Why do cartoons and other American shows never change openings?

Oh god, I LOOOOOOVED THE GUMMI BEARS! I still eat them to this day.

Tonight, Tonight, Tonight from Bleach is teh best opening music in the history of opening music. Except that it was running during the terrible "Bounto" filler arch. But it can't compete with the battle theme: "Got to be the center. . .OF ATTRACTION!" and Jazz Hands!

No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful.

The opening of Veronica Mars season 3 used the same song of the two previous seasons but it was a remixed version.

South Park springs to mind.

It's had like 5 different openings.

Kimi wa ne tashika ni ano toki watashi no soba ni ita

Itsudatte itsudatte itsudatte

From the second season on, Weeds had a new rendition of "Little Boxes" for EVERY episode.

What does qualify for changing the opening in your opinion? Does it have to be more than a longer or slightly altered version?

EDIT: Oh, you are talking about songs here.

Not just the song...scenes too.

They change the scenes... where applicable. If a character dies, stuff like that. Otherwise... why bother?

Hey I like casual shows too. But they aren't the best. Shows like that don't need openings (many don't even have them).

Also whenever I see stuff like cartoons and kids shows and such around I never see an opening change. Of course some of you guys haven't seen what I'm talking about and seen other shows that I haven't...but I find that Japanese shows change their openings way more often. I think zexen makes a good point though about the singles thing.

That's totally the problem WITH Japanese shows though Soriku.

9 times out of 10, the original theme kicks ass... then the theme they replace it with is just ok.
