Veronica's Closet
A lingerie magnate whose marriage collapses in public, in one of NBC's Thursday night bets after Seinfeld.
Veronica's Closet rebuilt its titles: two distinct opening sequences are catalogued here across seasons 1 and 3, running between 30 and 37 seconds.
It arrived on NBC in 1997, when Another World, Columbo and Mad About You were also on the network.
Only 139 of the 2,618 shows catalogued here changed their titles at all; Veronica's Closet did so once.
