Season 1 Opening Credits

[paul_belmonte]

What were the Season 1 Opening Credits like? I mean, I know that they can't be the opening credits of first-season episodes as seen in syndication because those credits are from Seasons 2 & 3. If anybody has any Season 1 episodes from original ABC broadcasts, please tell me what the credits are like along with snapshots of the credits.

Disclaimer: I'm going from memory here.

The first-season opening credits were quite similar to the opening credits for the second and third seasons, with some notable exceptions. First off, the on-screen lettering was that sky-blue color and the different font you see in the show itself. Secondly, Patricia Richardson had a different picture due to the hairdo change (essentially the same thing, just re-shot for second season with the new hairdo). And the other major change was that Earl Hindman was named on the opening credits in his usual spot, but not pictured. I believe it showed Tim and Jill during Earl Hindman's spot.

Otherwise, it was mostly the same.

Oh, one more thing... Richard Karn was not on the first season opening credits. He was listed as a guest star that season.

There's at least 4-5 different ones. In the first ep of the second to last season, they used a really long version that I beleive was never used again. That's just an example of how quickly they changed.
