The Wyncote All Stars do a really nice version of The Cat Theme on one of their Secret Agent cash-in records, which is really worth tracking down.
I'd love to hear it, but I'm having difficulty tracking it down on eBay or other web sources. If you could point me to a site that might have a copy, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Jon,

The NBC posters are wonderful. It's amazing that a network would actually commission such things to promote their shows. Nowadays, even feature films are promoted with bland photo-montage publicity materials; only George Lucas seems to retain a fondess for, and belief in, the romantic power of a well-executed piece of art to publicize a movie.

I guess you've never seen THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH, Eric. I always knew that, once he started killing, Buttons the Clown couldn't stop.
As for Jan Murray, if you knew his work as a comic, then you'd know he'd probably make the same comment about himself if he had the chance.
Such sanctimony from you folks, trying to feel superior by speaking of the dead in such pointlessly hushed tones. As though the dead don't say exactly those kind of things about others before they get dead themselves.

I like both you guys, and I enjoy very much conversing with both of you. I'd like to see you both just stop it. STOP it. All friends, and buds, eh?

With Original and me, StevenJ you might as well invest in the Powerball Lottery since the odds are better.  But hey, it's a plus for you that you can easily converse with anyone here no matter what they think of other people you converse with.
The last sentence said a lot. I dare say applicable to all. I don't worry about posting a reply to anybody. They may be on bad terms with somebody, but that will not be my concern. I just hate like hell to see animosity or ill will when I have none between anybody I like to talk to.

Keep up your good work and just keep having fun.
I sure will. You keep posting all your great posts. You know I like the TV shit. You're the best. Try watching PETE AND GLADYS and test your TV tolerence.

Guys, I started this thread, and I'd really prefer it *NOT* getting hijacked with insults. Let's keep it on T.H.E. Cat and other cool 1960s shows, okay? Thanks!
...And in that vein, I've also been enjoying another half-hour 1960s drama (with very little room for subtlety), that I enjoyed as a kid: "The Rat Patrol."
Silly beyond words (these guys had balls of brass; they'd just waltz right into Nazi hangouts, shoot 'em up, then zip out) but man, to a 5-6 year-old-kid in the 1960s, this show joins the other 1966-1967 TV Shows of Total Badassery. Roaring over sand dunes in jeeps with mounted .50 caliber machine guns, accompanied by Dominic Frontiere's dynamite theme... well, it pings my Coolness Meter darn close to "Batmobile," "Flying Sub" and "Seaview" levels. :-) (And is it just me, or does the 1966 Christopher George bear a striking similarity to Kevin Bacon?)
And, one other observation about "T.H.E. Cat" -- besides the noir aspects, the show featured grotesque villains straight out of a Dick Tracy lineup. That high-weirdness, coupled with the violence, might've also contributed to it being cancelled.
