Our friend Jon Burlingame is among those interviewed by Mark Dawidziak for his column today on the ongoing absence of theme music from network TV shows. Once a signature of television, not to mention a touchstone for generations of TV viewers, theme music has been absent from prime time network shows for nearly 20 years. Amazing. Here's the link to Mark's piece:


Jon, of course, is the author of Television's Greatest Hits: The Story of Television Themes from Dragnet to Friends; he'll also be our guest on the Sept. 21 edition of TV CONFIDENTIAL.

Mark is the TV critic for The Cleveland Plain-Dealer, as well as the author of The Columbo Phile and The Night Stalker Companion.
