Man, why oh why didn't Aretha have this track on any of her C.D.'s? My mom and I love hearing this tune and we still sing it to this day. Though I like this version, she likes the shorter one where Aretha harmonizes at the end of the tune.
I remember this season 1 intro, because Charles Hallahan (better known as Capt. Devanne on TV's "Hunter" from 1986-91) was Grace Kelly's (Brett Butler) boss in the 1st season. Then when he was axed, John Shirley (Paul Dooley) became her new boss w/ the 2nd season.
It was used for seasons one, two and three. Season four got a new opening which was also used for the syndicated episodes btwn seasons one and three. Also take note of Nadine's hair in the opening with the rock music, Libby's look is a few years older and Patrick is a toddler instead of a baby.
Correct, Aretha Franklin. I personally like this open better than current. Wonder why the change. The odd thing is, the music that is used to bump into and out of breaks and between scenes still use this melody.
I could kiss the person that found this opening and posted it. Thank You. It has been lost in syndication land. We now get season four's opening for seasons 1,2 & 3.
They should rerun it people can still relate to it

Dave Thomas was the whole reason to watch this show. His character was hilarious. :D
I like the second opening better, though.

i was just watching it online.
did they change it in older episodes now then?
it was from a tv recording, and it was definitely season 1, because it was where she met that pharmacist guy.

This song is a thousand times better when Aretha sings it! God, I wish they had released a c.d. track for this!

Probably because with the theme change they didn't have to pay royalties for use of the song.

The opener that replaced this one did not look good. I think that led to the show's cancellation.

Brett Butler falling off the wagon is what lead to the cancellation.

I think you're right. I did NOT like that sequence. It was terrible!
