Question of the Day, Detox, Sports Medicine

Good morning my doowerlinks!

Momentarily, I will be off to go watch Detox and Sports Medicine with Best Friend. She has to work for the next two weeks so I won't be able to rely on her cunning and clever wit.

If I' m very good, I might even get her to continue on and watch Cursed.

Since last night's episode, "Daddy's Boy" was so frelling good, she's probably in just the right mood to marathon House.

Er.

So to speak.

Why am I blushing?

Ahem. Permit me to regain my composure.

ANYway, the question today is "When you see the ending credits in "Fidelity" are those real GH credits? Can you tell what year?"

No, those credits were not real. They were bogus. However, there is a way to tell what year is airing by looking at the credits. Mainly the opening splash and shot of the hospital.

The splash page is a running opening credit that airs everytime the show airs. The format is usually "teaser, splash, act one, act two, long commerical break, act three, act four, tag". Sometimes they toss it up but not too often.

The "splash" comes between the teaster and act one. Each main cast member...depending on importance of character or ego of actor....is shown in flashy shots with flashy theme music.

Here is an example of being able to figure out what year the show was aired by looking at the splash: http://soapzone.com/gh/history/

I've posted that link before but a little overkill never hurt anyone.

(I dunno if "splash" is necessarily the business' term of art for that sequence but it's what BF and I call it.)

Remember you can always go to www.imdb.com and look up the whole show.
