Classic TV Theme: Falcon Crest (Bill Conti)

[@byronsmall8570]

my Friday nights first Dallas then Falcon Crest i miss those days it was highlight of my week

[@jenniferclark9170]

Same! My mom and I did not miss a week!

[@RelativelyBest]

I recall as a kid I'd sometimes catch episodes of Falcon Crest or Dallas on the TV. I was never good at telling them apart since I didn't get what they were about. Pretty sure I preferred this theme, though.

[@InFltSvc]

I want to go back and live it all over again. We had the best TV shows back then and lived in the last of the best decades in America..it was a party of a life time and we lived it well ……

[@lookingjust987654321]

I am 47 now. I was hoping once I had my big career going then I would get this. Had to read "who moved my cheese" cuz where is it now? Girls with tattoos on their fingers? Ugh

Dukes of Hazzard, Dallas and Falcon Crest were the CBS Friday night lineup from 1981 to 1985

[@yakeen8429]

My mum’s favourite tv programme back in the early 80s. Nobody dared to touch the remote control, including our dad when she’s watching Falcon Crest.😁😁

[@earlperson741]

AS ALWAYS..... SIMPLY BRILLIANT... 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 7 STARS!!!!!!!! "FALCON CREST"....... I MISSED SOOOOOO MUCH!.... WHAT ABOUT A PREQUEL????? CALLED "THE VINTAGE YEARS?????" I KNOW THAT WAS A NAME THEY THOUGHT OF, WAY BACK WHEN....FOR THE SERIES.... BRING BACK FALCON CREST GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE FANS NEED IT!!!!!! 😁😁😁😉😆😆😆

[@strikeleather6503]

This music is fabulous!!! I never tire of listening to it. Just seeing this series for the first time (I was a child at the time). It's brilliant! Jane Wyman as Angela Channing is terrific! And Lorenzo Lammas, totally gorgeous!!

[@FernandoPerez-fp7pd]

Aah the sound of the 80s brings my childhood back. I was 3 years old when I watched this show and now I am 44 years still love this theme

[@chrisbeaverhausen4864]

prime time sopas were the best in the 80s! The dramatic music, the cliffhangers :D 🤩😍😍😍😍

[@bryangarvey4997]

So many great theme songs from tv shows .. falcon crest dynasty Dallas hart to hart MacGyver the Colby’s .. I want to go bck where life was much simple .. and people were happier ..

[@Scatscar1985]

That fourth version is HIDEOUS.

[@KKAkuoku]

Ehh…certainly doesn’t fit here. More Miami Vice-y if anything

[@scottstrang1583]

Yep. It sucks. Symphonic version is better.

[@Capcoor]

Right? And they kept the original for the end? WTF?

[@Rich_Daniel78]

AMEN to that! That Version is an insult!!! 😞 The Original Theme will forever be a MASTERPIECE!!!

[@kossttamojaan]

will never forget this theme, it's always in the back of my mind

[@joshlight6892]

I remember Friday nights at my grandmothers growing up falling asleep to this song after the Dukes of Hazzard and Dallas went off. I don't even remember a thing about the TV show, most likely because it was a little beyond my years at the time. But the theme song stuck with me, ah memories of a simpler time.

[@johnsemanick3290]

Me too

[@johnnymason3265]

I had forgotten that Falcon Crest was the last time I had a chance to see the great Cesar Romero(the original Joker and the greatest Joker I ever saw). Thanks for the memories.

[@kali3665]

Jane Wyman remembered once that the producers wanted to introduce a new love interest for her; they started suggesting names, and when they got to Cesar Romero, she said, "Stop right there!"

[@leelaural]

one of the best tv theme songs.....to this day.

[@A711-m1d]

Absolutely my favorite TV theme music....🎼

[@RosaMariaGonzalezjimenez-lf9qt]

Que aquellos maravillosos años ,se me han saltado las lágrimas! Añoro esa época!😢

[@rohanmarkjay]

Like Dallas and Dynasty, Falcon Crest shows the lives and lifestyles of Upper Middle Class American families. Three great shows, people just wanted to live in their well off moneyed world for one hour of the week. I think thats why those shows popular in late 1970s and 1980s.

