool, and I like the song that plays with it.
