"Step By Step" Season 1 Closing Credits

[span203fall2011]

Should return to TV soon.

[KRnumba9]

they van pool in cody's van

[Chepito2846]

this reminds me of family matters closing credits.the music ends for both sounds similar.

[StonePro85]

@Chepito2846

Both themes were produced by the same composers that's why.

[cinnamondouche]

Its funny that the CG Ocean doesn't extend outside the action-safe area (which isn't normally visible on conventional TV) on the left.

[kbirdusa]

Those voiceovers at the end, announcing the producers and distributors, were only added for syndication (there was no distributor for its original network airing).

[Motorcyclephil]

I don't know why they felt the need to add the fake water. If it was real, that roller coaster would be wiped out at high tide.

[Andymmb]

@Motorcyclephil 2 reasons for the fake water.

1. The show took place in Wisconsin but was filmed in California. I think producers wanted it to look like the family was at the Six Flags in Milwaukee which is on the shore of Lake Michigan. It was easier to film the opening sequence in California with a fake Lake Michigan instead of flying the entire cast to Wisconsin.

2. The fake water looks more appealing for an aerial sunset zoom out camera shot instead of focusing on a parking lot.

Six Flags has a Seaside Version of itself

[ctyler1995]

Step By Step is produced by Bickley-Warren Productions with Miller-Boyett Productions and association with Lorimar Television and is distributed by Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution.

[megamanj2004X]

@ctyler1995 if there was a v/o in the local syndie closing credits, wouldn't the 1994 WBTV jingle play right after the Lorimar logo fades out w/ Duffy's v/o?

[megamanj2004X]

And I also noticed w/ other WBTV shows that were in syndication/cable or went in syndie reruns in the mid-'90s was that the shows that did have the v/o such as Babylon 5 (at least in its early 1st-season eps.) used a v/o with no WBTV jingle. But on others such as Kung Fu: The Legend Continues they used a combo of both a v/o without the WBTV jingle (early seasons only) or v/o + WBTV jingle, with the latter playing after the v/o finishes.

Did Step by Step in local reruns followed KF:TLC's method?

[VaultMasterDBT]

Bickley/Warren never would have been mentioned in the voiceover spiels. They were associates of Miller/Boyett (just like Griffard/Adler with M/B's Going Places and Two of a Kind), so they weren't considered the principal backers of the program. With Step By Step's first season (at least) in syndication, Patrick Duffy started the spiel from mention of 'Miller/Boyett' onward.

@ctyler1995 Say that five times fast.

[stndrds79]

dont ask me why but I especially like music starting at :31 till ending. i love that part.

[johnnytheball87]

@stndrds79 lol no need to ask...i understand completely. reminds me of so many good tgif memories.

[stndrds79]

@johnnytheball87 but that ending tune is really cool because you really dont hear a tune like that..its kinda rare..

[daamits]

Step by Step was produced by Wind Dancer Production Group, Michael Jacobs Productions and Touchstone Television, distributed by Buena Vista Television.

[Motorcyclephil]

Anybody know where that amusement park is located, and what the name of it is?

[stevecovington]

@Motorcyclephil it's Six Flags Magic Mountain in valencia, ca. In reality, there is parking lot where the water is.

[Motorcyclephil]

@stevecovington Funny how they tried to make it look like its in Wisconsin. That threw me off.

[domirules28]

@stevecovington: yep that's the famous collosseus roller coaster in the opening and closing scenes...

[Galvan316]

@Motorcyclephil Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, CA...

[Motorcyclephil]

That water is fake. If that was real, the waves would have washed that roller coaster away.

[stevecovington]

notice that the ending of this sounds almost exactly like the ending to the Family Matters credits.

[LaDracul]

@stevecovington Well, it is the same production company. Though you can tell that lakefront is so fake...

[patricknedz]

they have got to put this show on DVD and not just 6 episodes, but each season

[springert19]

Weekdays on ABC Family @ 9am Eastern Time---holidays permitting especially Christmas.

[livinlarge18]

No ABC Family omits holiday episode and saves them for holidays

[num1Jaysta]

I FINALLY get to see the ending credits!

[chrispleasantable]

I love the guitar, the drums, and the saxaphone on this song. It's so cool!. And I say "Step by Step is produced by Bickley-Warren Productions with Miller-Boyett Productions, in association with Lorimar Television" starting 0:29

[PreviewsChannel]

don't forget to add the distributor

[chrispleasantable]

Oh Yeah, you're right "And is distributed by Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution."

[johnnytheball87]

god, this brings back a lot of friday night memories from the 90s...

[tnawcwvictoria]

Well here's something:

In the year 2000 Angela Watson started Child Actors Supporting Themselves (CAST), an organization to help child actors and athletes handle their finances. She was motivated to do this after discovering that her parents spent all of her earnings from her years on Step by Step.

and also, Cody is still active, but hey, he'll pop up on TV again someday.

[sidprogrammer]

it's sad that nearly all the actors retired after this show. JT is gone, karen is gone, brendan just disappeared, cody is gone. Dana, Al, Frank and Carol are the only ones left acting.

[kefkaroth]

u forgot mark,rich and i miss sam she was a hot little tomboy :)

[gm1990ss]

no wonder why i got a stiff at the age of 5.

[livinlarge18]

and Rich he's still acting

[livinlarge18]

Man I loved when this show had high TV ratings its higest was TV-PG DS (Indecent Proposal babypuddycat has it uploaded)

[sidprogrammer]

this was a good show until cody left and all the actors, actresses got old.

Step By Step Closing Credits Season 1 Scenes 2-7

[livinlarge18]

Can you upload the syndicaed theme song for Season 1 since I need a High Quality mp3 track

[livinlarge18]

I had this theme stuck in my head all day

[livinlarge18]

I might make my own using stills from the Pilot episode

[livinlarge18]

and hearing the refrain of the music on Warner Bros. Doemstic Pay TV Cable & Network Features logo after the last frame of the show

[livinlarge18]

They should have used the WBTV 2003 logo after Lorimar

[megamanj2004X]

or on local syndie reruns of this show, they would have the smaller 1994 WBTV Domestic TV Distribution logo after Lorimar.

And when I last saw it locally, didn't this show, too have a voice-over at the end of the closing credits? When I last saw Step by Step locally, for some reason I never heard a voice-over (if they did indeed have one).

[livinlarge18]

THX!

[livinlarge18]

I'm making a recreation of ABC Family's closing log thanks to you JohnnyL80 but I'm using the 2003 logo
