I think this one is salvageable with some work

As far as I can tell, this page has three issues as of this post:

  1. The description is sparse to the point of being laconic;
  2. There are fewer than a dozen examples; and
  3. The examples that are listed - other than "Ranma ½", "Everybody Loves Raymond", and "Monday Night Raw" - need context.

Who has time to work on the page?

Sorry, can't think of any examples.

The lyrics do say "we're going to pay a call on" and there is a short part with Thing making a "come here" gesture. Not sure if it qualifies though.

Showing how sparse the description is, I'm not sure whether the opening to the 1960s-era version of The Addams Family qualifies. Here's the opening on YouTube.

Opinions pro or con, please?

It's been 18 days with no reply.

Does anybody care about this trope, or should we just get rid of it?

I'm not sure how I missed this discussion, but the Addams Family credits clearly do not fit the trope description, which explicitly describes the credits as showing a character or characters walking around their neighborhood.

As for keeping or not... well, only nine pages aside from the category link to it. It's clearly a thing, but not a common enough thing to really merit a bigger description unless we broaden it.

Sorry, got nothing for this one.

I just added a few examples. Can keep adding more as I think of them.

Destubbing the page. The description is brief, but I don't think we can really expand it without obvious filler. And we have more than enough examples.
