This is the closing theme to the 1980-1982 syndicated Barry-Enright U.S. game show "Bullseye" hosted by Jim Lange. This music was composed by Hal Hidey.
Great show, great theme, and even the set was given a thumbs up by Johnny Carson when it was at the NBC studios in Burbank before being moved to Studio 33 at CBS Television City--yes the same Bob Barker Studios used today by TPIR.
I'd love to see that. There's a rumor going around (though just a rumor) that a new version of Tic Tac Dough is in the works; if it airs, Tom Bergeron will host. That means 2 shows he's done with a tic-tac-toe theme (the first being Hollywood Squares).
If a reboot of this show gets planned, the format for both the main game and bonus game needs to be improved for faster and better-pacing. For instance, the bottom window only needs to feature either 1, 2, 3 or a Bullseye, with dollar amounts of either $500, $1000, or $1500 on the two top windows, and the goal is $5000. The maximum number of spins in the Bonus Island just needs to be five without lightning, and the top prize for surviving five spins is worth $25,000, and the wheels in the Bonus Island just need to feature only Bullseyes and the lightning, and no dollar amounts.
"Whew!" and "Hot Potato" made the same mistakes by becoming "Celebrity Whew!" and "Celebrity Hot Potato." Nobody ever learned that lesson: adding celebrities is NOT always a good thing.
Bullseye had a lot of potential- instead of celebrities competing against each other, it could've taken a cue from The Joker's Wild and had 3 audience members compete for a chance to "beat the lightning"!!!
According to Wikipedia, Barry & Enright used the Santa Esmarelda cover of "Please Don't Be Misunderstood" for the Bullseye ($1 Million) pilot. Hal Hidley reworked the song's music score to produce the theme used on the TV show.
I enjoyed the theme songs very much. Reminds me of my crazy date with a lovely girl. She loved this game show too. Many years later I saw her at her hs reunion. Married to some other guy and has kids. Dang I wish it was me.
If they could bring this back the one rule I hope that they can add is in the Bonus game whoever hits 3 Bullseyes on one spin you’ll win $10,000 in 💰! If you get on the very first spin you’ll win 50,000! Now that would definitely put the show back on the map❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bullseye would need some major tweaking for today: Front Game: Five categories in each of the two top windows, with all questions worth $250 each; bottom (contract) window having contracts of 1 to 3 questions, plus a Bullseye and a Lightning Bolt. Player in control of the board has to complete contract in order to both keep control and bank the amount won in the pot (which would be automatic), otherwise upon missed or wrong answer, the other player can steal what is in the pot by giving the correct answer (similar to Family Feud after third strike). Player in control of board who gets a Bullseye will automatically win by answering one question (akin to a Three Joker spin on TJW). A Lightning Bolt will result in automatic loss of control (akin to getting the "XX" in the Double Cross pilot). $2,500 or more wins the game. Also,the "challenger first" rule (as well as "champion final spin" rule) from TJW is also used. Bonus Round: Dollar amounts are $200, $300, $500. Player accumulates $5,000 or more without hitting the Lightning Bolt wins. Bullseyes that appear act as multipliers (2X for one Bullseye; 3X for two Bullseyes). Spinning three Bullseyes is an automatic win (like the Natural Triple in TJW's Bonus Round), and getting three on the very first spin is an automatic win worth $10,000.
In the original pilot, the bonus round was structured in such a way somebody actually could win one million dollars. Clearly that was not the case when it went to air, though.
Bullseye should have had a run of at least 5 years. It was a great q and a game show like it's sister shows tic tac dough and the joker's wild. celebrity bullseye killed the show in the middle of the second season
2 other weaknesses that Bullseye suffered from were 1) it was never on a network, unlike TTD and TJW, and 2) if you get a fixed-length contract on a category that neither contestant is very good at, you could potentially be stuck on that contract for a while, thus slowing the game down. Don't get me wrong, I too loved Bullseye and wish it would have run longer than what it did. But it did have those fatal flaws, the first of which could have been easily prevented, had Jack Barry and Dan Enright tried to get the show on one of the networks first. And the all-celebrity idea? Oh my word, don't get me started on that...that was completely inexcusable and only guaranteed that Bullseye would, sadly, get swept into the dustbin of game show history.
@@fredmckinney8933 I wish the numbers 1-5 in the bottom window were the multiplying numbers to the dollar amount of a category instead of the contract numbers. And when a contestant hit the Bullseye, they could choose any number from 1 to 5 as their multiplying number to the dollar amount. That wouldn't have slowed the game down.
Happy belated 38th birthday to one of the best short lived game shows to ever air in Bullseye! (Also the 8 people that disliked this video...they got hit by the lightning bolt on bonus island)
I sure wish Game Show Network would air reruns of this show again. Better yet, release the damn episodes to DVD (yes, even the ill-fated Celebrity Bullseye broadcasts)
Jeopardy!, The Price is Right, Family Feud, and Password have released DVD sets with episodes of those shows. I agree with you, though, and say Bullseye deserves a DVD release.
As a young lad growing up in southern Vermont, I remember watching this show on WGGB 40 from Springfield, MA and then in reruns on what was then CBN (ABC Family nowadays). Scariest bonus round ever because I used to jump every time a player got "struck" by lightning!
I remember watching this on CBN as well as it was the 1st Cable Network to air Reruns of Game Shows before USA Network and GSN and even Buzzr I would LOVE for either Buzzr, Me-TV, Antenna TV or even INSP (if that's possible) to bring back the B&E Library
Simple,if you ever played violin or seen someone who does,you can do it. It's like air guitar but on the shoulder. The reason is that the theme song has a little violin in it.
Loove this super cheesy disco super 1980/81 drenched sounding song! lol And omg at around 1:48 it abolsutely sounds like the Copa by Barry Manilow. lol

