Line 13:
** Two episodes of the series also have special ending sequences, replacing the normal upbeat ending with somber ones fitting the events of the episodes in question.
* In the episode of ''[[Nana]]'' when Nana "Oh" first sings her hit song "Rose" over the phone to a friend, the ending credits are replaced with a shot of the friend's cell phone and computer, and the second verse of the song.
* ''[[Gun X Sword]]'' liked to change its closing credits sequence to reflect major events. At the end of Carmen99's [[A Day in Thethe Limelight|focus episode]], "Paradiso" replaces the usual closing theme ("A Rising Tide") and plays over a picture of her instead of the usual montage. "Paradiso" plays over a still shot of fallen roses after another episode. And at the end of Episode 24, {{spoiler|"Calling You" plays over the quiet beach scene that Ray fantasizes as he dies}}.
* ''[[Macross Frontier]]'' had an episode based on the filming of a movie telling the plot of [[Macross Zero]]. The closing credits were done in the style as the end credits of the ''movie'' - even having a scene afterwards set during the premiere.
** Various other episodes of [[Macross Frontier]] had special end credits, usually continuing whatever song is being sung by Ranka or Sheryl at the time.
* ''[[Inukami!]]'''s ED is normally a cute little number about friendship among girls. In an episode where the perverts of the town save the day, the ED suddenly changes itself to be about friendship between [[Hard Gay|manly men]]. Completely new graphics and lyrics, same tune. Ridiculous and yet, it works so well.
* The opening for some episodes of ''[[Yes! Pretty Cure 5]] GoGo'' featured some clips from that season's [[The Movie|movie]]. Similar for ''[[Fresh Pretty Cure]]'', which previewed the [[Bat Family Crossover]] movie (and later, the season's actual [[The Movie|movie]]) on its opening.
** This has carried over into ''[[Heartcatch Precure]]'' and ''[[Suite Precure]]'', where previews for the [[Bat Family Crossover]] ''[[Pretty Cure All Stars]]'' are shown in the opening titles early on and the previews for their movie is shown around the 30-episode mark.
* The seventh episode of the originoal ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]'' [[OVA]] completely dropped the opening title sequence for a simple, low key, dark opening, as a reflection of the end of episode six.
* The Title sequence for ''[[Tenchi Muyo! GXP]]'' usually features silhouettes of regular series stars Ryoko, Ayeka, and Tenchi. During the episode "Seina and Tenchi", which featured the original cast, they showed them completely.
* The ending theme of ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' changes from time to time depending on who the episode mainly focused on and whether or not their version of the theme was already made.
* ''[[Ghost in Thethe Shell: Stand Alone Complex]]'': The first [[Season Finale]] is a [[Cold Open]] which completely omits the opening credits and theme music.
* For the [[Series Finale]] of ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'', The shot of the spiral galaxies during the ending sequence speed away until you can't see then anymore.
* A minor example from ''[[Transformers Armada|Transformers: Micron Legend]]'' - In 51 episodes, the title is superimposed on a picture of Optimus Prime. The one exception was the episode "Cramp", where the [[Episode Title Card]] was omitted and the episode title was projected directly on top of Starscream's face.
Line 31:
== Fan Fic ==
* Audio example: ''[[Fobbies Are Borange]]'' has had several opening song changes; from a sophisticated theme for the two episodes with a british narrator, to the a cappella theme for the Moonside episode, to the epic song for the final episode.
* [[Script Fic]] ''[[Calvin and Hobbes The Series (Fanfic)|Calvin and Hobbes: The Series]]'' has one for season 3 premiere "Dr. Brain Chill"; the credits are overlaid on various shots of space.
** Same with "Tracer Bullet in Color!", taking after film noir opening credits.
 
Line 39:
** The musical episode "Once More With Feeling" had a mellowed version of the theme song playing over a shot of the night sky, with each actor's face appearing on the moon as he or she was listed in standard credits order.
** Similarly, a few episodes changed the [[Vanity Plate]] at the end: "Becoming, Part II" features the little monster lamenting, "I need a hug..." in place of his normal "Grr, argh!", there was a Christmas episode in which he wore a Santa hat, and the above-mentioned OMWF had him ''sing'' his grr-argh. Likewise, in the Season 7 documentary-style episode, he sing-songs ''"We are as GOODDDDSSSS"'', a running joke in the preceding episode.
* ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]]'' replaced its usual titles, showing a history of exploration, with a version showing a history of conquest for the [[Mirror Universe]] episode "In A Mirror, Darkly".
** It even went far enough to change the ''theme song''. Oddly enough, many fans prefer the new theme to the show's real theme...
* The "what if" episode of ''[[Friends]]'' featured a [[Title Montage]] of the "what if" versions of the characters. These clips were not seen in the ensuing episode.
** The first episode of ''[[Friends]]'' after Courteney Cox married David Arquette appended "Arquette" after each cast member's name.
* ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'' has made special opening credit for several episodes:
** 3.08, 'A Very Supernatural Christmas' Instead of the normal opening (which featured an exploding Devil's Trap), this christmas special had [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDy8HPFZJIE an exploding ornament] and a Santa hat over the A.
** 4.05 'Monster Movie' was a parody of classic black and white monster movies, with a black and white opening
** 4.18 'The Monster At The End of This Book' showed cover art from the series of ''Supernatural'' [[Show Within a Show|books within a show]] written by Chuck Shurley as Carver Edlund.
** 5.08 'Changing Channels' also contained parodies of several stock television shows, and replaced the opening titles with a sitcom-style montage, complete with appropriately-styled theme song and credits (in the "[[Full House]]" font, no less).
** 6.09 'Clap Your Hands if You Believe' paid homage to ''[[The X -Files]]'' and redid the opening to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUkM9asVLuE play the X-Files theme and show footage of the brothers in the same sort of poses as the orginal X-Files opening did.] (Title sequence starts at about 1:03 in that video.)
** 6.18 'Frontierland' copied the burning map credits from ''[[Bonanza]]''
** 7.08 'Season Seven, Time for a Wedding!' had an exploding wedding cake with [[Richard Wagner]]'s Bridal Chorus for music.
* During the "occupation" storyline, the 2000s ''[[Battlestar Galactica]]'' replaced images of the fleet with those of New Caprica under Cylon occupation, and used a different title crawl.
* The "X-Cops" episode of ''[[The X -Files]]'' used a modified version of the title sequence from ''Cops''.
* When ''[[The Drew Carey Show]]'' filmed an episode in China, the "Cleveland Rocks" sequence was replaced with a simple [[Title -Only Opening]] with the show's title in English and Chinese (accompanied with the drawing of Drew from the "Moon Over Parma" sequence).
* ''[[Psych]]'' is fond of doing this in "theme" episodes, usually remixing or completely changing the theme tune as well. The Christmas special featured the same lyrics and melody as the normal song, but with sleighbells and over-the-top "Christmas-y" instrumentation, while in episode 213, "Lights, Camera...Homicidio", the credits are sung in Spanish.
** Also, in Season 4's "Bollywood Homicide", the song picks up a distinctly Eastern sound; most of the theme song was sung in Hindi, and the actors' names appeared in Hindi text which then switched to English letters.
** The sixth season episode "The Amazing Psych-Man & Tap Man, Issue #2" is done with the theme redone in a heroic orchestral style and the opening sequence in comic-book panels, specifically an homage to the opening sequence of ''[[The Cape (TV series)|The Cape]]''.
* Done in the two [[Something Completely Different]] episodes of ''[[News Radio]]''. The one set [[Recycled in Space|in space]] had [[Standardized Space Views]] instead of the usual [[Establishing Shot|Establishing Shots]] of New York City. The ''Titanic'' parody had an Irish folk version of the theme over sepia-tone shots of people salvaging artifacts with the actor's pictures on them.
* The ''[[Just Shoot Me]]'' episode "My Dinner with Woody" had the titles done in the style of the credits of Woody Allen movies (plain white text over black).
* The ''[[Babylon Five5]]'' episode "The Corps Is Mother, The Corps Is Father" used a credit sequence with Psi Corps insignia in place of the usual Babylon 5 shield.
* ''[[Red Dwarf (TV)|Red Dwarf]]'' sometimes changed the end credit music, for instance the first appearance of Ace Rimmer had the normal Rimmer play out the theme on a hammond organ, whilst Gunmen of the Apocalypse had a wild-west version of the music, and "Waxworld" ended with an Elvis impersonator singing it.
