Line 76:
* Several of [[Gerry Anderson]]'s shows have separate opening and closing themes.
** ''[[Fireball XL5|Fireball XL 5]]'' opens with an instrumental theme and closes with the song "Fireball".
** ''[[Stingray (1985 TV series)|Stingray]]'' has an all-action opening theme and ends with the romantic ballad "Aqua Marina".
** ''[[Thunderbirds]]'' was all set to have a separate, lounge-esque theme with vocals for its closing credits, but it was scrapped weeks before the premiere. (However, "Flying High" - the song in question - is heard ''very'' briefly in the episode "Ricochet," and is also included on one of the soundtrack albums.)
** ''[[Captain Scarlet]]'' (original version) begins with a tense, atmospheric theme and opening narration, and closes with an [[Lyrical Dissonance|upbeat theme tune]] (both instrumental and vocal versions were used over the course of the series).
Line 90:
* ''[[3-2-1 Contact]]'' used the same credits theme from 1983 until its cancellation, even after they rearranged the [[Opening Theme]]. The first season had two ending theme variations, one was an instrumental version of the opening theme, the other was an extended version of the trailer/promo theme.
* Three words: '''[[Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?|DO IT, ROCKAPELLA!]]'''
* Just about [[The West Wing|any]] [[Early Edition|series]] [[My So-Called Life|with]] [[Studio 60
* ''[[Only Fools and Horses]]'' used different opening and closing themes, both by series creator/writer John Sullivan.
* ''[[Felicity]]'', ''[[Lost]]'', ''[[Alias]]'', ''[[Fringe]]''... you name it, if it's produced or devised by [[J.J. Abrams]] (and not called ''What About Brian'') it'll have a theme at the end different from the opening. And often (but not always) the opening theme will be by Mr. Bad Robot himself as well.
Line 100:
* ''[[Wonder Pets]]'' plays an instrumental version of the main character's [[Leitmotif]].
* Parodied on ''[[The Simpsons]]'' with "Itchy and Scratchy"; the opening theme's cheerful tune and "They fight and bite . . ." lyrics are transformed into a mellow "they fought and bit . . .".
* ''[[
* [[The Raccoons]] ended with an '80s new-wave song performed by Steve Lunt for the first season, and Lisa Lougheed for the rest of the series. [[Crowning Music of Awesome|You can RUN with US! We've got EVERYTHING you NEED! RUN with US! WE are FREE!]]
* [[SpongeBob SquarePants]]: Cierre Bob Eponja.
