Classic TV Themes: Irwin Allen and John Williams

The collaboration between Irwin Allen and up-and-coming composer John Williams is one that may have been key in the career of the man who would create the iconic score for 'Star Wars'. Not only did Williams write the themes for three of Allen's scifi shows but he also scored several episodes, their orchestral texture quite different from the jazzy music he wrote for 'Checkmate' or the light fluff of 'Bachelor Father'. However it happened, the iconic John Williams sound may have flowered in 'Star Wars' but the seed was planted in the scifi imagination of these Irwin Allen series. 00:00 'Lost in Space' - The first theme matches the onscreen graphics: futuristic but with a comic undertone. For season three Williams cranked up the excitement, opening with a musical and on-screen countdown and not letting up from there. Included are the openings for all three seasons (the first was in black and white) and closing credits for seasons two and three. 04:39 'Land of the Giants' - The 'giants' can be heard in the music with the snarling horns, but once again Williams surpassed himself with the second theme: more exciting and spectacular than the first, despite sound effects intruding. Both seasons open/close included. 07:43 'The Time Tunnel' - There was only one season but Williams certainly captured musically the concept of time travel and Project Tic-Toc. I wonder how he would have topped this had the show been renewed for another season.
