\"\"<\/a>About a year and a half ago I posted<\/span><\/a> that I’d love to find the opening to the sixties tv show “T.H.E. CAT.” <\/span>I hadn’t seen the show since it originally aired in 1966-1967<\/span>. I was 8 years old <\/span>at the time and thought T.H.E. Cat<\/span> was the man. Often things we find awesome as kids don’t hold the same appeal when we become adults. I doubted that the opening could be as cool as I remembered it.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I was wrong. It’s even cooler. Here<\/span><\/a>, see for yourself. How can you not love an opening that describes the “hero” like this:<\/p>\n

Along comes a man who saves lives at the risk of his own. Once a circus performer, an aerialist who refused the net. Once a cat burglar, a master among jewel thieves. And now, a professional bodyguard. Primitive, savage, in love with danger. The Cat.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Add in the jazz score by <\/span><\/span><\/span>Lalo Schifrin<\/span>, stunts, a hero with a past, great graphics, and filmed in color but not afraid to focus on black and white — shadows and light. Here<\/span><\/a> is another opening. I just wish that the season [it only lasted one] was available on dvd!<\/span><\/span>
