R.I.P. Vic Mizzy


Vic Mizzy, the man responsible for 90% of your favorite TV theme songs has passed away at the ripe old age of 93. Perhaps you are familiar with some of these pop culture musical contributions courtesy of Mr. Mizzy:
The Addams Family
F Troop
Green Acres
Mister Ed
Petticoat Junction
He wrote the theme to Quincy too! Although I doubt he was responsible for the show's punk music:

You're right -- "Don't Cross The Street" rivals anything Joe Rapozzo came up with!
