Opening Titles
In the first season, the title of the episode appears following the title of the show, but starting in season two, the title appears as the theme song starts, directly before the credits roll. Episode titles are mostly a sentence describing the plot and incorporating one or more of the main characters' name or their collective appellation of "The Gang", such as "The Gang Gets Whacked" and "The Gang Goes Jihad." The title of many episodes are presented as an ironic punchline tying in with the gag in the cold open. For example, in one cold open, Sweet Dee states "there is no way I'm dating a retarded person."; almost immediately, the title card appears, which reads "Sweet Dee's Dating A Retarded Person". In another, Dennis and Dee insist "we'll be just fine" after quitting their jobs at the bar; the title of the episode is "Dennis and Dee Go on Welfare".

Famous quotes containing the words opening and/or titles:
“Haven’t you heard, though,
About the ships where war has found them out
At sea, about the towns where war has come
Through opening clouds at night with droning speed
Further o’erhead than all but stars and angels
And children in the ships and in the towns?”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“I have known a German Prince with more titles than subjects, and a Spanish nobleman with more names than shirts.”
—Oliver Goldsmith (1728–1774)
