Baretta

Show Summary

Aired: 1975 - 1978
Show Type: Live Action
Country of Origin: US

Tony Baretta was an unconventional cop. He was
streetwise, single, with a decidedly funky lifestyle:
he holed up in apartment 2-C of the run-down King
Edward Hotel with his pet cockatoo Fred. He was
usually seen in a T-shirt and jeans, with his
trademark cap pulled down over his forehead. Being
the orphaned son of poor Italian immigrants, Tony
knew the city inside out. He was a master of disguise,
and because of his rough appearance was able to
infiltrate such groups as motorcycle gangs and even
"the Mob." Needless to say, he refused to have a
partner and always worked alone. Inspector Shiller
was his original boss, later succeeded by Lt. Brubaker.
Billy Truman was a retired cop who was a
combined manager and house detective
at the hotel where Baretta lived.

musicradio77 is right....there are lyrics for this theme song. golden if someone could find that version of the intro...all i can ever remember is the same..."keep your eye on the sparrow...." there may be a "...don't do it!..." in there somewhere...and at the end i think it goes..."well, well, well, well, well!" so long ago but very cool tune. bring it back! i mean, someone in hollywood knows where that old tv show vault is.

Alas, it lasts only a measily minute but it does contain voice and words..

I was into birds around that time, we bought a Cockateil for my parents. I watched this show only because of Fred and grew to like the show itself but I did wait for the Fred scenes! Kinda like when Kung Fu was on, you didn't care about the story, you just wanted to see the three fight scenes in every episode.
