Fortunately young and older people around the United States love to hear great tunes which will always accompany a television series or movie. Residents of Tucson AZ watch METV to hear spectacular science fiction music every Saturday evening. This station has broadcast "Lost In Space" "Space 1999" and "Star Trek" for many years. They will continue to air these unique shows until the end of time.
Towards the end of the 60's a great man named Gene Roddenberry decided to broadcast a new series which would boldly go where no man has gone before. The name of his show was called "Star Trek" and it featured an array of unusual characters who were on a mission to explore space. Mr. Bill Shatner was the star of this series and he was more than happy to work with a group of other great actors for three years. Alexander Courage conducted the sounds for this particular series.
Every person around America also like the short tunes that Alexander added to this series whenever the Captain or his crew were in some sort of danger. Nowadays younger people also whistle the "Star Trek" theme whenever they are playing adventure games or doing any other types of activities.
When "Star Trek" ended Gene Roddenberry decided to do other projects to fill up his time. He waited until the 80's before getting another musical arrangement for the series "The Next Generation." Another very special show which featured the crew of Alpha Control was called "Space 1999" and it contained some really groovy sounds.
Many of the actors playing on "Space 1999" were British and they really had no connection to the American audience at all. Luckily Barbara Bain and Martin Landau were quite popular in America since they had already starred on a series called "Mission Impossible" in the late 60's.
Composer Barry Gray made sure to give "Space 1999" an exciting intro that the viewers would not forget for a very long time. During the opening credits the audience is treated to scenes which would happen during the episode. This was the first time that a series had ever taken this approach. Even though this show only lasted for two seasons it has now become a cult classic that Americans really love and adore.
For three seasons many people tuned in to watch a series called "Lost In Space" which dealt with a family who had many adventures away from Earth. John Williams took the time to compose a great tune for the series when it first went on the air. The opening showed the actors in cartoon form for the first two years and this was also a unique approach for a brand new series. The final year of this show was completely different and even did a countdown at the show's start.
During the third season the audience members were now able to take a good look at Johnathan Harris, Marta Kristen, Billy Mummy, June Lockhart, Angela Cartwright and Guy Williams. They were all good looking people who really made a difference while starring on this show. The last season's intro was indeed exciting but it could not save the series from being canceled after twenty four shows were completed.
