For some reason, I could never watch WKRP in Cincinatti after the theme song. I guess I felt the show never lived up to the song. Three's A Crowd also falls under this category (although I like John Ritter). What are your picks for shows with good theme songs but poor execution?

I like the the original "Full House" theme, but the theme in the syndicated one is much shorter and it features "you miss your old familiar friends but waiting just around the bend." I don't like that theme. I thought it was a bad theme song. The full original opening is waaayyyyy better than the syndicated one.