[@jamesnicholson2503]

I,used to love watching this in 82 with my late mother on HTV Wales,miss the 80s,and being with my mother and late dad.

[@kennethhuang371]

FALCON CREST. FRIDAY NIGHT AT 10:00 PM ON WBZ TV 4 BOSTON. That was a huge hit which came on right after DALLAS. Earl Hamner created a drama that is definitely NOT THE WALTONS, but it was about power and a glass of wine. JANE WYMAN, WHO HAD AN OSCAR, STARS AS ANGELA CHANNING, THE MATRIARCH OF FALCON CREST. It would last 9 wonderful years on CBS. I’d like to recall those classic dramas from the 80’s. Kenneth Huang. 2/21/24.

[@earlperson741]

I'M LOOKING AT FALCON CREST.... LATELY AGAIN...... IT'S BEEN DECADES.. STILL A GREAT SHOW... IT ALWAYS USED JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF DRAMA , LOVE, HATE....AND DESTINY. AND LET'S FACE IT..... THE REGALIA OF ANGELA"s MERCEDES KNOCK's THAT NOTHING ROLLS ROYCE, OUT OF THE BALL PARK!!!!!!!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ CBS...PLEASE... PLEASE..... BRING , " FALCON CREST " BACK!!!!!!!!!

This theme would be perfect for a medieval series, knights riding into battle, fighting the forces of evil.

Ah, the superrich of the '80's!

[@clovenhoofdragon9302]

Although Lorenzo Lamas is a certified right-wing goof, he certainly was an ultimate stallion that easily pulled me into this show. Adored Jane Wyman and Abby Dalton (RIP). Ah, memories of the '80s.

[@seaenchanted9822]

There was mystical promises of the future then, but today we see a world awakening to a truth that clarifies reality 😅

Falcon Crest had the best theme song opening

[@GMO--ge4ir]

The final season's theme - What da h🔥ll was *dat⁉️* 😩

[@joemurphy2177]

The show was running out of steam so they decided to make it look like Twin Peaks which was a big hit at the time. It didn't work.

[@markelijio6012]

Now the series' ninth and final season has coming to a powerful end in television history. Music score arranged and conducted by Patrick O' Hearn. Theme composed by Bill Conti. Enough said.

[@teddythomson8921]

RIP Angela.

Una sintonía irrepetible . Automáticamente me traslada a mi niñez. Reunía a toda la familia .

[@Teeveepicksures]

I was young so this was bedtime music

[@ThommyofThenn]

Great edit. Only thing I would have left out though is that closing shot of the bird. I realise the falcon is the shows own namesake but it looks just absurd with that headgear on. Esoecially with the floppy ears making it look more rabbit than raptor!

[@earlperson741]

I CAN'T AGREE WITH THAT THOUGHT....... IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE ART OF FALCONRY THAT HEAD MASK WAS TO KEEP THE BIRD CALM.... UNTIL WORK HAD TO BE DONE....AN FROM ANOTHER BENT... THAT DISPLAYS THAT ANGELA IS IN CONTROL OF NOT ONLY THE TRADE MARK, THE FALCON....... BUT ALSO...... " FALCON CREST " HER FAMILY'S BUSINESS...... AND.... HER LIFE😉.

[@vornamenachname5589]

[@DucNguyen0131]

Excellent job for David posting TV themes. But what we do next for David is to upload for tomorrow, "Quark" (a 1970s science fiction comedy that didn't last long on NBC) and "The Visitor" (a late 90s Fox science fiction drama from the "ID4" and "Godzilla" guys that ultimately didn't last long).

[@markc-ru4qz]

I love Lorenzo and Ana and Miss Jane Wyman!!

