Editorial Reviews
People
The remarkable thing about this retrospective is that, while it celebrates television, the snippets of audio are potently evocative, from the sonorous voice of Walter Cronkite to the unmistakable theme music for such shows as Mission: Impossible, The Jackie Gleason Show, The Twilight Zone, and Gunsmoke.

I LIKE IT, AND I WOULD LIKE THERE TO BE A SEQUAL.......2005-07-05

I really enjoy listening to this album and they must make a sequal to this called "CBS at 75" since the network celebrated it's 75th aniversary, and I would like these themes on the next album:

1.Magnum P.I.
2.Mister Ed
3.The NFL Today(One of the themes that it had throughout it's run, at least)
4.Newhart
5.Falcon Crest
6.Maude
7.Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C.
8.Survivor
9.The Amazing Race
10.C.S.I.
11.CBS Evening News
12.Peticoat Junction
13.The Munsters
14.The Honeymooners
15.The Price is Right
16.CBS Movie theme from the 80's
17.CBS News Sunday Morning
18.King of Queens

Those are just 18 picks of mine. Anything else is OK too.

Don't need it.......2002-05-08

If you have the "TV Toons" collection, you don't need this.
It's that simple.

A Rehash of Lousy Copies.......2002-02-05

I agree with the music fan from Dearborn, Mi. It is a re-hash of a lot of crummy remakes and poorly recorded originals. I recorded Rawhide and Gilligan's Island off my TV set with better sound, as well as the original and superior versions of the Twilight Zone and Wild Wild West (with a cool guitar riff, not this Mantovani styled remake). If you really don't care about these type of things, then this is the disc for you. Avoid this if you are a true television theme aficionado.

What! No Magnum P.I.?.......2000-02-23

If I'm not mistaken, Magnum P.I. aired on CBS in the 1980s - yet, it isn't on this CD. Thank goodness they managed to remember Dukes of Hazzard - too bad they left off the "yeeeeeeee-haawww" at the end. Oh well, can't have it all, right? :( Overall, not too bad.

TV FANS DREAM!.......1999-10-18

Any fan of tv needs this cd. I saw a previous listener lambasted this cd, what he/she said was untrue. While some of the songs may have been redone (VERY few), they are either to a) make them longer, or b) bring the sounds up to par with the others. Some of the original recordings would just not have held up. This cd even includes a rare rendition of the infamous All In The Family theme sung by Carroll O'Connor and Jean Stapleton with additional lyrics. The only notable songs left out from the CBS collection are Newhart (82-90) and Maude. The Golden Palace would have also been nice, but it is still a wonderful cd.
