I used to love all of those Quinn Martin-produced cop shows when I was a kid…and they remain a guilty pleasure of mine today. Here are fifteen main title sequences from Quinn Martin’s shows…14 series and one unsold pilot.
Dan August
Most Wanted
Tales of the Unexpected (Full Episode)
The FBI
Cannon
The Invaders
Barnaby Jones
A Man Called Sloane (Full Episode)
The New Breed
Banyon
The Streets of San Francisco
The Fugitive
Operation Runaway (Full Pilot Movie)
12 O’Clock High
Escapade An unsold pilot — Quinn Martins attempt to remake THE AVENGERS.
Oh for the days of suit and tie detectives.
amen
Those were the days my friend, we thought they’d never end …
Growing up, I wasn’t quite sure what Quinn Martin did, but he seemed to be more important than the show, and I was always impressed when I heard his name. And the shows were always the best.
Another big name was Irwin Allen, and whenever it was a Quinn Martin or Irwin Allen show, I paid attention, this was important. To hear the narrator say, “This…is a Quinn Martin production,” brings back the old chills.
Never knew he was behind the invaders show I was too young as it was aired too late on British TV but noticed the name quinn Martin as a teenager with TV cop Cannon great action show loved the theme then saw other shows like Dan August Streets of San Francisco Barnby Jones he knew how to grab yr attention still watch reruns when they’re on class
What? No Manhunter with Ken Howard?
