As a kid, I watched the premier of Naked City on TV and instantly fell in love with it. Watched every episode from the first season of half-hour shows to the three seasons of hour-long episodes. Everything about the show was great but what has forever been etched in my memory were the three hauntingly beautiful theme songs of this series. There was the original, "This Is The Naked City" written by George Duning. The second theme, which initiated the hour-long episodes, was "Naked City Theme", aka "Somewhere In The Night" by Billy May. The theme for the final season was "The New Naked City Theme" by Nelson Riddle. They were all gorgeous pieces of music that added to the powerful character of the series. The great scripting, gritty photography and memorable music make this my all-time favorite show of any kind.
