One of the many great themes this composer wrote for TV. There should be an album of all these main titles. I know I would buy it!

I love little nuggets of insider information like this. The theme certainly got me keyed up to watch the show each week.

Never made the connection before but it sure sounds like a theme for a "Bob Newhart" show!

Absolutely, love how Conti applied that exciting energy breezing-out a quirky-lush pattern that classy sax rubato going-on is crème de la crème I love hearing freedom, sexiness, hail king-Conti. Fact it is more memorable for that tv diversity of Conti's ethos & colourful cast you don't always get that privilege starting an episode - like Five-O's iconic features its splendid it was an easy-deal dialling-in, both themes influenced me too the Hilton's watching more high-spirited showings, Conti & Stevens nailed there themes beautifully.

What I don't forgive Meg Foster being replaced those bosses excuses stunk worst than a blocked sewer, if that was today it would be a liable-case, bastards.

Zoob, dammit! Thanks to you, I've done gone and purchased the complete series set! This is one of those shows I'd catch an episode of here and there. I always loved it but never watched it seriously. The last thing I need right now, Zoob, is another TV series to watch. But then you didn't think about that, didja? Great thread on the theme - thanks!

My pleasure AG, but sorry to dent your Bank Account. CAGNEY and LACEY holds special memories for me as being one of the first TV Shows I was booked on as an extra back in my early Hollywood days in 1984. I probably was in under 10 episodes playing everything from a young Cop in uniform to Street criminal types or just a guy in a cafeteria style deli waiting in line to pay for my food. Fun times and I remember they had great catering for the company and crew, including the extras so that was a bonus. I'll have to dig up some old photos from the sets I know I have in storage somewhere. Wow, 1984. I was a kid back then.
