Mike & Molly
Two people who meet at an overeaters group on the north side of Chicago.
Mike & Molly rebuilt its titles: two distinct opening sequences are catalogued here across seasons 1, 4, 5 and 6, running between 15 and 23 seconds.
At 23 seconds at its longest, it opens well under the 38-second median for comedy sequences in this catalogue.
It arrived on CBS in 2010, when Candid Camera, As the World Turns and Murphy Brown were also on the network.
Only 139 of the 2,618 shows catalogued here changed their titles at all; Mike & Molly did so once.

The Big Bang Theory prequel, narrated by the adult Sheldon it never shows. Its titles are one family portrait in the West Texas hills, reshot every couple of seasons as the children outgrow the last version of it.
