1. A great TV theme song by the Great Mike Post!!!

My personal favorite is one I hummed to myself as I crossed the Mississippi on my long solo cross-country flight in my pilot training:

3. I always like that one (and the show)

It always seemed to me like he recycled that one for the A-Team theme.

2. And a hat tip to Mike Post who knew the power of the hook

He also brought us Law & Order, NYPD Blue, L.A. Law, Quantum Leap, Magnum, P.I., and Hill Street Blues.

I will always remember James Garner for sterling work in Maverick:

4. A lesser known James Garner cinema

great was the movie Grand Prix which won 3 Oscars (sound, film editing, effects) and featured Yves Montand and Jesica Walter and Eva Marie Saint. The film about racing also featured as extras members from the British professional racing circuit.

The sound-track for that movie was by the great Maurice Jarre who also composed the music for Lawrence of Arabia and Dr. Zhivago among others.
