The Education of Max Bickford - Opening Theme Songs

Here are two opening themes for The Education of Max Bickford starring Richard Dreyfuss which ran for only one season from September 23, 2001 June 2, 2002.

Oscar winner Richard Dreyfuss made his long-awaited weekly TV series bow in CBS' weekly, 60-minute The Education of Max Bickford. In the tradition of Dreyfuss' theatrical feature Mr. Holland's Opus, the series focuses on an irascibly liberal-minded but rigidly tradition-bound professor of literature at a prestigious women's college. Passed over for a promotion in favor of his former student (and lover) Andrea Haskell (Marcia Gay Harden), Max Bickford (Richard Dreyfuss) begins to wonder if his 23 years of steadfast academic service were truly worth it. All but deserted by his best friend Steve -- who has been reinvented as "Erica" (Helen Shaver) after a sex change -- and his Gen-X daughter Lyla (Katee Sackhoff), who happens to attend the college where Max teaches, our hero finds himself drawing closer to his 13-year-old son Lester (Eric Ian Goldberg), a chip off the old block if ever there was one. The producers describe the series as "a drama about a man who realizes life has passed him by and has to re-examine a lot of his assumptions."

Thanks for posting this, I may have to revisit the show. It's been such a long time since I have seen it, but I remember it being a very sensitive, detailed and intelligent show.

Your welcome! Thanks for stopping by for the view! I loved this show and was sad to see it only last one season. They touched on so many great subjects on this show it was refreshing to watch! The cast was great also..

it's too bad this show was cancelled. it wasn't popular because it was sensitive, detailed and intelligent, unlike the other drivel that is on the airwaves then and now.
