What if Firefly had a 80's style opening credits sequence?

    I just broke down and started watching Firefly on Netflix, after many of my friends raved about it. They were right. It is an awesome TV show.

    I think these guys might be on to something. Those credits were awsome! Just like some of my favorite shows:

    Automan

    Manimal

    and, of course,the totally rad Misfits of Science.

    Ha, no one under 30-35 is going to get the Dallas/SW opening.

    I used to LOVE watching Automan. That was some high tech SFX for TV back then.

    That is so awesome. And very period-accurate. Here's "Trapper John M.D." for comparison.

    Liked it. I've never seen 1 second of those guys, and yeah those themes are plenty gimmicky to make me want to check them out.

    Not into the "decades" thing that much but seems the past few identifiable decades are the 1920's, the 50's, and the 80's. On that trend will the 2010's be next in being epic for hopefully good reasons?
