Anybody else HATE the theme song?

I checked out the first few seasons of HI from my library, and had no idea the theme music was as horrible as it is! For one thing the jackhammer noise makes my fillings hurt, and it seems like it goes on for at least ten minutes. Glad it was greatly shortened in future seasons and for syndicated showing. When the disc menu comes up, if you don't 'select' something immediately (God help you if you've misplaced your remote and can't get up to push buttons) because the jackhammer noise just goes on and on til you lose your mind. Horrible theme music, horrible disc setup. At least the show was usually funny. Like the pilot very much.

I don't hate the theme song, but I agree it could've been a lot better. I would've liked them to do something similar to Growing Pains theme song or Full House's theme song.

Instead of San Francisco, HI could've done something similar to Full House but with Detroit landmarks.

The music was meant to be testosterone-laden and in that respect, it worked perfectly. MORE POWER!!

My people skills are fine. It's my tolerance of morons that needs work.
