  • what is that theme music from Arthur Hailey's WHEELS? who composed it?

  • @newscaster13 I'm not sure what the title of the music is but I think it is a library cue; it was also used at the beginning of the famous "High Flight" film narrated by William Conrad

  • @newscaster13 If you are asking for the composer of the theme of the mini-series "Wheels" (which is not to be heard in this promo clip), thats Morton Stevens.

  • Anything with Rock Hudson can't be all bad. Also, I want "Ford Fever". Those cars look stunning.

  • When Wheels first aired on NBC in May 1978, it was a ratings success, but when it was reran the following year on a weekly basis, the first 2 parts did so badly in the ratings, the final 3 parts were, well, "stripped-down" for a patched-together "conclusion" that following week.

    P.S: That's "Sail Away" in that news tease.

  • @1goldenroad I think it was around Summer 1978 WWJ 4 Detroit became WDIV 4 Detroit.

  • I assume this is what is now WDIV?
