** 6.18 'Frontierland' copied the burning map credits from ''{{Bonanza}}''

** "Bullocks to Stan", "Stan of Arabia" and "Haylias", "Tearjerker" and "100 A.D.", "Hot Water", "Hurricane!" and "For Black Eyes Only" don't have the standard opening.

** "A Pinata Named Desire", "Blood Crieth Unto Heaven" and "Lost in Space" have the opening shortened.

* The ''SouthPark'' episode "Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers" has the standard opening replaced by a gloomier version starring the Goth Kids.

* ''NoelsHouseParty'', a production by TheBBC featuring NoelEdmonds, did this '''twice'''. First of all, on the 15 March 1997 for the VerySpecialEpisode ''Noel's New York House Party'' - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqS8piirvTE video here]], with the crescendo of the music featuring a view of the [[BigApplesauce Statue of Liberty]], and, [[BizarroEpisode more bizarrely]], the guests' names on-screen - TyneDaly, WilliamShatner, Creator/DavidHasselhoff, Creator/JoanRivers and BarryManilow. The words "New York" were in [[IncrediblyLamePun "Broadway" font]], a font considered naff by some nowadays.
** The second time they did an OutsideBroadcast was from UniversalStudios in 1998, and the episode was called ''Noel's House Party At The Movies'', with similar titles, an episode which is considered FanonDiscontinuity, if not CanonDiscontinuity. However, WordOfGod is that the man himself would have preferred to have stayed in the UK to develop fresh ideas - mentioned on Website/YouTube.

* The "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZSFvntwgEQ Pinky and the Brain and Larry]]" episode of ''PinkyAndTheBrain'' opened with Rob Paulsen squeezing in "And Larry" or similar after every line of the theme song, as in "One is a genius; the other's insane" "(The other one's Larry!)"

* ''Series/KamenRiderDecade'', being also a Toei production like ''PrettyCure'', also promoted its movies by replacing part of its opening sequences with scenes from the ''{{Kamen Rider Den-O}}'' film ''The Onigashima Battleship'' for the second part of the Den-O arc and the entirety of the [[Series/KamenRiderKabuto Kabuto]] arc, and with scenes from ''All Riders vs. Great Shocker'', lasting from the [[Series/KamenRiderBlackRX Black RX]] arc to the penultimate episode (That makes '''five''' episodes up until the final one, making that one a borderline EvolvingCredits as well.). Considering that its GrandFinale is in the form of [[TheResolutionWillNotBeTelevised a movie]] premiering three months after the series ends proper, this leaves it up to...

** ...''KamenRiderDouble'' to promote ''that'' (and its own movie. Yes, it's a double feature [[spoiler: that eventually converges into a crossover]].) in the same way, starting with episode 12. Near the end of the series, the opening changed again to promote Double's second movie.

* The ''FishHooks'' episode "Pool Party Panic" features a special opening depicting the characters as humans.

Instead, we see Captain America's shield fly across the screen, cutting to the ''New'' Avengers posing together.

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' uses a Japanese version of its theme songs as cue for its especially bizarre {{filler}} episodes. In Episode 24, "Fractured", the opening sequence is sung in Japanese by Larry, the tiny version of Robin from another dimension, and features Larry in the sequence. Later, in ADayInTheLimelight episode for the Hive 5, Jinx interrupts the song to tag the screen with a honeycomb and say, "We're the Hive 5, and this is our show now!"

* The ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' episode "[[RuleSixtyThree Fionna and Cake]]" had every character who appears in the opening replaced by their gender-swapped counterpart. Even the singer of the theme song was changed from a male to a female.