[@jnadle1]

Like some other Lorimar shows, the credits were videotaped as opposed to filmy in late 1986. Two shows definitely made that change-over, Dallas and Knots Landing.

[@markelijio6012]

Starting in late January 1986.

[@joemurphy2177]

I think the whole lot was video tape. The picture quality deteriorated and looked cheap. Compare the original Star Trek which looked fab on film with the next generation which looked awful.

[@markelijio6012]

@@joemurphy2177 Thanks!

[@CarlosCastro_]

When they killed off Maggie, the show lost a lot of it's audience. People were not happy with that outcome. But the show's theme music is a classic right along with that of Dynasty, The Colbys, Dallas, Hart to Hart and others.

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

She fell into a grape press, right? It was a very bad year.

[@vornamenachname5589]

if i remember correctly she drowned in th pool.@@RideAcrossTheRiver

[@vornamenachname5589]

tbh, the show became more and more bonkers plotwise after robert foxworth (chase gioberty) left.

[@ErnestCherry-n9w]

Susan who played Maggie wanted to leave they wanted her to stay but she really wanted to leave and the only way that would make sense was to kill her off.

[@SakeemaDaniels-nn4jy]

Lorenzo Lamas!❤❤❤❤

[@earlperson741]

HE WAS A VERY GOOD ACTOR..... ANYWAY....

That was the BEST opening theme of any show except Dallas. I sorely miss this shiw😢

[@pterinochilusmariausorangebabo]

Thanks 🙏

[@RelativelyBest]

This doesn't even sound like a soap opera theme. This sounds like something from an adventure movie about pirates or Robin Hood something.

[@Juliaflo]

I think that Miss Jane Wyman added a specil touch to this program.

[@dazzle1545]

It had about 4 good seasons but when Foxworth left, it went down hill.

[@antonspivack3928]

The season 9 intro was indeed soap opera-y. I liked the orchestrated theme better.

[@markelijio6012]

If I were you, I'll stick with Bill Conti's theme from 1981 to 1990.

[@teemuala-kokkila2450]

[@Lee-sv8su]

Jane Wymans wig needed credits of its own

[@JoshMaldito-y6q]

Its like Marlboro theme.

[@spuwho]

Shows like this don't exist anymore because the competition is way, way less that it was in network TV days. Syndication first run (like Lamas in Renegade) could be produced quickly and cheaply without the need of network interference or meddling. During 3 network days the competition was brutal to get a show picked for prime time. So the writing, casting and music had to be the best. With syndication (and now streaming) it doesn't have to be the best at anything. Baywatch didn't have quality dialog, 1 theme song, and the casting was single threaded because the characters were interchangeable. That is why NBC cancelled it so quickly. In syndication, it was a massive money maker. This is why you don't see shows like this anymore. They stick to police/crime/attorney procedurals because they are cheap and risk free.

[@maimadkour9946]

Very famous series shown in Egypt in 1980s

[@battlestarmarc]

Great tv theme. Good soap opera. 80's style. West coast version of Dallas.

[@kathiec1333]

I liked this show until they killed off Maggie, and too many actors got the axe.

[@bmasters1981]

@MD B If she had been killed off any other way, I would have followed it through-- locking her in the pool by having her ring caught in the drain was stupid and asinine indeed.

[@markelijio6012]

To be honest, Kathie. Susan Sullivan was fired from the series along with Margaret Ladd, Robert Foxworth, Jamie Rose, Abby Dalton, Ana-Alicia, William R. Moses, David Beecroft and Rod Taylor as well as several guest stars such as Cesar Romero, Gina Lollobrigida and Kim Novak. With the expection of Anne Archer, Celeste Holm and Dame Leslie Caron along with Dana Sparks who were very happy and pleased, but they're moving fast forward with all new projects.

[@ElJefeNLA]

Season 9 is the worst because not only of how they butchered the theme song itself along with the opening credits, but it was traumatizing when Maggie drowned and watching that animal Michael Sharpe ruin Dr. Gonzo Gates!
