“The Simpsons' opening
sequence is one of the show's most memorable hallmarks. Most episodes open
with the camera zooming through the show's title towards the town of Springfield.
The camera then follows the members of the family on their way home. Upon
entering their house, the Simpsons settle down on their couch to watch
television. The opening was created by David Silverman, the first task he did
when production began on the show. The series' distinctive theme song was composed
by musician Danny Elfman in 1989, after Groening approached him requesting a
retro style piece. This piece has been noted by Elfman as the most popular of
his career. One of the most distinctive aspects of the opening is that three of
the segments change from episode to episode: Bart writes different things on
the school chalkboard, Lisa plays different solos on her saxophone, and
different gags accompany the family as they enter their living room to sit on
the couch.” – from Wikipedia
In that case,
this is as distinct as it gets.
