[@alexanderwyllie9909]

Universal had so many great shows back then and the best composers to give the shows style !

At 0:42, the arrangement reveals just how beautiful it really is...

Love Mcmillian and Wife. So enjoyable. Great chemistry. Sally was so fun.

Me Too..

Thank you so much for getting the full theme intro. Love it ! So 70’s . Mac & Sally had the best chemistry of TV couples bar non !

[@Mryrhodesian]

Agreed. I have the full series on DVD. I have been through the 40 episodes about 3 or 4 times. never get tired of it and I love the theme song.

Susan recalls Rock fondly in interviews; she talks about them being reunited years later at an awards show or something.

Omg, this was one of my favorites shows growing up...I loved the theme song

[@freddiemac1438]

Happy days they seemed to be!!

Do not forget Nancy Walker 😊 BEST housekeeper

[@therapsheet8403]

Nancy Walker didn't appear in this pilot film, though. Her debut as part of the cast came in the first regular series episode, "Murder by the Barrel" (September 29, 1971).

And ! Dr. Smith from Lost in Space! I went to the SF Gas Building where the party was filmed, they know the pilot was filmed here and are very nice about letting you see it.

I noticed the "HAIGHT-ASHBURY" sign. Remember how recent all that Hippie-era stuff was, when this was made. Another era, folks.

[@donarthiazi2443]

Loved this show almost as much as _Columbo._ But when you heard the _NBC Mystery Movie_ theme come on it meant your 1) Weekend was up. 2) Bedtime, unless your folks were in a REALLY lenient mood. 3) Back to school in the morning... *Ugh!!*

Susan Saint James was on the "Name of the Game" prior Drama with Tony Franciosa, Gene Barry

[@uofm4me1]

Gosh I was 6 and loved this theme so much. I used to dance to it!

[@malcolmpalmer569]

Cozi TV needs to air Season 1 episodes ASAP.

[@chuckfrost5624]

The show was somewhat routine. What made the show work was the San Francisco location, which also worked so well in the Steve McQueen movie, "BULLITT". The other 2 very important factors, the beautiful theme music by jerry Fielding, and the great chemistry between Rock Hudson and Susan St. James. I should mention the voice of Susan St. James. Wow, what a voice.

[@donarthiazi2443]

Nancy Walker also had a lot to do with the success of the show. She was just perfect in it.

[@chuckfrost5624]

@@donarthiazi2443 Nancy Walker was a wonderful actress, she made it look so easy. Nancy had a street smart type of quality. I bet she had a lot of interesting stories to tell about show business.

[@donarthiazi2443]

@@chuckfrost5624 Good comment, that sounds exactly right!

[@chuckfrost5624]

@@lyndarichards7778 Lynda, I agree. The chemistry between Elizabeth Taylor and Rock Hudson was wonderful. I think the best leading lady for Rock was Doris Day. They had something special in the way of chemistry.

When SF was beautiful.

[@Laceykat66]

I LIKE the Hallmark Mystery movies, but they are not quite up to the quality of the NBC Mystery Movies. They made it look so simple back then.

[@johnbatzko9342]

Loved the theme and I also liked the Wayne Fitzgerald title sequence, with Sally and Mac over the San Francisco scenery. About a dozen years later, Fitzgerald revamped the opening of the soap opera One Life to Live - note the similarities! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXjVc6qvp8xrgJI
