Opening Titles

Why Girls, Bates Motel and New Girl are going with minimal title sequences

Having mentioned Rhoda in the previous post, I realized that that’s a good example of how shows used to have opening titles that reflected the way they were re-tooled. Unlike its more successful cousins at MTM, Rhoda had a different main title every year, because it was adding and dropping new characters every year and trying to reach a different demographic.
