This Sitcom had the worst opening theme song ever heard on a TV Set - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The show Taxi, had the craziest theme song I ever heard on a sitcom. This opening theme song reminds me of elevator music or something you would hear at a dentist office. LOL-the theme song set the horrible boring tone for the show. The theme song and show were noth boring with a capital B.

That's amazing. Just before I read the post, I had the Taxi theme song in my head. Actually, I even have it on CD.

I like the Taxi theme song, and I think Taxi is a good show.

I don't like the Three's Company theme song. A stupid theme song for a stupid show.

I like both the "Taxi" and "Three's Company" theme songs very much, as well as the shows themselves. The theme songs I really can't stand are the "Friends," "Seinfeld," and "Wings" theme songs. I really hate the "Friends" theme song lyrics, I hate the way the "Seinfeld" theme song sounds period, and the "Wings" theme song annoys me because my cousin used to love that show and would always hum it to get on my nerves.

Taxi theme song is a great way to get to sleep when someone is having a hard time falling asleep.

I hate the Friends theme.
Sorry, Solomon, but I also like the Taxi theme - and the show.

I use to Love the Friends Theme until I got the Soundtrack and played it all the time Lets just say if you Play the theme alot it gets old after awhile

I disagree, I think the "Taxi" theme song is beautifully done. When I saw the title to your thread, I thought for sure that you
were referring to the theme song to "Grady." In my opinion, that is "the" worst tv theme song of all time. While the show was a spinoff of "Sanford and Son," the excellent and memorable music of Sanford did not spin off to "Grady."

These were mentioned above, so I thought I'd address this - I dig the theme songs to Taxi, Seinfeld, Wings, and Roseanne.

Any road, here are my top ten worst TV theme songs (this doesn't necessarily mean I dislike the show):

1. The Facts Of Life
2. Family Ties
3. Family Ties
4. Three's Company
5. Growing Pains
6. Charles In Charge
7. Saved By The Bell
8. Diff'rent Strokes
9. Full House
10. Who's The Boss?

James · 03-06-2003, 02:41 AM

I loved the show though.

As I kid I thought that the theme song didn't go with the show, and I still don't. I think that they could have done better, but what do I know?
