This is one of the best intros ever. I used to like the show a lot, but I looked forward to watching the intro even more than the show. I remember walking home from school really quickly when I was in high school in 93-94 so I could watch reruns on FX. I would get so upset if I missed the intro. Most shows that were broadcasted in the 70's and 80's had really good intros. I don't know what happened starting in the 90's, but it seems like they stopped trying.
Can we get the end credits to see if stuntman Mike was actually in this? "None of you have ever heard of any of these shows I'm talking about, have you?" Quentin Tarantino is god.
I LOVE IT!!!! Played this 4 times in a row & still can't get enough! This is straight out of the days when TV themes created the identity of a show. Network suits are all greed and no guts nowadays...which of them would have the guts to sacrifice ad time and allow an opening montage to go 90 seconds long? "Vegas" was among the very best & coolest! This is why You Tube is now the only "television" that I have any use for.
when did vegas become "family friendly"? around the same time as times square? in the 70s it was more of an adult playground, but by sometime in the 90s that was no longer the case. can anyone pinpoint it?
@wallofvideo Vegas went to hell (or became family friendly) when the Mirage Hotel opened up. If my mind serves me correctly, the Mirage opened sometime in 1988 or 1989. After that, all sorts of "mega" hotels started popping up with theme parks and other ridiculous things designed to attract families.
@longlivethe80s thanks for that detailed answer. yes, late 80s sounds about right. where in the us could someone go these days to find an atmosphere comparable to that of 70s vegas?
@wallofvideo Unfortunately, I can't think of one. I think the sad reality is that times have changed. Unless you're hanging out at a place where the majority of the patrons are older, you can't find a place with a similar atmosphere.
I know that there is a shot of the Vegas Vic neon cowboy in the closing sequence to this show, but was there another 70s TV series which also had it in the opening titles?
Mostly. But Bart never became the star of the show.
When Moonlighting was dying, as the stars were feuding, the parts and storylines for Viola and Agnes got bigger and bigger to hide smaller parts for Cyb and Bruce.
I'm not sure about this,but Vegas Second Season Volume 1 was released back in December; and Volume 2 is schedule to be released in March 2011 if the date doesn't changed, and this is the thing i don't understand why do they keep releasing shows in Volumes instead of putting the entire season on dvd?
@somewhatlongdong He died a few years ago from cancer. He was young, 55. RIP Robert, you hunky handsome man. I knew I was gay the moment I saw you on Vega$ at the age of 13. :)
Truly a great classic. I got several episodes recorded on tape when FX aired it back in the late '90s. Vegas has changed significantly since the show came out. Back in '78 hotel casinos were stilled runned by the mobs. Then it all changed in the early 80s when the mobsters were either killed or arrested. Then later in the '80s began a new era of corporations when the Mirage opened in 1989.
Dan Tanna has the hippest pad in T.V. land (Except maybe the Green Hornet) He lives just north of Circus Circus and is the only cat who can pull off patio furniture indoors. Remember the Cinzano umbrella. I Love You Dan Tanna
How about a remake of Vegas with Dan Tanna's daughter (a series with a strong female lead would be refreshing) investigating her father's death and driving and/or restoring the classic Thunderbird. One hook for the series would be....who is the mlother?
I remember my dad used to INSIST that Phyllis Davis was black and i so disagreed, we debated about this for almost an hour one night, didn't argue but he had me wondering myself if she was, i think she played on The Colbys in later years, does anyone still know if she's still alive? Pretty lady. :)
@ALBIE58 Oh DAMN! Your brother is/was so lucky. I always liked Robert Urich who was a helluva an actor. He was one actor I always wanted to meet. You're right about his passing too soon. Seems the best always do. His best work was defenetly Spenser For Hire though. Besides I'm more of a Mustang man than a T-bird one. ;)
@4gnrations07 , well one thing I notice when watching these older shows on hulu and other channels is the quality of acting and writing that each show offered. A few years back there was an oldies channel on cable that was cool but folks got tired of the concept and stopped watching. Maybe after 15 years of boring reality TV the older stuff will make a comeback.
We are starting to see it now of show being redone for the new upcoming season. We can send hulu a request for VEGA$, jtv
Seeing this is bringing back great memories of growing up in the AAron spelling and stephen j cannell era's of great tv. stuff now is garbage compared to those times. just the theme songs alone ruled. God bless dvd's and a good memory.
Where are the entertaining TV shows that were actually FUN to watch? Where are the gorgeous fabulous actors like Robert Urich & funny ones like Bart Braverman?
Where are the cool themes? Just about every TV show of the 70's & 80's had great themes & great music...Mission Impossible, Charlie's Angels, Hawaii 5-0, Hart to Hart, Vegas, Space 1999, Police Woman, S.W.A.T., Knight Rider...I could go on!
You can catch Phyllis Davis on the pilot episode of Knight Rider!
This is from either the 2nd or 3rd season since it did not include TONY CURTIS in the cast as Mr. Roth, the cool owner of one of the hotels on the strip and was a kinda pal to Urich's Dan Tanna.
What happened to great shows like this? CSI, NCIS, etc. Gimmie a break!!! And when we FINALLY get a halfway decent show like "Las Vegas" with James Caan NBC (or "No Brain Content") cancels it.
@warmtube ncis isn't that bad. it's really about the only show on now that i watch. i watched law and order for years, but not the last season or so, i miss jerry orbach. but you're right, most of tv now is crap.
