Dynasty
Fantasy Island
BJ and the Bear
Who's the Boss? (didn't really hate it, it just wasn't catchy)
Full House
The first season of the Facts of Life. The theme sounded like they were selling girl scout cookies.

Facts of Life

I agree. And Having Mrs. G. sing part of it too didn't help either.

Yeah it was. Thank God for Gloria Loring.

Yes, Charlotte Rae did indeed sing a part of the first Facts of Life theme (1979-80), which ruined my liking of it. The second FOL theme (1980-85) sounded too "girly" to me, it's the third theme (1985-88) that's my favorite (and I'm probably in the minority on that). The third theme totally rocked!

I listened to the first theme again yesterday and I noticed you can kinda hear Gloria in the background. Thank God they changed it though. I love Charlotte Rae but the next two theme changes IMO were very much for the better.

I abhor the new theme for Guiding Light. The music is awful and the visual effects are so cheap IMO. I could make better visual effects with Windows Movie Maker 2!

Even though I think it's a great show, the Three's Company's theme song sucked and still sucks.

It was so cheap looking, seriously. I could see them using that for a week or a month back when their 70th anniversary actually took place, but not for more than a year. That got old fast. I wish they had just brought back the 2005 theme.
