My favorite TV series Soundtracks - Volume 1


As we all know a Soundtrack is a musical accompaniment for a Film, Play (e.g. a Broadway Play) or TV series. This week
we look at 2 of my favorite songs from television.

Before we start out, it's important to remember that listening to the music (of that era) is one of the ONLY ways a younger
person can know what it "felt like" to be around in the 70s.

1st - Room 222 - I watched this as a kid every week. Because I was so young at the time, i have no idea why i loved
the show so much or what it was about or anything. it's kind of funny but the only thing i remember is that i loved it.
Oh yea - i think it was about school teachers. But it was sort of hip for that era. seeing young people on TV was a new thing.
in the previous era, most of the TV personalities had grey hair. (nothing wrong with grey hair).
Room 222 cast:
    Lloyd Haynes as Mr. Pete Dixon
    Denise Nicholas as Miss Liz McIntyre
    Michael Constantine as Mr. Seymour Kaufman
    Karen Valentine as Miss Alice Johnson.

The YouTube channel Matt White gets all the credit for this segment, because this item was so hard to find.



For the next tv show tune, we'll go back a little further to a show called Bridget Loves Bernie.
This one goes way back. This one is so hard to find, the YouTube channel is TVRewind and gets all the credit
for this segment. be sure to listen to the vocal version. which is followed up by an orchestrated version
(that's my favorite of the 2 - but I love them both)

Bridget Loves Bernie cast:
    Meredith Baxter
    David Birney


Please Visit Matt White and TVRewind on YouTube, They have lots more entertaining vids.
