People complained that we left Simon Tam out of our 1980s-style Firefly opening credits. You failed to realize: That was Firefly's second-season intro. By then, Sean Maher had cashed in on his unbelievable popularity, with a spin-off. Check it out.

Here is the intro to that show which, as we all remember, lasted even longer than the TV institution that was Firefly. I still have a tough time imagining Friday nights on Fox without the handsome jawline of Dr. Simon Tam delivering diagnosis. Man, could that guy carry a show!

Too much like cheesy 80's shows like Streethawk or Automan.




Wow, someone who actually remembers those shows!
Admittedly, I watched them both...eagerly.

Hi. My name is John, and I'm a cheesy 80's tv show addict.


BWAH!

The 'Firefly' sequence was a few different kinds of awesome, totally 80's and totally Airwolf.

The Simon Tam MD had a very Trapper John MD feel to it...maybe it was how it was described with Sean leaving to cash in on his newfound celebrity.

Both are very funny and extremely well done, my hat is off to the producers.

Those 80's Firefly credits? Saw 'em before. They were awkward. Some person mentioned it looked like The "A" Team credits? Nah, nah. Not feeling that...not feeling that. I feel they reminded me of a combination of Airwolf (based on the fonts they used and the music) and Miami Vice. In any event they were awkward to watch indeed. Out!
