Day 18 - Favorite title sequence

I thought this would be so easy. I was going to pick Buffy the Vampire Slayer's opening and that was that. But then I started really thinking about the theme songs and sequences I really loved throughout the years, and then made the mistake of going on YouTube and got kind of stuck on an 80's nostalgia trip. Ultimately, I think my favorite sequences are The Cosby Show's credits from seasons 4-8 (excepting the godawful credits from season 5.) I liked all the credits post season 1 where they were dancing, but season 4 was the first one where I liked the opening music as well and really wanted to dance with them.

season 4
seasons 6 & 7
season 8


Also the Growing Pains theme. I think my favorite kinds of opening were ones that used clips from the show and where you could see the progression of the characters over the seasons. I also adored that they used pictures of the cast. And the endings for the openings were sometimes different depending on which character had the main storyline. The opening theme never changed, but after season 2 it was sung by different people. I preferred the season 2 singers.

Season 2

The biggest earworm theme for me is the one from Hey, Dude. I haven't seen the show in ages, and yet sometimes out of the blue I'll start singing the song.

"It's a little wild and a little straaaaaange..."


Honorable mentions go to - The Facts of Life, especially the credits from the final seasons: "You take the good, you take the bad..."


Just the Ten of Us: Featuring many of Freddy Krueger's victims
