“I remember Checkmate, Burke’s Law, and T.H.E. Cat...Cat’s opening theme stuck with you”
Those are exactly the ones I remember, and I was a little kid when they were on t.v. I remember Sebastian Cabot in Checkmate, and I loved Burke’s Law for some reason, lol... good memories.

The theme for “T.H.E. Cat” was by Lalo Schifrin, who that same season contributed his memorable one for “Mission: Impossible.” His first TV theme belonged to the prior spring’s “Blue Light,” another good “forgotten” show starring Robert Goulet as a double agent in Nazi Germany. It was part of ABC’s “second season,” along with “The Baron” and “Batman.” The only portion of “Blue Light” that’s appeared on home video is “I Deal In Danger,” which is the feature comprised of the opening episodes’ story arc.

“Checkmate” is another good one, and the series has just been (or is about to be) released in its entirety on DVD.

“Suspense Theatre” (originally “Kraft Suspense Theatre”) spun off the Ben Gazzara series “Run For Your Life.”

Another memorable, yet “forgotten,” show is “The Smothers Brothers Show,” CBS’ answer to ABC’s “Bewitched” and NBC’s “I Dream of Jeannie” in the supernatural sitcom genre, in which Tommy played a probationary angel. Aaron Spelling was one of the show’s creators. It was such a tortuous experience for Tom that he will not talk about the series.
