Tv's Biggest Hits: The Story of Television Themes from "Dragnet" to "Friends"
A tuneful trip down memory lane for the baby-boom generation. For the millions of people who have grown up with television, TV theme songs are a national folk music, instantly recognizable and fraught with personal memories. Now, TV's Biggest Hits gathers together for the first time all the information about the master composers -- including Henry Mancini (Peter Gunn), Duke Ellington (The Asphalt Jungle), and Mike Post (Hill Street Blues, E.R.) -- who created this music, how they work, and the trials and tribulations of creating music for a TV series.
Organized by genre from sitcoms to hospital shows, detective dramas, sci-fi, and variety shows. Includes stills from the original shows.
