Splitting this page[edit]

This page refers to two different things - the TV show and a book - shouldn't it be split and a disambiguation page added? (I'm new here, not sure what the best practice is for this) --bbuda

Plot exposition[edit]

"This scene was repeated each week as the theme song by Dominic Frontiere, which told the background story, and the opening credits, were played. New viewers could easily be brought in on what had been going on, a very common device at the time used in many other programs as well."

Sounds like a great idea, so why did the networks stop using it?

I suspect because Gilligan's Island did the same and was endlessly sent up for it. WHPratt (talk) 07:39, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of later shows did do it, sometimes with descriptive theme songs and sometimes with voiceovers. Off the top of my head: The Odd Couple, Quantum Leap, The Incredible Hulk, Sliders, The Nanny, Castle (for the first couple of seasons), Scorpion, The Flash, Person of Interest, to name a few.

psych did it as well. The lyrics make it clear that Shawn is no psychic. WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 15:05, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

*In color[edit]

Apparently, there are supposed to be asterisks marking season 1 episodes that are in color, but there are none. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.127.128.62 (talk) 19:24, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Arthur Digby Sellers[edit]

He deserves his own section, he's not exactly a lightweight. He did write the bulk of the series, after all. Just ignore the fact that his son is a fucking dunce who's flunking social studies.

Above reference is to the apocryphal contributor of 156 episode scripts for the show attributed to him by the character Walter Sobchak in the Coen Brothers motion picture The Big Lebowski. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.41.117.182 (talk) 04:36, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Stranded[edit]

Oh, come on! Every baby boomer knows the schoolyard verses to "Stranded" (without a toilet paper roll) better than the original show. No mention?

The series debunked[edit]

In the second episode, we find that McCord was badly injured enough (on the Bitter Creek battle field) to be in a coma for ten days, as in unconscious, which meant the army had to take care of him. How could an unconscious man be accused of desertion? (90.164.50.80 (talk) 19:26, 12 August 2021 (UTC))[reply]

Branded Alternate Intro[edit]

As a nine year old Branded fan, I recall seeing Chuck Conners on TV talk show at the time. During the interview, an alternate intro was shown. The sword does not break over the officer’s knee, and in frustration, he pokes Chuck in the butt. Naturally, everyone in the studio laughed. It must have been a gag take that was done while filming the intro. I cannot find any mention of this anywhere, and wonder if anyone else recalls this. 2603:7000:D240:9830:8D3F:7D23:1FA:AEBB (talk) 22:19, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
