The Hallo Spencer Show opening titles

This is the frankly baffling title sequence for the Hallo Spencer Show. What connection do the two plasticine guys have with the rest of the programme? Why do they keep doing the same things over and over again? Why the hell are they worshipping a spinning office chair? No-one will ever know.

the original german intro is better! x)

[spiros81]

The german theme is so much better. They should have kept it, although it's shorter.

This goes to the video uploader: "Why the hell are they worshipping a spinning office chair". That's easy to explain. This office chair was Spencer's FIRST EVER chair used in the very early German episodes starting from the first one back in 1979. Later, this chair was no longer placed that centrally and more of the studio deco was visible. But the design was very sparse in the very first episodes, I remember. Mainly only Spencer's chair, a little bit of junk and Spencer himself.

Urgh. I couldn't do this music better with my pal's professional sound card. ;-) Sounds so "home studio". And plus, it's painfully slow compared to the German original that went in a driving rock'n roll groove.

I think I know the reason: it's the ERA. If the US version had come out in the 1980s as well, they'd still have used real musicians. But since music studios can do the same much cheaper, this is done by them (and all the "human touch" wiped out). Too bad.

I agree. Its hard to find english version of this show. I loved this as a kid.

@DarrenArrowNo5 I guess Saban had to call him "Hallo Spencer" because of the sign behind him in his office. Americans wouldn't understand why that sign was there. Same goes for some names.

Saban sure did mess up some foreign shows, including Thunderbirds (Fox Kids version). For one of the Super Sentai and Kamen Rider shows, Americans liked them because many have never seen tokusatsu before.

In Germany. Spencer ist not the surname, but First name. Hallo is German Word for Hello, not a first name.

Character names German/English ...Elmar/Elvis [Elmar is Elvis Twin Brother in german]. Grumpowsky/Nepomuk. The Screech Boys/Die <-(The) Quietschbeus.

Lulu, kasimir, poldi (Dragon/Drache), lexi (Bookworm/Bücherwurm). The Twins (Die Zwillinge). galaktika.

Spencerville is Spencerdorf.

To end a rap in the US Version is horrible ;-)
