That's entirely appropriate, as "The Star Spangled Banner" is an objectively terrible song. "America the Beautiful," "God Bless America," or "Lift Every Voice and Sing" would be a far better national anthem. Hell, "Seven Nation Army" would be a better anthem than TSSB.Somebody did a survey awhile back and found that more people know the words to "Gilligan's Island" than to "The Star Spangled Banner".
My problem with the opening title to "Enterprise" was its American-Centric visuals. If you're going to be celebrating any "firsts" in space-exploration, Yuri Gagarin needs to be included, and instead we see Alan Shepard suiting up. Mr. Chekov would have objected.Perfect lyrics for the show! Many did not like a theme w words?

The producers of Enterprise hired a Dollar Store Rod Stewart to record the theme song.My only problem with the song was that Rod Stewart did it better on the Patch Adams soundtrack
You can sing the theme to Gilligan's Island to the tune of 'House of the Rising Sun (and visa Versa)
Pretty neat , eh?!?! (Assuming you just tried it!)
Laverne and Shirley had the best "song" -- but the best opening title, ever, for any TV show was clearly "Space: 1999" (year one), which was the most epic piece of music ever for a TV show. Barry Gray rules!
Here ya go Techrat, one of my favorites too!
I know the lyrics still from my youth to it. A season or two in they added the professor and Mary Ann. I know some others as well such as The Addams Family and spotty memories of a couple more. As for music I really enjoyed The Wild, Wild West intro and The Munsters was good. MTM and All in the Family which I believe was a song already written.I just watched the first episode of Green Acres on YouTube. TV shows had good theme songs back in the 60's. You knew what the show was about by just listening to the theme song. And they were catchy songs too.
Yeah Russell is no Rod, but he does have 14 studio albums and a couple of more live ones under his belt. I suspect it was more of a rights issue than anythingThe producers of Enterprise hired a Dollar Store Rod Stewart to record the theme song.
