I love this overstuffed title sequence. I can't even pick a favorite part. The Growing Pains-style baby photo montage of Astaire and Kelly? The scroll of names getting lit on fire? The falling dominoes spelling out "LASSIE"? (What ever happened to that effect? I feel like I used to see dominoes all the time and never do anymore.) The giant gong? Part I may have awesome stuff like the decrepit MGM lot and glorious co-hosts implying that life under contract at MGM in "the good old days" was a personal hell, the specifics of which they can't quite articulate, but Part II definitely wins in the opening credits department.
