Cheers
A minute of hand-tinted engravings and old photographs of strangers drinking, none of them from the show and none of them the cast. The bar you are about to spend eleven years in is introduced as the latest in a very long line of them.
Seasons 1–11
Unchanged across all eleven seasons, which is the more remarkable half: a sitcom that ran a decade and replaced most of its leads never once updated its opening, because the opening was never about them. Castle/Bryant/Johnsen assembled it from archive — books, private collections, historical societies — and Gary Portnoy's theme does the introducing instead.
