    TVC 654.1: Part 2 of a conversation that began last week with music journalist and music historian Jon Burlingame (Music for Prime Time: A History of American Television Themes and Scoring). Jon’s latest book, Dreamsville: Henry Mancini, Peter Gunn, and Music for TV Noir, is a combination history of Peter Gunn (NBC/ABC, 1958-1961) on television; biography of Grammy Award-winning and Academy Award-winning composer Henry Mancini; and discography of all of the original music that Henry Mancini composed for both Peter Gunn and Mr. Lucky (CBS, 1959-1960) and the soundtrack albums that accompanied both series. Topics this segment include the pivotal role that Alan Livingston, then head of programming for NBC, played in releasing Mancini’s music for Peter Gunn as a soundtrack album, how Mancini handpicked many of the musicians who recorded with him on both Peter Gunn and Mr. Lucky, including John Williams and Bob Bain.

    TVC 654.3: Music journalist Jon Burlingame (Music for Prime Time, Dreamsville: Henry Mancini, Peter Gunn, and Music for TV Noir) talks to Ed about the strange, but true broadcast history of Mr. Lucky (CBS, 1959-1960), including how the ill-conceived mandate from the show’s sponsor, Lever Brothers, to change the concept of Mr. Lucky midseason ultimately drove producer Blake Edwards to remove his name from the series.
