I don't know about "of all time", but the first one that comes to my mind is Star Trek: Enterprise.

The other Star Trek shows had rousing orchestral themes, most of which were excellent (TNG, DS9, VOY), and even when it was bad (TOS) it was still thematic.

ST:ENT's theme is some cheesy soft rock ballad, with this Bon-Jovi-esque dude crooning sappy lyrics over lazy guitar chords. It's pretty bad even for that genre, and it's certainly does not fit the Star Trek theme.

Ha! Saw the thread title, and thought ST:ENT. Still too slow.

Best? Better Call Saul. I think it is about 5 seconds.

All In the Family was the worst IMHO, but Facts of Life runs a close second.

I could go the rest of my life without hearing this song again. I watched the show too, until the monkey left.

The ring tone on my cell phone. That show was probably a bit too much of an influence on my law enforcement career...

I see gripes about Star Trek: Enterprise's theme song on an almost daily basis on Star Trek groups. I never understood why it gets all the hate. Sure, it's different, but I actually enjoy it.

Agree 100%. That theme was socks on a rooster. When I watched the series on Amazon streaming I was thankful they had the skip intro feature to get past it. It was so annoying I had the A/V system mute on just in case until the episode started. I read that the showrunner defended the theme for years but finally had to admit it kept the show from being more popular than it was.

Theme songs? They had theme songs? I never paid much attention to them, let alone remember them. From what I've just read, maybe it was just as well.
