Y

The letter Y accounts for 26 of the 2,618 shows here, with 31 opening title sequences from 1961 to the present.

Six of them are filed here rather than under their first word, because an index ignores a leading "The" or "A" — The Young and the Restless, The Young Pope and The Young Ones among them.

Three rebuilt their opening titles mid-run, Young Sheldon most of all with four sequences.
