Vic Mizzy



[Vic Mizzy, perhaps best remembered as the composer of the theme songs for The Adams Family and Green Acres*, died on Saturday. Below is a link to his obituary in the Los Angeles Times.]

Vic Mizzy dies at 93; film and TV composer

* On a related note, highly recommended: David Marc's remarkable 1984 book Demographic Vistas: Television in American Culture that includes a relevant chapter, "The Situation Comedy of Paul Henning." Mr. Marc writes: "Green Acres is as utterly self-reflexive as any program ever aired on network TV."