Well, it looks like we've run out of time! Jill and Matt will return Monday with $300 in the pot. Until then, may everything you aim for hit the bullseye! So long.
I agree and not only that,release it as a video game along with Tic Tac Dough and The Joker's Wild. Release every episode on DVD,including every celebrity episode.
Upon seeing this game show as a child, I would root for the contestant who played the lightning round. Although thinking that's a happy event because of winning cash and prizes, I was afraid of the contestant when they get 'struck by lightning'!📺😵
I would too but I dunno if it ever actually happened. chances are it might have but I honestly don't know how many game show collectors are around anymore to upload the episodes I would REALLY love to see a DVD collection of the episodes that are around for this series but for some reason if I remember right it can't happen cos I would LOVE to see it on Buzzr for sure

Hal did steal from Barry Manilow on this one it's absolutely Copacabana with the castanets and string line near then end. I do like it though, it's got a good disco groove and nice 70s brass and strings. Hal always uses either electronic sounds (Tic Tac Dough), whistling (Joker's Wild), or handclap sounds (also TTD), the latter is the only one of those he used here.

It's from a one sided vinyl record of highlights from the "Bullseye" music package that Hal Hidey had made. It wasn't commercially released. He just had them made for his own collection. I was lucky enough to have Mr. Hidey send me several of them in 1996.
The BULLSEYE format could use a tweak. Do it a la THE JOKER'S WILD, where each player gets a spin to answer questions, and the first one to $2000 wins the game. This "contract" format doesn't really appeal.
SuperPat: if revived today, A TJW like format could be a good alternative as the contract element is a bit complicated and made the show move slow sometimes, but the contract could be used as a category of its own to make things challenging.
Puzzlefan30 you are right on that Bullseye needing the contract format to avoid being a clone of TJW, but the idea of ending shows at the middle of a bonus round, you have to think like a producer, the idea is to provide an element of suspense, will they win or lose?, this engages the viewer to tune in for the next show. however the slow length of some matches because of contract format was the big reason for what you mentioned and as for trying to be a TTD meets TJW hybrid ( with a little bit of the Who What Where game thrown in ) I disagree that it didn't know what it wanted to be , it may have been a bit confusing but it was a quite inventive (albeit over-rule laden) fusion of the 2 B&E hits with just enough gameplay ( contracts, banking money while risking control of the board, losers keeping what they banked, bonus round offering more than $5,000 as a top prize) and aesthetic elements (large neon set, unique gameboard), to make the show different. IMHO B and E did succeed at that it was just the show was caught in the middle of the popularity of its 2 formentioned sister shows (TTD especially, especially during Thom McKee's run) and the Dawson Feud thus rendering the show to bad time slots or no clearance at all in many markets during its civilian run, the jump the shark switch to all celebs signaled the white flag, and any viewers that did tune in didn't stay. B and E might have done better had the show been on a network.
SuperPat88 I too think that Bullseye could have enjoyed a longer run if B & E had gotten it on a network first, like they did with TTD & TJW, both of which were on CBS, + the original TTD was on NBC way back in the 50's. I loved the contract play in this game, making for the ultimate dilemma when a contract ended, creating a risk either way whether a player banked or played on. But at the same time, I will admit, the rules could be a little confusing. Oh, and Celebrity Bullseye? I could see that for a week, maybe 2 weeks tops. But PERMANENTLY?!! Bad, bad move on B & E's part...
"BULLSEYE" is A Jack Barry & Dan Enright Production!
Portions of the game not affecting the outcome have been edited / recreated for broadcast.
This is probably the best quality version of the theme I have heard, even with the record pops.
RIP Jim Lange (1932-2014)
Bob Eubanks express his most sincere condolences, when Jim Lange passed away on Tom Kennedy's birthday in 2014!!!