@warmtube i agree, i don't care for those blood and guts tv shows, i hope no kids watch it at night, it would give them nightmares, and i'm with you on "Las Vegas", wasn't an avid watcher but it was a good show, but regardless there is just NO replacement for these classic 70's cop shows, THE BEST!!
Ryan Seacrest is a brainless no-talent idiot--He can never COMPARE to robert urich--Seacrest has no class-and is a fucking CLOWN--and anyway; Robert Urich was so good-looking--tell me--WHAT THE FUCK IS A RYAN SEACREST?!
i don't even watch network tv anymore--what is WRONG with the people who run network tv--don't they know there are audiences of many different age groups--THAT DON'T WANT TO WATCH FUCKING REALITY SHOWS--COME ON! hell, i will settle for shows like VEGAS with robert urich on late night tv--Not that diluted crap with Josh Dumal--or whatever his name is--would it help if i get a petition signed to get to ABC;NBC;or CBS; and I am not talking about cable!
I used to watch this with my family when I was growing up in London. The intro, though I remembered some bits but not all, now all comes back to memory, after 27 years! Sometimes you want leave this kind of memory in the wonderful past.
I didn't know Robert Urich had died! Very sad as I too enjoyed this series & always remember him driving his car into his garage which was also part of his front room!
Yeah one of the coolest around. Robert Urich was made for that role. Brings back a flood of memories, I loved that show. I just wanna know why fx quit playin all them tv shows from back then. I loved that channel back then, and watched it all the time. Now I don't!! RIP...Robert Urich, you are missed!
One of the coolest, slickest, stylist shows to come out of the mid 70's. The theme, still rocks. Robert Urich was the man, and no one else could play Dan Tana as good as he did. Today, Vegas is much more bigger, and more glamorous, but is missing a new, tough, cool PI. To have a remake, you got to have an iconic actor in the making. There is no one like that right now, or is there...?
"Iconic actor in the making?" Where did you get that? Have you been watching any of the Emmy-Winning cop shows the past 15 years? You realize how many top-caliber actor's are in those shows? Oh, sorry...I didn't realize you were living in the 70's or in a vacuum.
Keep in mind...it's only the first half of the first season, which means you're getting only the pilot and the first 11 episodes. Better than nothing, I suppose.
I know Paramount has gotten complaints in the past about splitting seasons into two volumes but they have gone back (with other series) and made a complete season edition available to consumers so I'm sure they'll do the same thing with Vegas.
All of the series that they've done with the two volume seasons are shows they acquired from Spelling Entertainment...I wonder if that has some bearing?
I'm not sure about that thought since the first season of Hotel was not split into two volumes. Jake and the Fatman (a Viacom production) was split into two volumes so it depends on the series itself. One reason could be residuals and what gets paid out to participants. Issuing two volumes can spread out those payments over time.
And The Invaders' sets are the full seasons as well...well, the first season had only 17 episodes, so it really wouldn't work that well now, would it? LOL!
Ahh... Back when shows had real title sequences to gear you up for the action to come.
Nowadays, they have as short an intro as possible, or even none at all, because they're so terrified of the audience losing interest within 60 seconds and switching over.
This was an awesome show! Action. Investigation. Gambling. Romance. Cool cars. Hot women. And it's litered with historical footage of Las Vegas. I wish someone would put this up on the net so that it could be shared all over the world.
I can't stop watching this video. Every night, after I've had a beer or two and I am ready to journey down nostalgia lane, this is one of my stops. God I love it. I just wish that the really clear version that just to be posted was still here.
oldschooldogy ' Michael Conrad was a prime time double emmy award winner 1981,1982 who lead the role of Sgt Phil Esterhaus in Hill Street Blues he started the roll call on every episode with the tag" Lets Be Careful Out There"He was of a stocky frame,going bald and stood over 6.3" tall he was in most american tv shows from 1955 to 1983 inc Hawaii Five O, Vega$ and The Incredible Hulk he died November 22 1983 age 55 from urethal cancer
Thanks for the response. I miss this golden-age of television. Even though I was born in 1977 and was a young child when most of these shows were made, I'm stuck in this time period. Most of today's shows are so violent, sexual, and full of garbage, that I can't force myself to watch them. I miss the shows of the 70's and 80's.
Robert Urich and Greg Morris both gone too young too soon along with Bill Bixby John Ritter Michael Conrad Telly Savales heroes of 70s tv all sadly missed
What did Michael Conrad star in? I am 32 years old and I know everyone that you named from the great shows that they starred in such as Vegas, The Incredible Hulk, Three's Company, and Kojak, but I have never heard of Michael Conrad.
The video or episode left out Tony Curtis as "Roth" and Antonio Fargas as "Huggy Bear"...I never missed that show..that was the true Vegas..todays Vegas is like disneyland in the desert.
Vintage - Dan Tanna - Robert Urich - legend - as well as the drive in garage/living room, didn't Dan walk after his adversaries as they sprinted off in panic - and didn't he somehow always catch them? Brilliant.
The old Tanna home near Circus on the strip was knocked down about 10 years ago..The Strip is almost unrecognizable from this program, just 30 years ago...Great and fun show, with plenty of plot leaks..Urich was one of my tv heroes..
This show rocked, Robert Urich rocked, the theme song.. .rocked, and his warehouse house where he could drive his car right into his living room rocked. Watched this with my dad as a kid.
Can't help but think of poor Bob Urich going so soon; right in his prime. Those that knew him said he was a great guy.

