  Opening credits - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Opening credits, in a television program or motion picture, are shown at the beginning of a show and list the most important members of the production.
Opening credits usually mention the major actors, guest stars, producers and director, as opposed to closing credits which lists the entire production crew.
In television, the opening credits may be preceded by a short teaser or pre-credits sequence that helps to set the stage for the episode.
