A couple of these looked really interesting, though the only one I've heard of before was the John Cassavetes show ("Johnny Staccato").
Be interesting to see how many of these other FReepers remember. Especially the one with Mr. Roeper (Norman Fell) as a cop, LOL.

As a mere lad in the 1960’s the only one I remember is T.H.E. Cat and more faintly Johnny Staccato. The others...nada!

I've never seen or even heard of any of those shows - and those were from the time before shows were canceled after one bad night in the ratings. I did get a kick out of the young Burt Reynolds in the Hawk.

Amos Burke - puffing a cigarette then shooting. Yeah!
I wish any of these were MY theme song!

Sadly I remember watching almost all of these. To Chase A Million isn't that familiar but I know I watched it once or twice.
Out of this group my favorite was Burke's Law. That was a cool show.
Anyone else remember East Side/West Side with George C Scott? Not on the list and not one of my favs but no one seems to remember it today.
Of all the old shows (non kiddie types) Peter Gunn was my fav!
FWIW I just finished watching the set of Route 66 episodes on DVD. Some of those, especially the first season, were dark! IIRC George Kennedy had a small part in the first episode.

87th Precinct was only on the air for the 61-62 season. Norman Fells character was the jaded Det. Meyer Meyer.

I remember the opening of Suspense Theater (very creepy opening, IMHO). Didn’t watch the rest of them - I was a kid not interested in such shows but remember the names 87th, Checkmate, Amos Burke (later Burkes Law, starring Gene Barry who in his Bat Masterson and War of the Worlds days was one of the handsomest actors ever).
That Youtube includes some British shows, notably the Baron, by Terry Nation, creator of the Daleks, so that explains why some would be unmemorable here in the US!

About a year ago I started an old time youtube tv theme thread too. This was one of the more interesting one I found. Apparently French Foreign Legion regiments were issued a 9 year old boy.

I recall both “Checkmate” and “Suspense Theater”, whose themes were written by John Williams back in the days when he was calling himself Johnny Williams.

Some great music there! The 60’s by far had the best theme music. My personal favorite was the Perry Mason Theme, but that Dave Brubeck in Mr. Broadway was great.
I do remember T.H.E. Cat, but none of those others.
Does anyone remember the show Eighth Man? All us kids used to watch it religiously after school. Somehow, that’s the anime show you never hear about.

I remember the graphics from Suspense Theater and Gene Barry’s thing with the cigarette. Also Checkmate. None of the others. Funny, but my brain pulled up the name Coronet Blue. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kvof8Hvm3B0&feature=related I must have watched it because he was a hottie - lol.
