But the past few episodes actually DOUBLED the length of the credit sequence from 21 seconds to 42 seconds, adding some additional scenes and a few verses to the song.

Oh yeah, it’s crazy. I’ve been meaning to do a piece on the change, as I believe Tom Selleck played a role in its changing.

The “classic” one is just so iconic! And you’re not wrong about the modern show’s being just too truncated. Yowch!

Looks like they DID shorten it as the series went on, Matthew. I’ve updated the piece accordingly!

I know this one was for the pilot. I thought the series opening was closer to a minute.