* The ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' [[Parody Episode]] "200" abandons the concept of a minute-long [[Title Montage]] used for most of the series' run. When discussing [[The Movie]] of the [[Show Within a Show]] ''Wormhole X-Treme!'', Cameron Mitchell insists on a "strong opening title sequence", while Martin Lloyd says, "No one does that anymore. You just throw up the title and get on with it." This is immediately followed by a [[Title -Only Opening]] for ''Stargate SG-1''.
** Though this is only borderline "special"; during this part of the show's run, the shorter form was always used when the show was first aired, to leave more time for commercials. However, the full opening had been back for a few episodes.
*** If anything, it was more of a [[Take That]] at the Sci-Fi Channel's much-maligned decision to remove the full-length [[Title Sequence]].
Line 72:
* ''[[The Young Ones]]'' did this two weeks on the trot with Nasty - done in the style of a Hammer-Horror film - and Time - the first five minites including the titles sequence parodies Dallas.
* When the '80s to '90s revival of the ''[[Mickey Mouse Club]]'' did a reunion special with the original '50s version, they mixed footage of the old theme into the newer theme and added the "[[Donald Duck]]!" and "High, high, high!" bits that weren't in the later version. You can watch it [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LDqw7NlLOM here] (it comes after the Mouseline segment).
* In a Volume 3 episode of ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'', the usual title is replaced with an evil-looking 'Villains'.
** The episode is called "Villains".
* ''[[Kamen Rider Decade]]'', being also a Toei production like ''[[Pretty Cure]]'', also promoted its movies by replacing part of its opening sequences with scenes from the ''[[Kamen Rider Den-O]]'' film ''The Onigashima Battleship'' for the second part of the Den-O arc and the entirety of the [[Kamen Rider Kabuto|Kabuto]] arc, and with scenes from ''All Riders vs. Great Shocker'', lasting from the [[Kamen Rider Black RX|Black RX]] arc to the penultimate episode (That makes '''five''' episodes up until the final one, making that one a borderline [[Evolving Credits]] as well.). Considering that its [[Grand Finale]] is in the form of [[The Resolution Will Not Be Televised|a movie]] premiering three months after the series ends proper, this leaves it up to...
Line 78:
** ''Double'' also did special openings in a story arc centering on an ''[[American Idol]]''-style TV show, replacing half of the standard opening with footage of the theme song's performers (who play judges in those episodes) performing the theme on the "Idol" stage.
** The 'movie footage in the opening' thing has become a tradition since Decade started it. ''OOO'' did it three times (for Movie Wars Core, Let's Go Kamen Riders, and OOO Wonderful) and ''Fourze'' has done it for Movie Wars Megamax. The movie footage is never the same in any two episodes, though. ''[[Super Sentai]],'' on the other hand, only movie-ifies end titles..
* ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'' had a miniseries, ''Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers'', where the the entire world (Rangers included) was under a time-reversal of 10 years, leaving the Rangers as powerless kids (as they didn't have their powers yet back then), so aliens stood in for them until they managed to find the [[Reset Button]] (and [[Power Rangers ZEOZeo|new powers]], since the bad guys managed to destroy the Power Coins while the rangers were unable to fight). It featured a [[Special Edition Title]] with a special edition theme song, "Go, Go, Alien Rangers!"
* One of the later episodes in Season 5 of ''[[Lost (TV)|Lost]]'' had, rather than its normal opening sequence with the "LOST" logo flying at the camera, a similar sequence on a starfield, and then the Enterprise flew by to promote the [[Star Trek (Filmfilm)|2009 Star Trek film]], also released that year.
* The final episode of ''[[The Prisoner (TV)|The Prisoner]]'' has the same end credits, but the opening credits replace the famous normal opening with a long helicopter shot over the Village, accompanied by a different theme music (actually written as the second half of the theme and only broadcast once before, as part of the incidental music in "Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darling"). This was probably because it was the second half of the show's only two-part story. It was also the first time that it was publicly revealed that the show was filmed at Portmeirion, which had previously been kept secret to heighten the in-show mystery of the Village's location - although ironically the Portmeirion location was not used in the last four episodes.
** The episode "Living In Harmony," a [[Western]] [[Elseworld]], replaces the opening with an equivalent sequence in which the character rides into town and turns in his sheriff's badge.
