What's up with the season 3 theme song?


The season 2 theme by Iris Dement was amazing and perfect for the show, but the season 3 theme sounds like a '70s sitcom.

EDIT: I see that the theme is different each episode. So far with three episodes (two themes)... both bad, imo. A Google search also revealed the episode 2 theme actually *was* an '80s sitcom theme... bizarre.

I agree the Iris Dement song was so perfect. The 3rd episode was another weird choice.

Well the episode two theme song was probably because of Mark Linn-Baker. He was in that 80's sitcom. So there is a connection with what's happening in the episode.

I don't mind the different theme songs every episode. But they don't really fit the visuals very well.

that sitcom was hilarious,one of my favorites!i have all episodes.
corny but funny!

reply

Yeah, it was the Perfect Strangers theme....which has a connection in the show.

So, it made perfect sense.

I forgot a lot from the previous two seasons, so after watching the Mark Linn Baker episode, I decided to re-watch the whole show before continuing any further. And I noticed that Perfect Strangers were occasionally mentioned throughout the first two seasons. So, Mark suddenly appearing in the show makes much more sense now.

I hate the music this year. Terrible. I'm shocked they went with this corniness.

reply

they should have stayed with the beautiful season one theme.

reply

Agreed, season one was beautiful, along with the titles, much better than those cheap stock photos that someone dabbled with in Photoshop.

I'm so glad they went back to the Iris Dement song for the finale!

reply

Amen to that!
