the heroes one pisses me off.

Ayre 02-12-07 10:55 AM

What about Brian. Just a horrible pop song without any hooks.

Worst theme song on TV right now is 'The L Word.'

I own all six seasons of 'Gilmore Girls' and I don't believe I've made it through the theme song without skipping to the next chapter even once. It's just an awful song. Sorry. Glad I'm not the only one, though.

My vote for worst ever goes to The Outer Limits. It also qualifies as the best show with the worst theme.

Bronkster 02-12-07 12:44 PM

Three's Company - I hated the show anyway, but I think the theme song had a lot to do with it.

Ding ding ding. We have a winner. Yes yes YES! I'm going to have to say this is quite possibly the worst TV theme song ever.

And to whoever mentioned the revamped "Veronica Mars" song, also correct. Way to fuck up a great original. There was no need for that.

Enterprise.

I hate nearly all the music on Boston Legal, including the theme song. I've just gotten to the point where I blank it out.

Eplicon 02-12-07 02:20 PM

I couldn't stand NBC sitcoms back in the '80s, so:

Diff'rent Strokes
The Facts of Life
Silver Spoons

I also can't stand Gloria Loring's singing.

Speaking of Gilmore Girls, I actually find the use of the "la-la-la" cue that's heard during a transitional scene in literally every show more annoying than the title song.

WORD and word.

I like the re-mixed version better. :shrug:

Of the theme songs I'm familiar with, I would have to say Friends and King of Queens are the most annoying.

I remember the old Family Matters song being very annoying back in the day.

Turd Ferguson 02-12-07 05:12 PM

"Friends" hands down.

bunkaroo 02-12-07 05:22 PM

Malcolm In The Middle. I will kill the people who sang that on site. And I don't even watch the show, but it always winds up on my TV right after the Simpsons end at 5:30.

Dan1boy 02-12-07 05:56 PM

Beverly Hills 90210

Seriously. Gag me with a spoon.

cultshock 02-12-07 06:07 PM

"It's Garry Shandling's Show". I know the theme was intentionally meant to be really stupid, but boy did they succeed. :lol:

CreatureX 02-12-07 06:17 PM

Top Design on Bravo. Annoying! :hairpull:

Ah, yes. That is definitely a shitty one. "I'm calling allll friends..." Whoever thought that one up needs to be slapped.

What's interesting about the whole Veronica Mars theme song thing is that in a recent interview (on the Television Without Pity website) VM creator Rob Thomas wanted the season 3 credit sequence and theme to be for the whole series, but couldn't for the first two seasons. That noir-type feeling was the original intent from the beginning, and he never liked the high school notebook-type credits.

Here's a link to the interview (though it was probably linked in a VM thread sometime before anyway)

The L Word Theme Song Lyrics

by Betty


Girls in tight dresses
Who drag with moustaches

Chicks driving fast
Ingenues with long lashes.

Women who long love lust
Women who give.

This is the way
it's the way that we live.

Talking, laughing, loving, breathing
Fighting, fucking, crying, drinking
Writing, winning, losing, cheating
Kissing, thinking, dreaming.

This is the way
it's the way that we live

It's the way that we live
And Love.............

JIF 02-12-07 11:08 PM

At first, I disliked ENTERPRISE's Faith of the Heart, but it grew on me....until they included that awful acoustic guitar in the 3rd season.

But the first show I thought of when I saw this thread was ALICE. As a kid, I couldn't get over Linda Lavin's loud and obnoxious theme, "There's a New Girl in Town."

I know, aren't they great? When I hear the theme, I get excited to watch the show. Plus the girls look pretty hot during the theme too.

Michael Corvin 02-12-07 11:42 PM
