Game Show Music Tidbit

[Ian Wallis]

For example, the episode of Laverne & Shirley in which they went on The Dating Game used the actual music from the show. Therefore, Chuck Barris is credited with having written "Laverne & Shirley BG Cues".

And the "blooper" in that (if you will) is that they used some of the late '70s cues, which was either still in production at the time, or had just ended production.  "Laverne and Shirley" was set in the mid '60s by that time.  Oh well...I guess only us "purists" would ever notice

Three years on I've had a "whaddya know?" moment. Various sources list "Marlyn Dorren Hall" as a composer of various pieces of game show music. Leave it to Google to set me straight. I entered "Marlyn Dorren Hall" and it asked me if I meant "Marilyn Doreen Hall". I clicked on the link and learned that Marilyn is actress Joanna Gleason's mother, which would make her Mrs. Monty Hall. Whaddya know? Here is her discography on TVPMM:

Monty's oral history remains a fascinating watch and can be found somewhere on the web.

Must be a slow night on Skin-a-max if we're watching anyone's oral anything.

Chris,

You do know that the Monday Night Football theme is credited to B. Prickett, don't you?
