DR elmore---I met Barry Kleinbort and told him how I know you and BK. He was very friendly. I also met Sierra Boggess and had my picture taken with her. And when Brent introduced one of the songs from his album he mentioned you as the orchestrator.
Quote from: John G. on April 10, 2012, 04:55:10 AMTOD: I remember a wonderful sitcom that didn't last long called "The Associates," which featured four promising young actors as new attorneys (Martin Short, Ally Walker, Joe Regalbuto and Shelley Smith) plus the elder partner, Wilfred Hyde White. Attorneys never go out of style, unfortunately; and humorous ones are in ever in short supply.I could see getting unknowns for the parts, but it would also be fun to try Anna Kendrick in the Ally Walker role, Hunter Parrish or Matt Lauria in Short's role, Michael Cera in Regalbuto's part and, in a bit of blind casting, as a brainy black attorney Jurnee Smollett instead of the not-so-dumb blond Smith. He's not old enough to take over as a substitute for White, but John Malcovich could play intelligent enough and certainly off-the-wall enough to make a disarming senior partner. Yes, an effervescent show! (from the "Mary Tyler Moore Show"and "Taxi" creators)THE ASSOCIATES title song dancehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ozcg_WjcPd8sung by B.B. King. A commenter on Youtube wondered if the theme song set up the wrong kind of show

I still laugh at one episode where they paired up Wilfred Hyde White and John Houseman playing his "Paper Chase" character and the two old men behaved like school boys.

TOD:The only show I am certain would work a second time around would be I LOVE LUCY, starring Debra Messing, of course, as Lucy.
There was another MTM show in that period with Paul Sands as a cello player with the Boston Symphony. I think Patrick Williams wrote the theme for that show, too.
