Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Thanks for the correction. Hey, that's another option too. Mark Goodson could have used Bob Cobert to compose the CS theme. Since Cobert did the 1963-67 Password theme for Goodson, he's always available to do the music, instead of Score Productions.

Here's another interesting question. Was there ever a time when two or more game shows used the same theme simultaneously?

The Family Channel's interactive game shows from spring 1994...Boggle, Shuffle, and Jumble.

They could have also used the Mindreaders theme, which was high energy and generic enough, although I don't know if it was written in 1978. It was also used for Puzzlers in 1980.

The only theme song I know that was used simultaneously was Feud's theme. It was a car cue on Price during Feud's first run right?

I think so. Not quite the exact same arrangement, I don't think, though.

Yours truly and a certain TPiR fan on this board think that the MGHSH cue started on TPiR around 1983 or 1984, which would coincide with MGHSH's run.

I'd be interested in seeing documentation, because I could swear that it didn't hit TPiR until MGHSH ended.

(Easy enough to prove one way or the other. When did Super Ball debut?)

That far back? Hmm. MGHSH couldn't have been the only cue it used, then.

Feburary 3, 1981, to be exact.

/golden-road.net can be useful.

So how is the typical GS theme composed?? Does the composer actually see the show, or know about it, when dreaming up a tune? Or do they have catchy little ditties stored up for just such an occasion, and the producers go through a tape of possible tunes?

Just wondering...
[/quote]

Very likely they've been told about the show, given an idea of the style, maybe even seen set sketches. That's not to say that a composer then goes home and writes music based on that information--more likely s/he goes to the trunk and pulls out some ideas and polishes up the one(s) that seem most promising and submits them to the producer.

How well do you think the music used in the late 1970s for Beat The Clock would've worked for Card Sharks?

I could swear there was a playing from '82 that used the Starcrossed piece to open the game (using the game's standard intro) that is/was on the Internets.

I would have no idea. It's not the sort of thing I keep track of. We have other people for that.

It wasn't...it used Starcrossed for two or three years.
