This was not used in season 9, but returned in the 10th season, absent again in the 11th, and used when Steve Kanaly returned for 5 episodes in season 12. Most of the 13th season had it, but then towards the latter half of this season, yes, parts of the theme were even doubled because of Lesley Anne Down's inclusion in the credits. The "starring in alphabetical order" and Barbara Bel Geddes title shot used the same cut of the music for these episodes. The show got pretty cheap there towards the end. Think of how the 14th season left April in all the credits, and Cally, too, while on the last season of Falcon Crest, the moment an actor departed, they were cut from the intro.</p></blockquote><p></p>
