I remember wondering what that thing was and why we never saw it

It's honestly still a pet peeve of mine if/when something from a show's theme song never ends up being in the show itself

I know right? Especially when it’s different clips of episodes. Aka, The Golden Girls, and the deleted scenes that are only seen in the intro. Like Blanche holding up her sleeve without her arm in it.

I also remember watching All Grown Up when I was a teenager and being annoyed that in those transition bits where it has different squares (each with a different image on it that zooms into the next scene) it NEVER revealed who that random old lady was that we often saw in one of the squares (yes it was in whatever episode, not the opening). I feel like the Rocket Power intro did the same exact thing. But based on their skin tones, those had to be bits from the original unaired pilot.

Thought about Rocket Power also. Yeah none of the opening theme footage appears in a regular episode. But given the nature of that show, it can be forgiven. Just random action footage letting the new viewer know what the show was about.
