What was it w/ late-70's sitcoms doing that super-imposed head tilt in opening theme songs?

I think was one of the most awkward thing for a viewer to have to
watch.

Now excuse me while I rant: "Crystal Bernard, you stone-cold bitch,
your ruined too many of my TV shows! Now go to hell with you!"

;-) Given I had to suffer through her on Happy Days, It's A Living
then Wings, I think my rant is warranted.

Well, you're standing there, with the photographer telling you to smile
for the camera, for a really long time, and you can't move or look away
or speak or anything; the 'head tilt' is about all you can get away with.
