According to IMDB, it was Badiyi who came up with the idea of Mary Tyler Moore tossing her hat into the air at the end of the opening credits of her show.
In some respects, he’s also the father of the music video. Some of the camera and editing techniques he used in the title sequence of “Hawaii Five-O” were widely copied in the early videos that appeared on MTV.
BTW, the new CBS version of Hawaii Five-O (including its title sequence) pales in comparison to the original. And I hear the network is now working on a remake of “Gunsmoke.” I’m not looking forward to a PC version of Matt Dillon and Dodge City.
