my alltime favorite game show was "to tell the truth" with bud collier as host. the theme song is always in my head.

2:25 to 4:35 is by far the greatest theme of TTTT. It has a beautiful sound and pace and was timed perfectly with the guests on the show. Kudos to Bud Collyer and all the panelists during the first 10 years of the show.

4:28--I don't think this part was used on the air in the Bud Collyer years, but it should've been--perhaps as the contestants exited the stage after each game.

Being born in '66 and growing up in the 70's, the theme I remember ,naturally, is the one from the 1969-1978 series with Gary Moore. It was brought back for the later 90's season ,which I missed. I think they should bring the 69-78 theme back for the new series. To me, it's as natural to the series as the late 60's to early 2000's 'Hockey Night In Canada' theme.

I was born in 1956, so my earliest recollection of TTTT was the second version, which I knew very well. I actually don't remember watching the syndicated 69-78 series, but I must have, because I remember that theme and the incidental music used on those shows. As much as I liked the 61-67 theme, there is no question that the 69-78 is the best--I can't get this out of my head. As far as the bah, bah, bah, check out Mason Williams's vocal version of Baroque-a-nova for possible inspiration. Soooo late '60s. Also notice the syncopation and odd time signatures. In the later versions they extended measures to make it 4/4 throughout--probably to make it easier to play. Also, I have always loved the sweet harmony and sound of the '60s and '70s. For some reason, pretty sounding music is considered uncool and unsophisticated and therefore the need to jazz up the theme and add dissonance for later versions---not my taste.

I disagree with the year Bud Collier died Bud did not make it to 1970, he died in 1968, his last words to Mark Goodson re: hosting the new/ syndicated version of TTTT....." I don't feel I'm up to it" or something to that measure, shortly after that, he died from a circulatory ailment. Bud was a very hard working man. and very spiritual man.. Bud was up for anything, from the radio voice of Superman in the 1940s animated series to host of TTTT for a good 12 years till the game show closed Only lived to be 61 years of age, gone way too soon....

This was right long before Bud Collyer ever did the voice of 'Batman' for the children's CBS Saturday morning cartoon series. Since I like Batmite much better than Batman's dog Ace. I even Google searched for the Batmite deviantarts. I also wonder whatever has happened to Bud Collyer? I just haven't checked. Some public spectacles' deaths have completely flown under the radar. ✔️ ✅️ ☑️ ✔️ 😀

No...... Bud Collier was the voice of Superman in the animated shorts, the radio show and the 1960s animated series. Olan Soule was the voice of Batman in the 60s and into Super Friends. Adam West was the voice on The New Adventures of Batman and then eventually replaced Soule on Super Friends.
