Hi Gang,

This must be from one of the few 'network TV' prints SciFi had, as I
heard the 1972 Lalo Schifrin music playing in the background of the
Paramount Split Rectangle 2 logo. Most of the syndie prints of this,
as well as some other Paramount shows pre-1975 (incl. "The Brady
Bunch" among these), often used the 1970 Schifrin music instead.

The 1972 Lalo Schifrin music was also originally used in the pilot
episode of the show in discussion, which aired in March of 1973.
