hey guys, im working on my own version for my wedding. What fonts did you use for the intro text?

[TheBaggyPants]

@tomkarels "Baskerville Bold" for all the credits. Cory made the title card tracing the original in photoshop.

[tomkarels]

@TheBaggyPants Sweet! Thanks! I have been looking everywhere for the title fonts. Found the "Strangers"

I think I might just draw out the "Perfect" like you guys did

[TheBaggyPants]

@tomkarels no problem! Let us know if you post it online, I'd love to see it!

everything that's good and pure about YouTube is summed up in this clip.

Watching something like this makes me happy about the world I live in.

[vader142]

Wow guys, this was AWESOME. You guys did the best remake of the opening I've ever seen!

[Serires3]

Good video, couldn't you remake the first episode?

[Phuriscrane]

ROLF!!! wow great job guys!!!! they don't make shows like this anymore : ( all they have now is crap.

[crzypvt]

I would watch it.

Great production value with the intro.

[Billinois78]

Dude that is awesome! I am even willing to let it slide that I had to see my Cubs replaced by Mariners. ;)

I was laughing so hard at the jogging part at 0:22 and the Mark Lynn-Baker newspaper scene was dead-on with the movements, including the shake at the end. Thanks for all the great effort!

[breakwellpicturez]

Very nice! Looks like a lot of thought and hard work went into this! I used to live in Seattle and don't think I could have found half of those locations!

[onikuno]

Some people talk about doing stuff like this. I'm glad there are people who have the passion and creativity to do it. This gave me a big smile.

[tomkarels]

@TheBaggyPants finished the video, for some reason it wont let me post a link. If you go to maddyandtomdotcom I have it posted there.

Getting some good traction on the site, not so many people voting on Crateandbarrell, if you guys can support Larry and Balki we would truly appreciate it! :)

Thanks again for all your help

Tom
