I just loved this theme, both the open and the close. I really miss the days of closing credit rolls. I don't think TV, and especially the soaps, will ever be as good as they were in the past. What a great cast GL had back in 1993!

The nostalgia brings tears to my eyes. My mom even taped this show so we could watch it after work/school. The ending credits always made me sad because an hour just wasn't enough time to visit Springfield each day and I hated the weekends, lol I loved this theme so much I taught myself to play it by ear on my keyboard as a teen. My mom passed in 2005, before the show got really bad thankfully, but I'll always have the feelings and memories

The real credits alternated between a yellow-gold colored font and white font (crew title in yellow gold color and person's name in white; character name in yellow-gold color and actor's real name in white)...Also at the start of the credit scroll as the title faded out the first credit would fade in at the center of the screen and scroll halfway up...In this scroll, the first credit scrolls from the bottom...However this is a good recreation.
