Why is the NBC DOG in colour here? I always thought it was transparent or slightly grey.

It starts in colour and then fades out to grey once the show starts. FOX's does the same. Think ABC's is grey throughout.

Yeah... In the pre-show and for the rest of the show, the bug was translucent. It was only during the titles that the bug was colored.

Oh, and NBC's got a new ECP (I don't know when they started using them)... I liked the old one(s) better though.

I saw the new ECP at the end of an edition of Leno the other night and frankly it has it's up's and down's, now I like the idea that the ECP is no longer curved and that it is now straight looks better, but I don't like the choice of colour, I can't remember exactly but I think they have dropped the peacock from most of the ECP.

OT; As there are people who do watch NBC in the US here, can anyone tell me how good Conan O'Brien's Tenth Anniversary show went or just how funny it was, I was hoping CNBC over here would show it, but it looks like they haven't, even though they did with Leno's last year.

(Bring back NBC Europe!)

Plus these titles seem to have far more movement in them than the others.


how do you mean more movement?

I mean that there is alor more physical movement compared to the other titles, these ones seem to be faster in a way and are alot more paced then those of the previous seires'.

I wouldn't say there's much difference. They've picked slightly more 'actionful' (to coin a new word) shots in the pre-names section of the titles. The rest of it is put together the same way that every other Friends title sequence has been, and still with randomly inserted shots of the original 1994 fountain sequence with the actors looking nothing like they do now.
