What I mean is the font, the color palette, the multiplication of the name, and the music in the intro that which were typical of that era (or best represented the "stereotype" of its respected decade)?
"The Big Record" was a very good but unsuccessful pop music show from 1957-1958. Its opening titles featured a sort of fake-jazz opening title music and the visual of a record going around.
Around 1953, "The Guiding Light" opening intro had organ music and plugs for sponsors Duz (a laundry soap, not a detergent) and Ivory soap.
The "Music Hall" program of the early 1950s was a 15-minute pop music show with singer Patti Page and her semi-famous guest performers. The opening titles featured a mobile (obviously not the phone, but a kind of hanging decoration that was a common decoration at the time in "modern" homes), and a horn-lead orchestral theme (sounding a bit like a 1940s big band record), and a plug for the sponsor Lever Brothers, including their product Chlorodent, a toothpaste featuring chlorophyll, which was a big fad at the time.
Poof! There Goes Perspiration!
