In the fall of 1992, Parker suffered a gunshot wound near his condo, the result of a dispute with his neighbor. Parker made a full recovery, and the neighbor was charged for attempted murder and sentenced to nine years in prison
If Jameson Parker was shot and killed how did he testify against his assailant in September 1993? According to the LA Times, Parker stood up for his wife and was shot twice by a deranged neighbor. He later testified against him.
The guitar player here is Barry De Vorzon, the same guy who doubled up with Joe Walsh for "In The City" with the Eagles and "The Warriors" soundtrack! Barry rules, and so does Walsh!
How sure are you of this? I know Barry wrote the theme song -- no question about that. But, I thought I recalled hearing years ago the Jeff Baxter played on the track.
Probably because this was a better theme, one which conveys action much better than the original. Simon and Simon had a shakey first season and CBS work a lot to promote it, including moving it in the schedule to air right after Magnum.
Wow. I thought I was the only one to ever like this show. You are right, the 80's had some great tv shows. All that is on now are these stupid reality tv shows, which are so boring.
The good old days! There was Simon & Simon, Riptide, Hardcastle & McCormick, A-Team,McGyver, Magnum, Rockford and many more! What we have now? Sex and the City and other trash shows! I want the 80´s back!!!!! They were our heros!
Damn, AJ was a hottie!

Barry De Vorzon also had a hand in creating another terrific theme song to the short-lived "S.W.A.T." (2/1975-76; ABC).

Do all 13 episodes contain the original theme song? Someone on IMDB said that some of the episodes use a season 3 or 4 version of the newer theme.

Jameson Parker's character should have been named "Rick" and Gerald McRaney's character should have been named "AJ".
