My high school’s marching band did a pretty dope rendition of that theme.😄

Escape into Night was a kid’s show about a girl who is stuck at home with alone term illness. She has a visiting nurse who tells her of another boy she sees who is very ill.
She also is given a drawing book which is quite old. She draws a house and puts the boy in there.
When she dreams she goes there. The only problem is that she drew eyes on the rocks in the garden, these rocks are sentient and they’re not very nice.
As a kid it terrified me. A film, Paperhouse, was made later but it was more adult orientated and not as scary.

@hightor,
Many people don't realize that although all the Peter Gunn compositions were by Mancini, Mancini gave the theme to Ray Anthony. Ray Anthony's version was the hit record and it is featured at the show's beginning.
Yeah, without checking anything, that is definitely music I've heard in multiple "Superman" episodes. I had no idea it was anything more than soundtrack music.

anthology series that aired on CBS from 1955 to 1960. It was originally sponsored by Colgate-Palmolive.

(I was a mere child obviously.)
I never watched it, but I remember seeing ads for it hundreds of times during its run.

I wish they'd bring it back. It was great. The last time I recited Michael Anthony's speech from the opening was about ten days ago to my wife. The same actor also played the voice of the old man.

Tygo Road, comedy starring Kevin McNally who as a disgraced city type has to take a job managing a community arts centre.
The employees are a real bunch of misfits and McNally out Fawlties Basi Fawlty as someone on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
It was very funny, but was only shown once and Kevin McNally’s Wikipedia page makes no mention of it.

Anybody remember an 80s show called ‘That’s Incredible!’
- hosted by John Davidson, Fran Tarkington and Cathy Lee Crosby?
They would put on people who had odd talents like catching a bullet in their teeth, or leaping over a car that was speeding right at them.
It's become completely apparent to me that all you males watched waaaaaay too much tv! I've never even heard of 90% of these shows Is that the modern-day equivalent to gaming?
