Last episode to feature the original version of the theme song, as sung by Dennis Tufano and Mindy Sterling, though the earlier syndicated prints of the Season 1 episodes have pasted over the opening credits, the abridged version of the theme song, as sung by them, even when you see the names of their replacements in the closing credits, Johnny Mathis and Deniece Williams.
