The bridge in the TPIR theme was used to great effect behind the ticket plug for many years:
Fun to see a bunch of those back-to-back, and to hear that alternate orchestration of the bridge. I wonder why/when they switched to the other tune, whose cue-name I can never remember.
More, though, I'm amazed to hear Johnny's readings of that ticket copy, with the odd emphasis on "see," which seemed to get hit even harder as time went on. Wouldn't it have made more sense to emphasize "IN PERSON"? Arguably you're going to SEE a better show on TV--but you're only going to get called as a contestant if you are THERE.
