Normally on a Friday, I like to look at old TV programme with a weird title sequence (“Weird old title sequences”) or sometimes just one that’s a bit hard to find these days and which I rather like (“Lost Gems”) – and then I cobble together a brief precis of it and its good points.
This week, I’m going for something slightly different. Someone’s put together a montage of 10 rare title sequences from the 1960s – so rare I’ve not heard of half them and which look like Lost Gems in some cases – so I thought I’d let the vid speak for itself.
The programmes, most of which have ridiculously cool title sequences and starred people who became famous later on, included are:
- Johnny Staccato with John Cassavetes
- Mr Broadway with Craig Stevens
- 87th Precinct with Robert Lansing
- Checkmate with Doug McClure
- Suspense Theatre
- Amos Burke Secret Agent with Gene Barry
- Hawk with Burt Reynolds
- T.H.E. Cat with Robert Loggia
- The Baron with Steve Forrest
- Man In A Suitcase with Richard Bradford
Enjoy!
