Bonanza Theme

Awesome tune. Awesome show. Why was it filmed in black and white ?

Most Americans had B&W sets in the 1950's, it wasn't until 1964 or so that most network programming was color.

Hey, Tommy, how YOU doin'? I'm doing fine, myself. When I think of theme songs from the 60's, I think of the Mission Impossible theme, the Andy Griffith theme, the Dick Van Dyke Show theme, the Get Smart theme, and The Monkees theme song. All very catchy and memorable.

/——-/ They tried filming it in all white, but you couldn’t see anything so they switched to black and white to be inclusive.

That would explain it.

A lot of the famous theme music and popular music in general of that period was done by a bunch of session musicians known as the Wrecking crew in the LA area who were never credited with their music till lately. The Beach Boys, Monkeys, Association etc. album music was actually them as well as most of the most popular theme music from shows like Hawaii Five O, Bonanza etc. In fact the last two were by a guitarist named Tommy Tadesco. Oddly enough Glen Campbell was among them as a guitarist too before he became a vocalist, and he couldn't read a note of music. He did it all by ear.
