Taxi is one of my alltime favorite shows, but the themesong just doesn't do the series justice.

What good shows do you think had bad themesongs??

Taxi is one of my favorite theme songs. I think I like most tv theme songs.

I'm glad you like "Taxi". But I LOVE the theme song. I even have it on CD. Sometimes at work, they play the theme song over the radio and I feel like I'm in an episode of Taxi. It's great.

Yeah, the Taxi theme song is great. It's the perfect example of late '70s modern jazz.

Alice. One reason because Linda Lavin couldn't sing.

Dean Winchester · 10-28-2004, 03:29 PM

I personally like the Taxi theme

Now I don't care too much for the Who's The Boss? theme song, but I do think the show is OKAY tho I don't love it like others do, but the show is so much better than the awful theme song.

Full House. I liked the show, hated the theme song.

I agree, although I like the show.

I love the Gloria Loring theme song (both the "pop" seasons 2-6 version and the "80's rock" seasons 7-9 version) but I really didn't like the season 1 Charlotte Rae-sung Facts Of Life theme. I mean, she was great as Mrs. Garrett on FOL and DS, but as a singer, glass breaks.

Haha.
I liked every version of the FOL themesong (yes, even the glass breaking Charlotte Rae).... but my favorite was Seasons 7-9.

Wings. I love the show, but I've never been a fan of instrumental theme songs. I like something I can sing along to, LOL.
