Massive changes in opening credits?

We’ve been watching Quantum Leap on DVD. The title theme was changed for the 5th season, and I hate it. It’s a new arrangement of the same tune, as if they decided to make it more exciting. But the whole series just went downhill that last season. We’re watching it anyway, but I’m not thrilled about it.

I liked the remixed theme. They changed it back for the finale, BTW.

Excuse me? If you are thinking of the episodes where they go straight from the title to an outside shot of the house, that was only for two episodes in the first season. However, the other 10 episodes (besides the Christmas special) that season had an opening that was a little different from the one in later seasons; when Bart rides by on his skateboard, rather than passing some of the regular characters, he grabs a bus stop sign, and then a bus goes by without stopping, with the people in line for the bus chasing it; also, Lisa is shown riding her bike more (and her sax is in what appears to be a banjo case).

They also redid it a few times, once in live action as a novelty (originally fan made, I believe), and for the HD switch over.
