You Tube Comments from the people:


^ great guy, great show.

^ Joe Mannix was great

^ One of the 10 best theme songs in TV history!  Listen to a big-band long version of it sometimes .... Swingin'!


^ Joe Mannix was cool, the theme was cool, great secretary.

^ Lalo Schifrin could do no wrong.  One of the best composers of tv and film scores of the 60s, along with Dave Grusin and Henry Mancini.


^ Lalo Schifrin es argentino.

^ great time period for themes, this one reminds me so much of NFL films

^ The one thing I remember besides the theme song was some scene where he's careening downhill on a twisty road in a convertible because someone cut his brake line.

^ HaHa .... You are so right.... He went through at least one car per episode .... He would dive out the door seconds before the car went off the cliff ....
     Mannix also had a habit of getting pistol whipped and would wake up with the ice pack on his head ....


^ Super-cool theme song!

^ Cool, breezy 1960s jazz .... The next best thing to this music is the late Vince Guaraldi's music for the Charlie Brown specials.

^ man I used to love this show!

^ The awesome unknown bassist, Carol Kaye!

^ A total COOL jazz theme.  I love jazz played by orchestras ....

^ Lalo Schifrin was the composer and it is in triple time.  No wonder it swings.

^ He solved so many crimes and jumped from so  many cars.
