Baretta Theme Song

Baretta Tidbits

Baretta was an indirect spinoff of Toma (anyone remember Toma?). After Tony Musante left the show, Robert Blake was asked to step in, and the show was revamped into Baretta. Tony Baretta was an unconventional cop, streetwise with a decidedly funky lifestyle. He lived in apartment 2-C of an old run-down hotel called the King Edward, with his pet cockatoo, Fred. The orphaned son of poor Italian immigrants, Baretta was a master of disguise, which ability he used to infilrate gangs. The show had plenty of hard action, as well as comic relief provided by his dude informant friend, Rooster. The show made it into the Top Ten for the 1976/1977 season.

And, of course, many of you have heard about the troubles of one Mr. Blake, I’m sure.

That's the end of the ride for today. Please watch your step on exiting the time machine. Now that I've shown you a few, how about you share something from your memory. Or, if one of these were your favorite show then, share a memory of the best episode for you.

Betty liked to show off her gams.

Naughty but never nasty.

[TASMANIANRED]

[tomkow6]

I've heard similar things.

[DieHard the Hunter]

Thankyou, Bentfeather!

"Irish Lullaby", as performed by the legendary John Gary: a fantastic part of my early childhood memories, as my folks were John Gary fans.

He was a huge talent: as I recall, he was ex-US Marines, and one-time holder of the underwater hold-your-breath world record. Boasted a full three-octave range without going falsetto...

Brought tears to my eyes to hear it again, after so many years!

Cheers from DownUnder
