Am I the only person out there that likes it? I think the reason people hate it, the goofiness, is what gives it its charm. What is a silly sitcom's theme supposed to sound like? Miami Vice? Not going to work.

I like the theme, too. Yes, it's goofy but it fits with the show. The show itself was almost a caricature of a sitcom.

The only thing I liked about the Ropers was ANN'S ASS:lol:

The Ropers was actually a good show. I wish it had lasted another season. I liked the neighbors but I liked Mr. and Mrs. Roper the best. It wasn't a bad show

I liked the Ropers too and I found it funny. I also like the Ropers theme as well. It sounds like circus music.

It's bombastic...which totally fits the show. Off-the-wall comedy and Mrs. Roper is just a pure genius character!

I liked the theme song to. The blot at the beginning. Also how they showed each character individually.

It was a fun little theme- and gotta love the sample of the "Three's Company" theme in there. :)

I like it too. It's goofy but funny at the same time!

Am I the only one who always wondered why Mr. Roper was still holding a plunger in his hand during the opening, despite the fact that he was no longer the manager/maintenance man? Did Stanley have an infatuation with plungers or something?

I did think the theme song was hilarious. It was so bad, it was good. It seems to be written for the mid 20 year old stoner crowd in the late 1970's.

To maintain a link to Three's company

I think it's because he still did maintenance around his condo because he was too cheap to hire a plumber!

I think it's because The Ropers opening was so legendary bad. I will admit that it was soooooo bad, that it was good. I like it.

Just don't understand the plunger. Doesn't compute.

The plunger was a connection to his three's company days as a landlord

When they used to show this on WFLD-32 in Chicago, they retitled it "Three's Company's Friends: The Ropers" and used the Three's Company theme song. (They did something similiar with Three's a Crowd, calling it "Three's Company Too")

Pluto has the same syndication package but has the theme to match all shows

I don't think it is the theme SONG that people have an aversion to, but the video that goes along with it. I know that's what it is in my case.

I have often said that it was like the producers said to the actors, "Ok, stand in front of this screen and just do something stupid." While the producers said to themselves, "This show is never going to last so no sense spending money on a decent opening theme."

I loved The Ropers. I wish it would have lasted longer.
Hated the opening theme(video anyway).

The theme was supposed to be somewhat connected to the TC theme which wasnt necessary. It was already a spinoff so they could have had a better theme

I'll take this theme any day because so many shows today don't even have themes!
