Bad Shows with Good Theme Songs...

[WannaWitness]

Yes, I have run into that. There are a fair number of TV programs that I don't care for (and even absolutely cannot stand, and for various reasons), yet I find their theme songs pleasant.

Prime examples (for me, anyway) are:

The Golden Girls - a really tacky program, but I love the smooth, easy-listening theme tune entitled Thank You for Being a Friend .

Married With Children - One of the worst shows of all time, but uses a classic hit by Frank Sinatra from the '50s (Love and Marriage)

Roseanne has a bluesy instrumental theme.

Batman - I usually get a kick out of programs most other people consider cheesy. However, this is one of those programs that go over the limit, even for me. The theme tune is quite catchy; it's one of those ones you can't get out of your head: "Na-na-na-na-na-na-na... BATMAN!" Yes, the theme song is cheesy, too, but not to the degree of the actual show.

How about Dexter? The theme song is very good, but the show as such is a little too violent for my tastes.

Great theme - puny show.

Captain Planet, he's a hero! Gonna take pollution down to zero...

I never watched a full episode of that cartoon, but I can recite the theme song from memory.

The Hills with "Unwritten."

I like "Love and Marriage" as well and why did it have to put with MWC? ::Shudder::

ER.

Had 6 or 7 good years, but overstayed it's welcome.

Mad Men

I hate the show but the theme is kind of catchy.
