are you saying that because you hate those shows? Where Everybody Knows Your Name and I'll Be There For You are CLASSICS.

Give the guy a break! It's his opinion!

I hate the "Friends" theme song too. And the "Good Times" visuals are cheap looking, imo.

[barwars]

Ive never heard of anyone not liking the Three's Company theme.... but to each his own.

Id have to say 7th Heaven.... it's not a sitcom, but the song still irritates me. Not to mention that the cast changes every other episode.

I've noticed that too. They really need to use the feature called "guest star" in their credits more.

[TV Observer 101]

.... and Family Ties.

[Stuck In The '70's]

Just about any sitcom from the 90's.:lol:

[James]

Two more:

Grace Under Fire (that didn't do the Beatles justice in that oh-so-nineties version of "Lady Madonna")

Growing Pains (after they got rid of B. J. Thomas' version)

I was never much of a fan of the Growing Pains theme either.

[factsoflife]

Married W/ Children- Bad Song and i though that the graphics were VERY lame.

and the Blossom song was kind of lame. and Mayim Bialik and her ugly butt dancing was just, um, STUPID.

[Brian Damage]

The Brady Bunch...it was like chewing tin foil or fingers scratching a blackboard.

[TJL]

Dharma And Greg. I hated the theme song almost as much as i hated that show.

;)

[hawaii five-o]

Gimme a Break's theme during the first two seasons was horrible. The second theme was way better.

[vze3t9q9]

I'm with you Mr Roper. None of the 90's shows themes were much. I tape many theme songs from the past decades. I don't have any from the 90's. Stagecoach West a show from the early 60's had a interesting opening and closing theme. This show starred a young Wayne Rogers. Many Warner Brothers shows from the late 50's to 60's had good opening themes. Maverick, Bronco, and Cheyenne to name a few.

[APPLEI]

"days and nights of molly dodd" maybe the worst theme in the history of television.
"the ropers"
"different strokes" the last seasons theme
"happy days" the last seasons theme
"family matters"
"step by step"
"glora" (the archie bunkers place spin off)

I thought the music only versions were ok, but the version with words was awful.

Growing Pains (after they got rid of B. J. Thomas' version) [/B]

I did not like the Growing Pains theme song after the first season. If you recall the first season the show theme was sung by B.J. Thomas alone and he wailed on that song. His duet with Dusty Springfield in the second season bites and then with the Accapella choir was horrible.

The other themes I did not like:
Family Ties
The syndicated version of theme of Cheers - Where Everybody Knows Your Name. I love the entire version
Friends
Eight Is Enough - When Grant Goodeve began singing the theme. The first and second season theme was great.
Three's Company
7th Heaven
Green Acres
Petticoat Junction
The Jeffersons
The Love Boat
The Golden Girls - they should had got Andrew Gold to sing Thank You for Being A Friend. He was the original and did a great job singing that.
Empty Nest
The first two seasons of Gimme A Break
A Different World - Horrible theme song to a horrible show. Amazing it lasted six seasons

Any one like any 50's or 60's themes?. All I see hear is 80's themes.

This is what theme song had HORRIBLE opening theme songs, so most people like 50s and 60s themes.

Question: What show had "All That" as its opening theme song?

Nickelodeons skecth-variety show "All That" had/has "All That" as its theme song. in the earlier years it was sung by hit pop/r&B trio TLC and in the later years it was changed to a different version, i beleive sung by the cast? The TLC version is head and shoulders above the other version.