* ''[[Fringe (TV)|Fringe]]'' uses this whenever there's a timeshift, flashback or major alteration in reality. As well as the style and images displayed, the list of cutting-edge "Fringe concepts" is often used to suggest the nature of the world.
** The episodes "Peter" and "Subject 13" mostly takes place in [[The Eighties]], and [[{{Retraux|looks like as an eighties science program]]; the credits are revamped with a [[Synth Pop]] version of the opening theme, a more "computery" font ([http://www.identifont.com/similar?NIT Amelia], more specifically), and namechecks 80s "cutting-edge-at-the-times" science (indcluding "personal computing" and "stealth technology")
** In episodes set in the parallel universe starting with the season two finale "Over There Part 1 and 2", the usual blue background was now red and several of the sciences shown are different. In the eighth episode of Season 3, which is set in both universes, the title sequence goes back and forth between red and blue.
Line 94:
* For its final episode, ''[[Ashes to Ashes]]'' skips Alex's narration and the opening titles, instead just showing the words "Ashes To Ashes".
* The season 4 premiere of ''[[Eureka]]'', which involves [[Time Travel]] back to 1947, has sepia-toned visuals and replaces the whistling in the standard theme tune with a big band. The Christmas episode in the same season has everything covered in snow, with the whistling replaced by a chorus singing "fa la la".
* For the two versions of ''[[30 Rock (TV)|Thirty Rock]]'''s [[Live Episode]], Jenna (east coast) and Danny (west coast) performed a version of the normally-instrumental [[Theme Tune]] [[With Lyrics]] at the ''<s>[[Saturday Night Live]]</s>[[Show Within a Show|TGS]]'' studio, with the regular opening shown on an adjacent widescreen monitor.
* ''[[Community]]'' does this fairly regularly:
** [[Halloween Episode]] "[[Community (TV)/Recap/S2 E06 Epidemiology|Epidemiology]]" featured redrawn, Halloween-themed images for each of the cast and closed with a howling wolf. It's revisited in "[[Community (TV)/Recap/S3 E05 Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps|Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps]]", with an additional image for [[Promotion to Opening Titles|Jim Rash]].
** [[Stop Motion]] [[Christmas Episode]] [[Community (TV)/Recap/S2 E11 Abeds Uncontrollable Christmas|Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas]] had the title theme integrated into the plot - Abed singing alternate lyrics while dancing from car hood to car hood.
** More thematic redrawn credits were used for "[[Community (TV)/Recap/S2 E14 Advanced Dungeons and Dragons|Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]]", complete with orchestral score.
** A Western themed version of the credits was used for "[[Community (TV)/Recap/S2 E23 A Fistful of Paint Balls|A Fistful of Paintballs]]."
** "[[Community (TV)/Recap/S3 E17 Basic Lupine Urology|Basic Lupine Urology]]" featured a credits sequence done in the style of [[Law and Order]], complete with a rearranged theme song.
** Similarly, "[[Community (TV)/Recap/S3 E20 Digital Estate Planning|Digital Estate Planning]]" showed the cast being rendered in an 8-/16-bit style as their faces were being digitized for a video game, set to a chiptune version of the theme song.
* Done in a minor way in the India-themed episodes of ''[[Sanctuary]]''. While the normal title sequence remained unchanged, an Eastern-sounding song was added instead of the usual tune.
* The ''[[Sex and Thethe City]]'' movies have a re-orchestrated version of the theme music. Not the only thing that's overdone about the movies.
* Variation: ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' sometimes had special commercial bumpers and/or ending credits, when prompted by the movie or one of the host segments. The typical version was to put different music over it, especially "[[Manos: theThe Hands of Fate|the haunting Torgo theme]]", but other examples exist.
* ''[[Noels House Party]]'', a production by [[The BBC]] featuring [[Noel Edmonds]], did this '''twice'''. First of all, on the 15 March 1997 for the [[Very Special Episode]] ''Noel's New York House Party'' - [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqS8piirvTE video here], with the crescendo of the music featuring a view of the [[Big Applesauce|Statue of Liberty]], and, [[BLAM Episode|more bizarrely]], the guests' names on-screen - [[Tyne Daly]], [[William Shatner]], [[David Hasselhoff]], [[Joan Rivers]] and [[Barry Manilow]]. The words "New York" were in [[Incredibly Lame Pun|"Broadway" font]], a font [[Your Mileage May Vary|considered naff by some nowadays]].
