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!
