Went to the video store and asked if they stocked any of the MI television shows. The young clerk answered, "It's never been made into a TV show, only the movies." I smiled and walked away figuring Netflix would be a better bet.
I had this original vinyl until a flood in my dad's basement destroyed my album collection. I'd had those albums since I was a kid and I really miss them. I collected the themes from all my fave TV shows, but this album didn't have a bad cut on it (well, maybe Cinnamon's theme. Sorry Barb.) Glad someone knows what the REAL theme sounds like. Check out "Wide Willy", a cut from this album definitely worth a listen!
Remember my older brother bought this album. This was the only song I played on it. One day it developed a scratch (I don't know how). Somehow big bro knew who to look for. He wanted me to pay for that album. Trying to hide my change from him was a "Mission: Impossible".
@servaran Lalo Schifrin for many smart people represents the american dream. Being from Argentina, He had a musical background so hard to beat since he studied classical music in France. The level in France was very high even if you compare with USA during certain time remember the great film film of the 60s starred for Paul Newman and Sidney Poitier "Paris Blues" (1960) where Paul Newman as the musician character he played found difficult to stay in France. Schifrin gave knowledge to USA.
I've got this version, Actually it's the best version. Somebody came up with a version that keeps repeating 30 seconds into the tune , It sounds lame.
I used to stay up late to watch this show as a kid when it was on the air. Used to record the soundtrack off the TV with the same model tape recorder used on the show. Great memories.

Anyone else notice that this version of the theme is in 5/4 while the remake's version is in 4/4? Why did they remove the fifth beat?

@MementoMario So people "can dance to it." The words in parentheses should be said in a whiny teenager tone.

I like this song and show when it was on TV and I still think it's better and more suspenseful that similar programs on TV today.
