Boy it was tough waiting out those three or four weeks until it was Columbo's turn in the rotation again. Anyway, I've always loved that musical theme too--very memorable opening for the series, as you said, mrj! |

I remember one of my sisters really liked Tony Curtis and one year he had a very short-lived show called "McCoy" that was added to the Sunday Mystery Movie rotation. She was still too young to go see his film Lepke but she sure loved watching McCoy! And I suppose we should mention that the NBC Mystery Movie music was composed by some guy named Mancini  |

Boy it was tough waiting out those three or four weeks until it was Columbo's turn in the rotation again. Anyway, I've always loved that musical theme too--very memorable opening for the series, as you said, mrj! We watched them all, in my house, though Columbo was the favorite. We even watched Hec Ramsey, though i have only very dim images of it in my head. McCloud and MacMillan & Wife were on longer and I can recall more of them. Speaking of rotating features: Cliffhangers Kenneth Johnson was behind it. It was an homage to the old movie serials and featured The Curse of Dracula, with Dracula in modern San Francisco; Stop Susan Williams, where Susan Anton is a journalist investigating her brother's murder and its link to a conspiracy, and The Secret Empire, which was a remake of the Gene Autry serial The Phantom Empire. The series started with the stories "already in progress," though those opening chapters were really setting a brand new stage. The last episode never aired on NBC, so only Curse of Dracula had it's final installment broadcast. Stop Susan Williams and The Secret Empire wrapped up their stories in that unaired episode. It did air in Canada and the UK; just not in the US. One of my favorites from syndication and Japan: Battle of the Planets The narration is a lie. The original Japanese show, Gatchaman, took place entirely on Earth, with a couple of forays to Earth orbit. The Sandy Frank version was post-Star Wars and narration put the adventures on other planets, while new inferior animation (a light moving through a star field) was supposed to be the Phoenix travelling in space. 7-Zark-7 was a nod to Artoo detoo and provided narration and helped bridge edits made for violence. There was also knew footage of the team in their rec room, which also stood out against the higher quality Tatsunoko animation. Another cartoon favorite: The Jetsons |

Farrar, you probably are familiar with the idea that Hec Ramsey was in reality Paladin (from the excellent "Have Gun Will Travel") in his golden years...

Farrar , you probably are familiar with the idea that Hec Ramsey was in reality Paladin (from the excellent "Have Gun Will Travel") in his golden years... Yes, thanks Hal. But at the time of the NBC Sunday Mystery Movie I was entering a rebellious stage and for the most part didn't want to stay home watching TV with my family--I preferred hanging out with my friends (so what if the next day was school  ). So I turned my nose up at watching Hec Ramsey, MacMillan & Wife, McCloud, McCoy, Amy Prentiss, etc.--shows the rest of my family enjoyed. But I loved Columbo--and this would have been a few years into its run, not even when the show first started--so I made an exception for it. I became fascinated with Peter Falk and I tried to catch his movies whenever they were shown on TV, such as Husbands, Murder Inc., Luv, Robin and the Seven Hoods, etc.--though I'm sure these many of those films were heavily cut for TV due to mature content matter. My family didn't read TV Guide because we used the Sunday newspaper TV weekly listings, but I remember I bought this issue! From 1974  |
