A couple of interest observations here: 1. I did not know until only a few days ago Dionne Warwick sang the theme to this series in the last season. 2. I did not know Teri Hatcher was featured in the intro with her mermaid co-stars in this series. 3. This intro features stars from three of my other favourite series (Golden Girls, Mary Tyler Moore, and Desperate Housewives) and one of my favourite singers. Quite an interesting intro here.

The original opening sequence and theme song she better IMO. Sure, there are changes but this major overhaul just didn't age well. DW sings beautifully but the mix is hard to listen to, those waves are so 80s, and the green screening is obvious when we see certain actors and their background scenes.

@@PredatorKingdomYeah, all The Mermaids were cuties, but this was 1985, so Teri Hatcher was 20 going on 21 at the time, so she stood out due to her later 1990s Lois Lane and 2000s "Desperate Housewives" notoriety. The Mermaids and the Dionne Warwick version of the series theme helped make more contemporary the series and update it for the mid-1980s.

In fact, Betty invented that quick, over-the-shoulder turn toward the camera during her earliest days on television. It went on to become a famous reveal technique in both film and on TV.
