* ''WesternAnimation/FiremanSam'':
** The 1987 intro features Sam driving Jupiter around Pontypandy, greeting the villagers before getting to work, in the series 5 intro
** The 2005 intro starts with Sam getting into gear and driving Jupiter by Dilys' shop and Bella's cafe.
** The 2008 intro, like the 2005, starts with Sam gearing up and taking off in Jupiter, except here he's accompanied by Elvis and Radar, and the driving takes up much less time.
** The 2015 intro is a recreation of the 2008 intro with the improved animation style and new fire station, in which Sam and Elvis take off in Jupiter, while Penny and Arnold race to Venus behind them.

* ''{{Series/Emergency}}'' had its regular opening showing squad 51 speeding to a call with lights and sirens - before cutting to the opening credits. The syndication opening takes it up a few notches, by having both squad and engine 51 rolling out of the station to the tune of the station ringdown - but again, sort of averts it by having an epilepsy light show of rotolights with the title superimposed.
