Weekend Theme Music


We're going waaay back to revive three of the most memorable (to us) early television theme songs (that we haven't already played) -- you know, back when networks were actually airing tons of scripted series:  the themes from "Mr. Lucky," which ran from 1959-60;  "Dr. Kildare," 1961-66);  and "Route 66," 1960-64.

"Mr. Lucky" (composer Henry Mancini)

"Dr. Kildare"  (Jerry Goldsmith)

"Route 66" (Nelson Riddle)

I particularly enjoyed the Dr. Kildare piece. I can just see Richard Chamberlain, and it could have been written for Thornbirds as well, as it is so sweeping, romantic and poignant. What a weekend treat! P.E.C.

P.E.C. -- glad you enjoyed! That piece also brings back memories for "the boys."
