    Personally, I liked Chad Everett with his gorgeous eyes and nice body. James Brolin as Dr. Kiley always looked like he never washed his hair. Plus his ears looked too big. I just wish my doctors could look as nice as Drs. Gannon and Kiley :-)

    Yes, Lalo Schifrin composed this theme which, if I’m not mistaken, was not used in the opening credits until the second season of the series – though Schifrin’s involvement with “Medical Center” went as far back to his scoring of its pilot, “U.M.C.”.

    As kids we watched this because there was nothing else on. We saw “adult” shows with “adult” themes. Now it is all geared to the under 20 crowed.

    This is the show that got me into medicine.

  22. What a spectacular …
    What a spectacular theme!!! I remember sitting in front of the TV as a kid, watching this opening, then going off to bed. I can’t remember much about the show itself, but the theme is second to none!

    for all you trivia buffs, here’s a little bit of info. The minimoog and hammond organ parts of the theme were played by james Hooker. You can google the name and get more info on his music. Also he has some postings on youtube also.

    another great ’70s show buried in vaults…all these channels and no one can play reruns of old stuff like this?