** The second time they did an [[Outside Broadcast]] was from [[Universal Studios]] in 1998, and the episode was called ''Noel's House Party At The Movies'', with similar titles, an episode which is considered [[Fanon Discontinuity]], if not [[Canon Dis Continuity]]. However, [[Word of God]] is that the man himself would have preferred to have stayed in the UK to develop fresh ideas - mentioned on [[YouTube]].
Line 133:
 
== Web Original ==
* The webseries ''[[Awesome Video Games (Web Video)|Awesome Video Games]]'' once had their opening sequence [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etgk-kIOe44 taken over] by R.O.B. Yes, '''[[Nintendo|that]]''' R.O.B.
 
 
== Western Animation ==
* The "international" episode of ''[[Animaniacs (Animation)|Animaniacs]]'' has the theme song and opening entirely in French. Most of the rest of the episode is in English (albeit with internationally-themed segments), except for the short "Les Boutons et le Ballon" (which is presented in French with English subtitles, which are unfortunately missing from the DVD release).
** The "Christmas" episode of ''[[Animaniacs (Animation)|Animaniacs]]'' has the regular credits but with snow.
* The "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZSFvntwgEQ Pinky and the Brain and Larry]" episode of ''[[Pinky and The Brain (Animation)|Pinky and The Brain]]'' opened with Rob Paulsen squeezing in "And Larry" or similar after every line of the theme song, as in "One is a genius; the other's insane" "(The other one's Larry!)"
* ''[[Histeria (Animation)|Histeria!]]'' had a few episodes with unique opening sequences used just for that episode.
** ''Histeria!'' probably had more opening sequences than any other show at the time.
* "The Dabba Don", an episode of ''[[Harvey Birdman, Attorney Atat Law]]'' wherein Fred Flintstone is accused of racketeering, has a title sequence that combines the famous ''[[The Flintstones]]'' title with a black and white montage and a theme song parody of ''[[The Sopranos]]'' opening.
* ''[[The Simpsons]]'' replaces its title sequence for every "Treehouse of Horror" Halloween episode.
** Also, they had Grampa rambling over the credits (until the logo at the end says "shh") and Homer moaning about being poor, complaining about the rich people in the credits as they went on (unfortunately, the latter is [[Edited for Syndication|replaced with the standard credits audio in syndication]]).
Line 148:
*** The episode after the movie featured the town still cleaning up after the various disasters from the movie.
** The recent Christmas episodes had the entire opening Christmas-themed. The odd thing is, they removed Bleeding Gums Murphy in this version, but kept the equally-deceased Maude Flanders.
** The episode "24 Minutes" had the opening parody that of ''[[Twenty Four24]]''.
** The episode "You [[Kent Brockman News|Kent]] Always Say What You Want" just ran a Simpsons short from the Tracy Ullman era in place of the opening.
** The episode "To Surveil with Love" replaced the opening with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeNg5BV0faY a remix] of part of Ke$ha's "TiK ToK".
* Minor example: In the [[Cold Opening]] of a ''[[Kim Possible (Animation)|Kim Possible]]'' episode called "The Ron Factor", the Global Justice network tells Kim that they want to study her sidekick, Ron. Kim expresses extreme disbelief (as she strongly believes herself, as opposed to Ron, to be the main success of their missions), then interrupts the title sequence to express it again. "No seriously, you want ''Ron?''" At the interruption, the [[Theme Tune]] is slightly faded down, and the normal montage at this point is replaced by Kim's complaint.
* A few episodes of ''[[Hey Arnold (Animation)|Hey Arnold]]'' do not play out their regular title sequence. Namely, "Arnold's Christmas", "Arnold's Thanksgiving", "Parents Day" and "Dino Checks Out".
* ''[[Teen Titans (Animationanimation)|Teen Titans]]'' uses a Japanese version of its theme songs as cue for its especially bizarre [[Filler]] episodes. In Episode 24, "Fractured", the opening sequence is sung in Japanese by Larry, the tiny version of Robin from another dimension, and features Larry in the sequence. Later, in [[A Day in Thethe Limelight]] episode for the Hive 5, Jinx interrupts the song to tag the screen with a honeycomb and say, "We're the Hive 5, and this is our show now!"
