I remember being 10 years old and living in New York City when this showed debuted-around the same time my hometown New York Mets climbed into first place and eventually won it all!
Wow! I used to watch this show every Friday night back in the day. As a teenage enamored of movies, this was a fascinating look at Hollywood and film-making. And what a pulsating, high-powered theme song by David Rose! It's fantastic!
This music was my "There's life out there" awakening theme. I never missed an episode. Starstruck, definitely. I took notes. Rachel, of course, was my favorite character.
In French, the opening and closing titles, "le générique" of this series, is classically American, and is a very valid reference point in any studies of tv and its evolution, of the late 60s - early 70s feeling and theme that this gives.
He was a friend of Bob Grant(yes, the talk radio host) and his family as they were growing up in Chicago. Another tune famed by Mr. Rose is "The Stripper."
Out of all the regulars from both seasons, only the 3 starlets are alive as of Sept. 2018, they're in their 70s now. Even the young boy (see season 2 intro) is deceased.
I just locked up Gary Dubin who played Mark Grant he passed away in 2016 at 57 so sad. I remember he guest starred in several TV series over the years, Land Of The Giants, Adam 12, etc. He made his appearance on Bracken's World I think midway thought the 2nd season when his mother Marjorie Grant was killed off, and David Evens left, Leslie Neilsen assume the role of John Bracken. Yes just the three hopeful starlets are still alive.
Dennis Cole, the All-American blond kid guy, had, in fact, a son, Joseph Cole, who was murdered during a holdup attempt. (born 1961 - died 1991) Dennis Cole himself died, of thus far undetailed sources, in 2009. A significant series, with a hidden tragedy-to-come, to one of the principal actors. A poignant tv history milestone

I watched this when my parents were not around. My Dad thought it was too racy. I think it came right after another racy show Love American Style…. Also not allowed but I snuck watching it. I was only 13.
Despite being too young for the show (3rd grade), I watched Love American Style because it aired on a non-school night. It appeared on ABC Fridays at 10:00 PM (eastern), the same day and time as Bracken's World, which aired on NBC.
One of the actresses in this show claimed NBC blindsided them by abruptly cancelling it.She said it was in the top 25 ratings wise It was replaced by a piece of crap called Strange Report.
Officially, the show has not been released on DVD or via streaming to the general public. You may find a few scenes from the show if you type the title in the search bar.
Question : Why is this Entertaining , Retro , Fun to watch , Escapist , 🎭👢💋💄👄✨💅👑💍💼👸🏰🛎🖼🖲🛍🍾💳🕵❤👙💎👠👠👓📷🏌🎩🏎💰💰🎸🎶🎺🎤💊💊💊💊💊🍺🍸🍸🍸🍷🍷🍸🍹🏙🏙🏙📸🛥🛳👜💖👗👁°👁 👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 entire, uncut series ⭐ NOT out on DVD📀💿💡🔔🔨 for purchase🤔👍👍💸🚨 - ❓ - Please❓ Anyone❓❗❓😞💡🔔🔨💰💰💰💰💰🔮🙄😒
If your talking just about time slots, yes Bracken's World was in the same time slot as Stark Trek. In 1969, NBC also cancelled one other hour-long series called "The Outsider" with Darren McGavin. In the fall, The Bold Ones and Then Came Bronson also premiered on NBC. So if it wasn't Bracken's World airing Fridays at 10pm Eastern/Pacific, it could've also been the other two shows mentioned. The decision to cancel a show and the decision to fill the time slot with a new show are two completely separate things. I certainly understand the passion of many Star Trek fans. I, myself enjoyed the original series. At the same time, I think it's just a coincidence and nothing more. Thanks for responding.
I remember this show, vaguely, watching a few episodes as a kid. This isn't the theme I associate with it in my head, though. There was a slow, kind of dreamy song that started, "In this world, there are many worlds." And went on from there. I'm sure it had to be this show and it was a great song. Maybe just for the pilot? (Hah! Found it: ruclips.net/video/PLAvoVtvQMQ/видео.html )
I guess we'll agree to disagree on which theme each one prefers. The David Rose-composed theme was from the first season. The link you posted, which was for season 2, was also composed by David Rose with lyrics by Marilyn and Alan Bergman and performed by The Lettermen. Season 2 open and close: ruclips.net/video/Rk24V_CwQo4/видео.html Thanks for writing.
Never forgot that great theme by David Rose. And the spinning camera lens intro.

David Rose created one of the greatest TV themes EVER
Exciting and Dynamic theme by the superb, Mr.
David Rose also in the second season with lyrics by the great Alan Bergman & Marilyn Bergman.
I loved this show and the theme music.

Great show. One of my favorite 60s shows. Love the opening theme
Later tonight after your local news don't miss the tonight show starring Johnny Carson, right here on NBC!
Gosh there really was a time when people had taste, class and style... and they even had indoor plumbing and electricity.
I watched this every week, I loved it.

I love this series too and watched every episode

David Rose theme music. Why don't TV shows of today have great music like this? I know the answer so don't tell me.
Terrific theme! Love this show (:
Dave Fuller
David Rose & Lionel Newman
@Scott Bromberg I totally agree. I hated what they did to the theme in season 2. I keep hoping for a DVD release
@Scott Bromberg I think the best shot we have is Shout Factory. They released some Peyton Place sets
Beautiful
Wonderful...wonderful theme ...

I watched because of Dennis Cole...lol
0:12 through 0:17 or so... All of a sudden, the *4:30** MOVIE* intro comes to mind!
Excellent opening theme
Nova was in this one lol
WHAT !!???!!! This wasn't Arron Spelling ??? Thanks, for the post.

My mother like the Lettermen
I do not remember this show. Nice theme though. Am surprised that there were no black characters among the regular cast.
