Double, sorry.

I love, love, love that Dynasty intro.

I still can't get over the Dynasty one though. And that Doogie Howser intro is creepy as hell.

The Designing Women one has my vote. Not one of the poster's picks though.

Then enjoy some Barney Stinson instead.

Damn you, site search.

Doogie Howser's conceit of corny, inane outros featuring Doogie typing today's lessons learned at the computer is an underappreciated influence on Sex and the City.

Yeah the Dynasty is the best of the bunch. The absurdity sneaks up on you before going overboard.

It may be a double, but the Doogie Howser one still gets me right there ...

Is there something wrong with me that I'm not getting the Doogie Howser thing?

Otherwise, these are great.

Yes, I hadn't seen the Dynasty one before and at first I was like, "huh...Susan Dey was on Dynasty?...wait, Sam Elliot?" then I started laughing.
But then it got dumb and nerdy at the end.
