I recall them being played in the show's very first episode, and they probably used the full tune a few more times during the first season. But it was cut back to the one most viewers recall very early in the show's run. EDIT: Here's the theme tune for season 1 with lyrics, and then for S2, the lyrics that were used for the remainder of the show's run: www.lyricsondemand.com/tvthemes/marytylermooreshowlyrics.htmlI love the theme song and the images they play with it. It touches my heart when she does that smile and tosses her hat in the air. And my mom always gave an "Awwww" when they showed that kitten at the end in the MTM productions logo. LOL, I've wondered whose kitten that was. Clever gag. When I would watch the opening sequence of the earliest eps, I imagined Mary as Laura Petrie, finally deciding to 'find herself' and split from Rob. The only problem was that I couldn't picture Rob as being a threat, so I could never think of a convincing reason for why she'd change her name and take off cross-country that way .

OK lemee help with some ideas but be warned. They may be dark but it is all in good fun! He was gay. A cross dresser in a secret night life. Richie is not really theirs. They kidnapped him. When Laura was returning from shopping, she saw all the cops surrounding the house and just kept on driving. Rob is a serial killer. Laura came home early and found Rob, Buddy and Sally having a three some in their bedroom. During the 60's height of the VietNam protests Rob and Laura blew up a military draft induction center that was going to take Ritchie. They had to separate and go on the run. Which is why you see Laura aka Mary ducking the camera in the opening credits and why she never went in front of it on the show. Rob and Ritchie decided to run away and become hippies and join a commune. They could never agree on rooting for the same sports teams. Rob ran away to England. Met another Mary. And became a chimney sweep with a very odd accent that no one can understand. And now for your final choice: Rob became a republican!

That one covers most of the bases, and it's now going to be in my head every time I watch that opening!
