Worst Music?

The syrupy string music used on the Cullen version of TPIR was horribly dated, but it's up there...

I have to chuckle. The long-running Cullen Price went off the air in 1965. Considering that the games and soaps back then were demographically aimed at women aged from the mid 20s to around 60, and not at adolescent, or pre-pubescent, or teenage boys … what kind of music would you expect them to use? The target demo's preferred tunes, at that time, tended toward stringy, easy listening, “beautiful music”. The most toe-tapping one could expect of them, might be something along the lines of “Mairzy Doats and Doazy Doats”.
And btw, the theme from the Cullen TPIR is still among this old rocker's favorite GS themes to listen to.

Ditto on Las Vegas Gambit. That big bombastic open is fitting to me, considering the setting. Then...sounds like a generic talk show theme. I feel like I'm gonna watch Wink talk to the couples about marital troubles than play cards and trivia.

1974 High Rollers had enough in it that it could pass for his demo reel.

Absolutely. That's another one of my favorites, but it's goes all over the place at times.

The Neighbors. Bad theme music for an equally bad game show. And I'm quite nostalgic for the Three On A Match theme. I wish I could have seen the remainder of its run after May 1972.
