'The Walking Dead' Opening Credits: Recut to the 'Growing Pains' Theme Song

The internet has a long history of mixing up different video and audio clips for parody.  My all-time favorite is probably the re-cut trailer for 'The Shining' set to Peter Gabriel's "Solsbury Hill", and played as a romantic comedy.


Anyway, MovieWeb has decided to do the same thing with 'The Walking Dead'.  This time the opening credit sequence has been set to the theme song from 'Growing Pains', and shot in a way to make the show seem like a family program.  


The whole thing has a perfectly late 80's/ early 90's vibe, right down to the typeface and the starwipe title at the end.  And I love the guest stars they list.  And while this is a funny take on them, my favorite opening credits version of the show remains the animated fan-made version.  

The parody almost makes up for this crushing moment from the end of season 1:
