I thought "Favourite versions of the theme/opening titles" meant the whole title sequence and not just the theme tune. Was I wrong?

No, you're not wrong, I think I worded incorrectly and I can see how it looks both ways.

I'm happy to keep it as we are doing it. The way you see it, because we do have a second go at it when we pick individual character images.

1. TNT Season 1 – I was completely transformed back to my youth only with the technology of today and hearing the theme start up over the screen and speakers was a dream come true.
2. Season 5 – This was the year I bought my first VHS recorder and I remember recording all episodes of this season and watching them twice a week.
3. Season 4
4. Season 3
5. Season 8

To be honest, I'm having a hard time getting into this one because I was never particularly fascinated by the openings, but I guess I'll do it anyway. Note: I'm going by dvd season numbering.

1. Season 7. JR looks cool here, and for some reason Sue Ellen's close-up makes me laugh out loud!
2. Season 6.
3. Season 5.
4. Season 4.
5. Season 3.
6. Season 2.
7. Season 1.
8. Season 10. Oh, Jack! Why couldn't it have lasted!?
9. Season 9.
10. Season 8.

I always found it hilarious how they used that same image of Pam walking across Southfork for years!

I'm liking it as it was for the remainder of the series and the reunions, and that for the straight-ahead flyover shot of Texas Stadium.

My very favourite version of the theme is the one used on the season thirteen DVD.


And this is my favourite version of the opening titles, poignant too, as it's the last to feature some of my favourite stars, Susan Howard & Victoria Principal. I love the slow tracking shot to Southfork at the end. The theme tune itself in the sequence is another one of my favourites. It's unique as there's a special bridge in the theme over the images of Susan Howard & Steve Kanaly. Apparently it was composed like that to honour the characters of Donna & Ray Krebbs.
