About Mike Hensel
Expertise
I will try and answer all questions dealing with television...show names, plots, actors, roles, networks, etc...US shows primarily; not real knowledgeable on TV from other countries...I lean heavily into past, more so than current, television...and, my knowledge dealing with "reality" shows is limited, due to the fact that I really can't stand the genre (my apologies to all the "Reality" fans out there...)

Experience
Years of watching and cataloging television shows

Education/Credentials
High School Graduate

Television Trivia - American Sportsman


Expert: Mike Hensel - 10/17/2009

Question
Hi,  My Dad and I would end our Sundays watching the American SPortsman and I have wonderful memories associated with the theme song.  Over the years I have searched and even called the TV network who originally produced the show and they couldn't even remember the show. I noticed your question posted in 2007 and found the information you posted but it stopped there.  My father passed away several years ago and this song holds a special memory in my heart.  Have you uncovered any new info?
Thank you  Eric

Answer
Eric, no, nothing on finding the theme song; or where to buy the series...

We still have the original information...

http://www.classicthemes.com/50sTVThemes/themePages/americanSportsman.html

... which gives is the authors and publishers of the different themes...

I did find this little piece of information...

http://www.videouniversity.com/articles/curt-gowdy/comment-page-1

... done after the death of Curt Gowdy by someone who worked with him on the show... the telling information is from the second comment at the bottom of the page; the note states that no one at ABC (or ESPN, who ABC owns) can find the show in the archives...

this may be one lost for the ages; unless someone out there has their own film of it...

Thanks for a Great Question !!!
Take Care,
Mike
