Rave: Great TV theme songs / Rant: Crappy TV theme songs

[StatmanCrothers]

Rave: the best 15 second theme song ever. period. Wow. "How I Met Your Mother" ... if my wife even THINKS about fast-forwarding i glare at her.

Rant: the worst piece of crap song by a normally great songwriting band "Big Bang Theory" by Barenaked Ladies ... i can't stand it. i shudder at the sound of it and ALWAYS fast forward it.

you personal pets and peeves?

Yes, Sanford and Son.

And Alice.

Early to rise (porn guitar bow bow wow wow),
Early to bed (porn guitar bow bow wow wow),
In and between I cooked and cleaned and went out of my head.
Going through life with blinders on, it's tough to see.
I had to get up, get out from under and look for me.
There's a new girl in town and she's looking good.
There's a fresh freckled face, in the neighborhoood.
There's a new girl in town, with a brand new style.
She was just passing through,
but if things work out she's gonna stay awhile....ba ba bum bum bummmm

WKRP in Cincinnati.
Cheers.
Mash.

Worst for me:
Perfect Strangers

Dude, the Perfect Strangers theme is awesome. Incredibly uplifting. I feel I can do anything after listening to it.

I question anyone who considers Small Wonder as a good theme song.

I question anyone who considers Small Wonder as a good theme song.

But she's fantastic! Made of plastic! Microchips here and there!

They changed the theme in a later season. I was all jazzed-up. I like the "smooth" Small Wonder theme better.
