The Butler who is more than just a Butler: a concept seen before but handled with great success in this series which ran for six years. What's more, the opening theme stayed the same through the entire run, though the visuals changed from time to time. 'According to Our New Arrival' was written by Judy Hart-Angelo and Gary Portnoy for a different project (that eventually became 'Marblehead Manor', see our post on the 'checkerboard sitcoms). The distinctive treatment by legendary ragtime singer Leon Redbone rendered the theme too good to tinker with. Watch three opens and two end credits, and you just might live the good life yet.
