The opening credits sequence of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidtis unlike any other you've seen on television before - and that's likely due in large part to the fact that it was produced by entertainers known on an entirely different platform. The sequence is designed in the form of a viral video remix, best known as "songifying," and perfected down to a...
As we've just explained, the viral sensations The Gregory Brothers are best known for putting their own spin on current events, whether serious political matters or hilarious pieces of viral content that become popular online for no apparent reason. So it makes sense, then, that the group would want to put their own spin on the very distinctly perf...
Using stock footage isn't unheard of in promotional materials. But when series use stock footage within their own introductory segments, it's bound to inevitably lead to some hilarious unintentional moments of crossover. Take, for example, the hilarious observation made by one keen-eyed Twitter user shortly after Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidtpremiered ...

Opening credit sequences can never be too long, because their purpose is to introduce the episode in a lively, exciting way before getting on with the main feature. That's why the over two minute long expanded version of the Kimmy Schmidttheme song wouldn't work to introduce each and every episode. But the expanded version is available for viewing ...
- IT WAS ORIGINALLY TITLED TOOKEN. Inspired by her two daughters—ages four and 10—Tina Fey originally intended for the series to be called Tooken. NBC, the original network behind the show, however, rejected the title.
- HAD THE TITLE STUCK, THE THEME SONG WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT. While fans of the series will undoubtedly recognize “Unbreakable! They alive, damnit! It’s a miracle!”
- WHEN THE TITLE CHANGED, SO DID THE SHOW’S DIRECTION. Veering away from the darker side of Kimmy’s past, Fey and Carlock decided to focus on Kimmy moving forward with her life.
- THERE WAS A FIFTH MOLE WOMAN. Another element removed from Tooken was the story of a fifth mole woman. In the early draft, an FBI agent named Clarisse finds herself as the fifth member of the bunker.
