Mid-Week Music

After recalling some popular themes from classic TV westerns last week, we decided to do the same for classic TV police dramas no longer airing (sorry, "Hawaii Five-0"!).  Here's our selection, out of dozens of possibilities.  Where we could, we've provided the most complete versions possible so you can hear the full composition beyond what was often played on air.  Hope we "captured" some of your favorites.

Peter Gunn (composer, Henry Mancini)

Perry Mason (Fred Steiner)

Dragnet (Walter Schumann)

The Rockford Files (Mike Post/ Pete Carpenter)

Hill Street Blues (Mike Post)
