Did they make any changes in seasons 3 or 4 opening ??
I really prefer season 1 !!

The Season One opening featured Kimble & Gerard on the train, then the train wreck, and Kimble emerging from the creek leading to the opening credits. There were two versions of that opening, one longer than the other. The long opening starts with William Conrad saying "Name...", whereas the shortened on starts with an extra word, "The name..."
Season Two was where they began to use the still screenshots to tell the story, lifting the one-armed man stuff from "The Girl From Little Egypt" and the running through the alley scenes from Kimble's dreams in "Nightmare At Northoak".
They kept that opening for Season Three, and even Four, but in Four, they had to color the black & white photos. Each still had its own color scheme. Somewhere back in this thread or another, I posted my own recreation of those colorized screens.
Seasons One through Three all used the "tilting" device on the credits, as if each were a card, tilting in and out of the frame, over top of the picture.
Season Four in color came up with the "pixelated-rip" device where the credits would peel from the upper left to the lower right, so it wasn't exactly the same as the old, but the opening screen shots were the same.
