Episode description

Lot of great jazz renditions of Television themes in this episode. I talk about the very first tv program I ever remember watching---the first day television came to Edmonton, Alberta. And I play interesting jazz renditions of the Jack Benny theme (a medley of Love in Bloom and Hooray for Hollywood).

You'll also hear music by three of the great tv theme writers---Henry Mancini, Lalo Schifrin, and Quincy Jones. The themes are Mission: Impossible, Mannix, Peter Gunn, Pink Panther, Mr. Lucky, Sandford & Sons, and Ironside.

Rounding out the episode is Bob James theme from Taxi (a tune called Angela), Mort Stevens' Hawaii-Five O theme, and 77 Sunset Strip.
