Great post, I thought I was the only one who knew about Mike Post, he did all the theme tunes to the shows of my childhood, my favourite being The A-Team. You could buy CD's of his work back in the old days of record shops, which is how I discovered him. Thanks for bringing back all those good memories.
I'm glad I could do that for you! It was interesting as I grew older to learn just how many of my favorite tunes he had written. These days it's almost rare for shows to have an opening theme.
I had not associated Mike Post with those series, well I was very small but after the years I still watched them, I remember that my mother liked to watch Magnum, she has always been a fan of those crime series, I'm sure I inherited it from her, what I enjoy the most are the action series.
I'm with you! There were some really great shows back then and I don't feel like the stuff today can compare. Some of it was cheesy, but it was just pure gold as well.
Thanks, I appreciate it. As you dig in, it is pretty amazing just how much music he composed. I think he might have done the Riptide and Simon and Simon theme too, but I could be wrong.
Loved the A Team and Magnum PI. There were some real classic tv to watch back then that just isnt the same these days. It is still on my to watch list, the A Team film, it would be hard without the real Hannibal though.

I didn't know the name, but I've heard his work. I watched some of those shows a lot, but don't think I saw The Greatest American Hero. I am sure someone did a Hive post about it. Can you believe I've not watched Seinfeld? It was on here, but I just didn't get into it.
Greatest American Hero was pretty cool. I don't know how they might have made it work for multiple seasons, but the premise was pretty interesting. Seinfeld isn't for everyone, but if you like it, there are so many good plot lines.

You must be killin' it out here! @geneeverett just slapped you with 1.000PIMP, @bozz. You earned 1.000PIMP for the strong hand. They're getting a workout and slapped 1/2 possible people today.
Greatest American Hero had a great theme song. I always love the George version on Seinfeld! Probably one of the best theme songs made for TV.
Of course the A-Team theme just sticks in your head too, as the Magnum theme. I'm surprised no one has tried to resurrect the A-Team for television. They made a pretty good movie though!
I don't know if the A-Team would work these days. People aren't as open to the same thing week after week like they used to be. I'd still watch it if they tried though! They need to come out with a second movie.
They do, apparently not going happen though on the second movie.
Your probably right on people not as into that type of show these days, I would watch it too! They would probably have to adapt it to have an ongoing drama more like Reacher to make it work though.
Yeah, my wife and I were trying to hold off on watching the episodes so we wouldn't have to wait for a new one each week, but we couldn't help ourselves and now here we sit waiting for tomorrow to come!
I also remember this TV that used to be in our house and there were no colors in it and it was black and white and all of us brothers and sisters and all our relatives used to watch movies together. It was more special.

I didn't know how much I loved Mike Post!
I know right!
Mike post did theme tracks for so many TV series it's incredible, had forgotten about him after watching many of the shows with the boys when young.
Nice drifting down memory lane and giving great composers a shout out!
Thanks, I appreciate it. As you dig in, it is pretty amazing just how much music he composed. I think he might have done the Riptide and Simon and Simon theme too, but I could be wrong.
Each score written became synonymous to the series, he was incredible in what he achieved.

Love the scene with George 😆
Seinfeld has some of the best scenes. I think Liam Neeson did a pretty good George Peppard imitation. I really miss those old shows!

Reacher has been great this season!

No kidding! I'm right there with you... I look forward to Thursday nights now!
I also remember this TV that used to be in our house and there were no colors in it and it was black and white and all of us brothers and sisters and all our relatives used to watch movies together. It was more special.
What a great memory! We had an old black and white TV as well. It was so small compared to the ones that are out today!
These are great songs! Oh wow, talk about memories. Those were some kickass themes songs, for sure.
And those phones in that Seinfeld clip! Holy long antenna!
Haha, yeah it's hard to believe that stuff was cutting edge back then. I love those old shows from when I was a kid
