The Simpsons S1 - S5 Couch Gags
I chose to use this clip of the opening of The Simpsons because it shows you some of the variety of different openings for the show. I think they changed the opening for almost every episode of the programme because it kept the viewers interested and it gave you an insight into what was going to be shown in that episode.
I also chose to show The Simpsons opening sequence because even though The Simpsons is a cartoon its more for older people and is loved by many ages, this means that it gains more viewers and is loved by families. Furthermore, its viewed on a variety of well known and popular channels such as: Sky 1, Sky 1 HD and Channel 4.
F.R.I.E.N.D.S - Opening Season 1
I used F.R.I.E.N.D.S because firstly, its one of my favorite programmes. Secondly, the theme song by The Rembrandts- I'll Be There for You is extremely catchy and anyone who hears it knows that its the F.R.I.E,N,D.S theme tune.
Also the lyrics in the theme song imply that they're all a group of friends who'll be there for each other. Also the sequence shows that its a comedy by the dancing and falling in the fountain etc. Basically, about a group of friends just having fun.
The Big Bang Theory
Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait...
The Earth began to cool,
The autotrophs began to drool,
Neanderthals developed tools,
We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries,
That all started with the big bang!

The whole programme is basically a comedy about a group of scientists which links in with the name of the programme and also the opening sequence and the lyrics in the opening sequence (which are shown above).
The opening sequence barely shows the characters which is different in comparison to the other opening sequences I've looked at but also quite unusual because the programme is mainly about the characters. I think they did this to show that the characters life is all about science.
I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here
The opening sequence to I'm A Celeb features animal noises which goes with the horrors of whats inside the jungle. Also the helicopters bring in the letters of the title of the show with the celebrities on them links in with the programme as the helicopters first take the celebrities to their destination.
The opening sequence is informative in a very fun and creative way as it shows you what celebrities are featured in the show and their names so you know who's who which is helpful when there's celebrities you haven't heard of. Furthermore, every series of the show has the same opening just different celebrities which makes it easy for viewers to recognize the programme.
Coronation Street
The theme tune for the opening of Corrie is quite old fashioned which fits with the programme as its an old classic which means that the audience will recognize it as the theme tune has never changed. Also it doesn't feature any characters as different characters step foot on and off the cobbles frequently so it would be forever changing.
If it did feature the characters on the opening it would be so long as there's a whole street full of characters. But I don't think that the show is about the characters I think that the shows about the street itself and that's why its in the opening.
America's Got Talent
America's Got Talents intro is exciting and eye-catching with the exciting music and colours and fireworks. It shows that the programme is entertaining and with almost the same theme song every year everyone recognize's it. The figures doing various tricks demonstrate what may be shown on the programme which will bring in viewers as they expect to see amazing talent.
