  • Cold Open
rdfs:comment
  • Each episode of The Muppet Show in seasons 2 - 4 would begin with Scooter knocking on the Guest Star's Dressing Room door, calling the star's name, and announcing the number of seconds remaining until curtain time. Scooter's appearance was then followed by a short quip or visual gag involving the guest star. In season 5, the cold open was changed to show the guest star entering the theater and talking briefly to Pops.
  • A Cold Open is a type of teaser that plays before the main title sequence. Early episodes of The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman opened "cold," meaning they started their broadcast with a scene designed to hook viewers right away and discourage them from channel switiching during the main title or commercial break. For part two of a two-part story, the cold open would be dropped in lieu of a recap. Later, both series would replace the cold open with a "clip" teaser which showed a quick series of highlights from the episode.
