  1. This time it's the talented John Parker. Theme compseor of "CHiPs", composer on countless famous/well-known TV series: Dallas, SWAT; Walker, Texas Ranger; Gunsmoke, Barnaby Jones, and the list goes on.

  2. I didn't think it would be so quiet. Anyone?

    Well what did you expect? I don't think old American TV scores by a composer I doubt many people have heard of are of any particular interest for the vast majority of people on this forum. (I think it's safe to say you're the American version of Joep.)

    What does he think of contemporary American tv themes? Still the 'if I'm working in the kitchen and I hear the *insert theme here* in the background, I know the series begins* principle?

    Did that question make sense? spin

    "It is telling of society's waning attention span that opening TV themes have become shorter and shorter? While we used to be treated to a full 90-second mini-opus of sound and imagery representing the series, we now have a barely-20-second blurb that you could blink and miss, and for which the composer is lucky if he's able to squeeze in any kind of thematic idea at all."