I used to watch this with my family when I was growing up in London. The intro, though I remembered some bits but not all, now all comes back to memory, after 27 years! Sometimes you want leave this kind of memory in the wonderful past.

I didn't know Robert Urich had died! Very sad as I too enjoyed this series & always remember him driving his car into his garage which was also part of his front room!

Yeah one of the coolest around. Robert Urich was made for that role. Brings back a flood of memories, I loved that show. I just wanna know why fx quit playin all them tv shows from back then. I loved that channel back then, and watched it all the time. Now I don't!! RIP...Robert Urich, you are missed!

One of the coolest, slickest, stylist shows to come out of the mid 70's. The theme, still rocks. Robert Urich was the man, and no one else could play Dan Tana as good as he did. Today, Vegas is much more bigger, and more glamorous, but is missing a new, tough, cool PI. To have a remake, you got to have an iconic actor in the making. There is no one like that right now, or is there...?

"Iconic actor in the making?" Where did you get that? Have you been watching any of the Emmy-Winning cop shows the past 15 years? You realize how many top-caliber actor's are in those shows? Oh, sorry...I didn't realize you were living in the 70's or in a vacuum.

Keep in mind...it's only the first half of the first season, which means you're getting only the pilot and the first 11 episodes. Better than nothing, I suppose.

I know Paramount has gotten complaints in the past about splitting seasons into two volumes but they have gone back (with other series) and made a complete season edition available to consumers so I'm sure they'll do the same thing with Vegas.
greg6363 2 years ago
All of the series that they've done with the two volume seasons are shows they acquired from Spelling Entertainment...I wonder if that has some bearing?
recordman64 2 years ago
I'm not sure about that thought since the first season of Hotel was not split into two volumes. Jake and the Fatman (a Viacom production) was split into two volumes so it depends on the series itself. One reason could be residuals and what gets paid out to participants. Issuing two volumes can spread out those payments over time.
greg6363 2 years ago
And The Invaders' sets are the full seasons as well...well, the first season had only 17 episodes, so it really wouldn't work that well now, would it? LOL!

Robert Urich - such a hunk of man who died way too young.

Ahh... Back when shows had real title sequences to gear you up for the action to come.
Nowadays, they have as short an intro as possible, or even none at all, because they're so terrified of the audience losing interest within 60 seconds and switching over.

So true.

As well as the fact they can generate more revenue with additional commercials in that 30-60 second time frame.

This was an awesome show! Action. Investigation. Gambling. Romance. Cool cars. Hot women. And it's litered with historical footage of Las Vegas. I wish someone would put this up on the net so that it could be shared all over the world.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could get this show in reruns. It's the reason I started going to Vegas back in 1979.

Thanks for the response. I miss this golden-age of television. Even though I was born in 1977 and was a young child when most of these shows were made, I'm stuck in this time period. Most of today's shows are so violent, sexual, and full of garbage, that I can't force myself to watch them. I miss the shows of the 70's and 80's.

you can call the intro "lost vegas" as almost none of the joints are left.

What did Michael Conrad star in? I am 32 years old and I know everyone that you named from the great shows that they starred in such as Vegas, The Incredible Hulk, Three's Company, and Kojak, but I have never heard of Michael Conrad.

The video or episode left out Tony Curtis as "Roth" and Antonio Fargas as "Huggy Bear"...I never missed that show..that was the true Vegas..todays Vegas is like disneyland in the desert.

Antonio Fargas played "Huggy Bear" on "Starksy and Hutch." ... A few years before "Vega$" debuted.

Vintage - Dan Tanna - Robert Urich - legend - as well as the drive in garage/living room, didn't Dan walk after his adversaries as they sprinted off in panic - and didn't he somehow always catch them? Brilliant.
ScoDeu 3 years ago 2
Yes, I remember him walking after the bad guys all the time. It used to spook them out somehow and get them to break down in a panic.
