The theme song by Jerry Goldman is in 7/4 time signature, highly unusual as most theme songs are in 4/4 time, except for mission impossible is in 5/4, and Mannix is in 3/4.
Whatever the 4, I loved the theme, and more importantly, I loved the show. Still do. I wish I had gone to a high school with the quality and sense of purpose of Walt Whitman High.
I believe both "Mission Impossible" and "Mannix" themes were written by Latin musicians. Given that Latin music is usually based around clave rhythms, could that be a factor in the unique structure of these themes?
16:12 - the very first acting job of ANTHONY GEARY, who would later be best known as Luke Spencer from General Hospital. There was also an appearance by DABNEY COLEMAN in this episode.
This is from a later season. "Choose One & They Lived Happily/Unhappily Ever After" is the title of this 1970 episode. Can you add more of these to your channel? The only episodes I see are from season 1. Thank you for posting this one.
Unfortunately I only have the ones that feature Michael Lembeck that I posted for my friend who loves him so much. I thank you for your kind comment though.
Now I see him. He was the student named Lee who threw the skeleton out of the window towards the end of the episode. I see he was on ONE DAY AT A TIME, and then he later became a director.
And also in this episode is a young Tony Geary as the boy Tom who wants back into school. At the end of the '70's he will rise to prominence as Luke Spencer on the soap opera General Hospital.
The vice-principal could make a perfect sidekick to Leslie Nielsen in Police Files. His style was so authoritarian back then, but the Zucker Brothers movies have changed how we interpret that tone.
This show was ahead of its time.

The guy in the red shirt at 10:50 is John David Carson who played "Ponce" in "Pretty Maids All in a Row" in 1971.

Thanks for the quick reply. Now I will have to go to IMDB and find out who Michael Lembeck is!
