by Jon Burlingame


From the publisher

A tuneful trip down memory lane for the baby-boom generationFor 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