* The [[Christmas Episode]] of ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants (Animation)|SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' had the normal theme, but sung in high, angelic voices with jingle bells, and the usual title logo replaced with a title card showing SBSP decorating a Christmas three.
** The episode "What Ever Happened to SpongeBob?" replaced "SpongeBob SquarePants" in the theme with "WhoBob WhatPants".
* Another show with a special title for Christmas was ''[[Codename Kids Next Door (Animation)|Codename: Kids Next Door]]'''s "Operation Naughty", with the normally-white background turned green, snow falling over the titles, and the title decorated by Christmas lights [http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a391/Numbuh4fan/Naughty/OperationNAUGHTY005_0039.jpg (see here)]. That episode also had a [[The Teaser|teaser]]. Only "Operation End" and "Operation Knot" had a [[Cold Opening]] before this, and those were much shorter than the one in "Naughty".
* ''[[Animaniacs (Animation)|Animaniacs]]'', ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'', and ''[[Pinky and The Brain]]'' all had special openings for their respective [[Christmas Episode|Christmas Episodes]], in which jingle bells played with the music and snow fell over the titles. Also, the latter two had specially themed lyrics.
* As a [[Mind Screw]], the producers of ''[[The Venture Brothers]]'' did the opening to the season 2 premiere... without the titular brothers. [http://www.teevee.net/archive/2006/09/boy-idiots-mad-scientists-and.html Source.]
** The first episode of the third season was all about the villains, and thus the credits featured their silhouettes in place of the expected titular brothers.
* ''[[The Backyardigans]]'' had these for both two-parters. For the first one, ''"International Super Spy"'' (parodying the [[James Bond]] movies), there was an opening in the style of the episode rather than the regular one. For the second, ''"Tale of the Mighty Knights"'', the theme song is done in the style of '70s hard rock.
* The 1962 ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' short "Now Hear This" replaced the usual WB shield in concentric circles with abstract spinning lines and a jarring "modern" version of the theme song, a fittingly unnerving opening for a [[Deranged Animation|truly deranged cartoon]]. A couple of years later, when WB shut down their animation studio and started farming Looney Tunes out to other studios, this became the standard opening for what is generally acknowledged as WB's [[Dork Age]].
* The original ''[[Rugrats (Animation)|Rugrats]]'' Christmas episode used a Christmas-based remix of the title theme.
* Not ''that'' noticeable, but the [[Milestone Celebration|10th anniversary special]] of ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'' had the entire intro remade in Flash animation (which was used to make the special).
** Also, the [[Musical Episode]] didn't have any opening but the show's title and "Documentary" began with the title of said in-universe documentary.
* A ''[[Recess (Animation)|Recess]]'' two-parter has Lawson form his own group who manage to outsmart T.J.'s good deeds in every way possible, to the extent they end up being forgotten by the playground and are driven into obscurity. The second part opens with a cut-down version for the opening titles, only for Lawson to yell "Hold it!" A modified version of the titles then plays out, with Lawson's group replacing T.J,'s (plus, Miss Finster ends up standing without Randall and the clock numbers are all jumbled up for whatever reason).
* Both ''[[Daria]]'' [[The Movie|made-for-TV movies]] featured special titles.
** And in the [[Musical Episode]], the theme song was altered to sound more like it belonged in a musical production.
* The Halloween Special of ''What's New [[Scooby Doo]]'' cut the opening credits altogether and instead showed the words ''A Scooby Doo Halloween'' in large letters over the opening scene as a [[Title -Only Opening]].
* The early full-CGI series ''[[Re Boot]]'' had special titles for several episodes.
* ''[[Happy Tree Friends]]'' uses Halloween graphics in the opening for Halloween-themed episodes, complete with the theme song being done in minor key.
Line 176:
'''Candace''': Mom! Phineas and Ferb are making a Christmas special! }}
* The ''[[Futurama]]'' episodes "Mars University", "Bender Should Not Be Allowed on Television", and "Spanish Fry" all have different versions of the [[Theme Tune]] playing.
* The ''[[Batman: theThe Brave And The Bold (Animation)|Batman the Brave And The Bold]]'' episode "Joker: The Vile and The Villainous" has the Joker as the main character, and told about his team-up with another supervillain to fight Batman. Hence, the opening animation was changed to be about the Joker doing things that Batman usually does in the opening, and the short stinger before the opening credits was about Joker helping another supervillain instead of Batman helping a superhero.
