(CBS Primetime, 1960 - 1962) [original series title (and pilot episode title) "For Pete's Sake"; this was a spinoff from "December Bride", which see.]
[above is the title as filed for copyright; in the ASCAP database, it is incorporated into "Pete and Gladys Cues"] [Although Wilbur Hatch had written the THEME music for "December Bride" from which "Pete and Gladys" was spun off, a decision was made to replace this THEME with another tune (see the note reproduced below.) Perhaps part of the reason may be due to the fact that the producer co-wrote the tune below, and therefore shared in the royalties ever after. So although Hatch's THEME may have been used for the pilot episode, it may or may not have had a use after that...] Composer: Wilbur J. Hatch (ASCAP/BMI) 1978 Publisher: April Music, Inc.
