Not quite what you were looking for probably, but The Middle.

That looks like an old ad rather than part of the show. My wife likes that show and the opening simply shows the title in an all lowercase typeface that looks like Courier. No theme music or anything and it doesn't show the cast. Plus the three kids all look a lot older than that now.
"You know, you never have a guaranteed spot until you have a spot guaranteed."
—Olaf Kolzig, as quoted in the Washington Times on March 28, 2003,
commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"
—Kolzig, to the same reporter a few seconds later.

I'm betting Simon & Simon had an I-5 BGS in its opening.  Too lazy to check, but I believe there's a 50/50 chance that I'm right. :D

I can confirm what you said, 1995hoo. The artwork was just something designed by ABC promotions.

I'm a huge fan of the show for 3 reasons: it's really funny, it's set in Indiana, and my niece is co-creator/producer. There is no theme song, but the sound of a crow cawing and two musical notes are heard over the brief opening of a generic corn-soybean-lined rural road. It's very Hoosier-looking.


On second thought, the thing that's missing are the ditches on either side of the road. In Indiana, you have to have ditches.
