R.I.P. Vic Mizzy

[The Baron]

Story Shame. As the article says, a great master of the lost art of TV theme songs.

With "Green Acres" and "The Addams Family," Vic Mizzy has achieved immortality.

[Travis Herrick (Modular Mod)]

One of my favorite quotes attributed to him was,"I don't mind being known as the Addams Family theme guy, because those two snaps bought me a mansion in Bel Air."

Something like that.

[Mark Sullivan (Vertiginous Mod)]

I thought it was cool that he performed the Addams Family theme himself; something about the producer not being able to deal with a click track. Mizzy wanted the rhythms to be very precise (with good reason!).
