TV Show Opening Themes that never changed - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Nanny Fine · 05-12-2003, 01:03 PM

What TV Shows, both sitcoms and dramas, had the same opening theme, credits, etc the entire run? FRIENDS wouldn't count because the scenes change per season for example.

Highway to Heaven was always the same
Little House on the Prairie was the same until it became the New Beginning
WKRP In Cincinnatti was the same I believe
The Nanny remained the same

Anyone else?

Maude
Bewitched(credits remained the same,even when Dick Sargent joined the cast,and the announcer said,"Elizabeth Montgomery in Bewitched")
I Dream Of Jeannie
The Flying Nun
Law And Order
Amen
Small Wonder
I Love Lucy
The Honeymooners

The Wonder Years with the 'Little Help From My Friends' song by Joe Cocker. I think they kept that the whole time along with the home movies opening.

The last season was completely different, no home movies stuff. I mean the last season opening credits. Same song, completely different opening.

Family Ties had 2 different sets of singers. The theme was sung differently for the first 10 episodes.