Agreed. When the show became "Celebrity Bullseye", that was where the show went down ratings wise. The show did modestly well the first season.

Yes, because it was recorded from a vinyl record that Hal Hidey had made of the highlights of the "Bullseye" soundtrack.
In 1980, Bullseye was taped at NBC Studios (The Burbank Studios) in Burbank, CA. One year, it was moved to CBS Television City (Studios) in Hollywood.

I agree, there should be a Class Game Show Collection Videogame, i'd buy it in a heartbeat
Same here!
I would buy that, too! Music like this is why I prefer instrumental music over music with lyrics.
This can be made into a million dollar version. Such a great show
It would be a great idea for a special tournament to have characters from “My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic” which is going to be awesome.
In the original pilot, the bonus round was structured in such a way somebody actually could win one million dollars. Clearly that was not the case when it went to air, though.

It's from a one sided vinyl record of highlights from the "Bullseye" music package that Hal Hidey had made. It wasn't commercially released. He just had them made for his own collection. I was lucky enough to have Mr. Hidey send me several of them in 1996.

Are people clapping or is that a drum
Or even better redo the show with a updated feel
0:39 look at the top of the screen with the white lettering at the bottom. See it? LOL.
The BULLSEYE format could use a tweak. Do it a la THE JOKER'S WILD, where each player gets a spin to answer questions, and the first one to $2000 wins the game. This "contract" format doesn't really appeal.
SuperPat: if revived today, A TJW like format could be a good alternative as the contract element is a bit complicated and made the show move slow sometimes, but the contract could be used as a category of its own to make things challenging.
Puzzlefan30 you are right on that Bullseye needing the contract format to avoid being a clone of TJW, but the idea of ending shows at the middle of a bonus round, you have to think like a producer, the idea is to provide an element of suspense, will they win or lose?, this engages the viewer to tune in for the next show. however the slow length of some matches because of contract format was the big reason for what you mentioned and as for trying to be a TTD meets TJW hybrid ( with a little bit of the Who What Where game thrown in ) I disagree that it didn't know what it wanted to be , it may have been a bit confusing but it was a quite inventive (albeit over-rule laden) fusion of the 2 B&E hits with just enough gameplay ( contracts, banking money while risking control of the board, losers keeping what they banked, bonus round offering more than $5,000 as a top prize) and aesthetic elements (large neon set, unique gameboard), to make the show different. IMHO B and E did succeed at that it was just the show was caught in the middle of the popularity of its 2 formentioned sister shows (TTD especially, especially during Thom McKee's run) and the Dawson Feud thus rendering the show to bad time slots or no clearance at all in many markets during its civilian run, the jump the shark switch to all celebs signaled the white flag, and any viewers that did tune in didn't stay. B and E might have done better had the show been on a network.
SuperPat88 I too think that Bullseye could have enjoyed a longer run if B & E had gotten it on a network first, like they did with TTD & TJW, both of which were on CBS, + the original TTD was on NBC way back in the 50's.
I loved the contract play in this game, making for the ultimate dilemma when a contract ended, creating a risk either way whether a player banked or played on. But at the same time, I will admit, the rules could be a little confusing.
Oh, and Celebrity Bullseye? I could see that for a week, maybe 2 weeks tops. But PERMANENTLY?!! Bad, bad move on B & E's part...
@@fredmckinney8933, yeah, Bullseye could've aired on NBC daytime, preceding Card Sharks!!!
@UNCJerry77 You mean struck by lightning,LOL.
