[net.tv] Scarecrow and Mrs. King

I have no proof, but I am almost positive, from just listening, that
the theme from SaMK must have been written by the same person who
did "Lost in Space".  Can any one verify or unverify this supposition?

The theme to "The Scarecrow and Mrs. King" doesn't sound like Lost in
Space to me.  However, I'm glad you brought it up.  If CBS doesn't ruin
this show by having the Scarecrow and Mrs. King fall into a romance, or
having them go off and do incredible spy missions (on the order of James
Bond or Luke and Laura) the show could acutally become winning and stay
on for a few years.  Unlike some other shows that have bitten the dust
(Two Marriages, sadly) TSaMK has a fairly young youth cast (Amanda
King's two boys) and the characters of Lee and Amanda haven't yet been
fully explored (ie. Amanda's boyfriend, Lee's attachments etc.).

Youth in TV shows has always been a plus, because the show is able to
retain a certain consistency over the years as the kids grow up.  I fear
for "Family Ties", which is currently enjoying some success, but what's
going to happend to the show when Alex goes to college?

According to recent discussions in net.movies the composer of the music
for LiS was Johnny Williams, now better known as John Williams composer
of the Star Wars theme etc.
