What is your opinion on the opening credits? Personally, I dislike the applause and the announcer. I wish they'd get rid of those and just focus on the theme song.

I say ditch both, I liked it better when they just ran the song and showed the pictures and names. Its a little too show-bizy with the announcer and applause.

...I've hated that damn announcer ever since he was added to the theme song.

I voted for Ditch Both. I can read names and as for the applause, there's definitely favoritism for certain cast members and sometimes it over-powers the theme song.

Ditch them both. It's really annoying and you can't hear the theme song. Whose dumb idea was it to put an announcer in anyway?

The applause would be weird without the announcer but i say ditch both, the theme song by itself is good enough

Keep 'em both. We should all know what the theme song sounds like.

I voted ditch both. The theme song is just about the only thing that's stayed the same from the original season.

I remember that discussion, I still should go back and see if Mark was right about announcing it.

I said ditch both, but Id at least like the applause to be ditched. The audience plays favorites, like in season 8, when michael got the most applause,but debra, whos had been on the show 8 years,didnt really get alot
