Flipper 1964 - 1967 Opening and Closing Theme (With Snippet)

Ойын-сауық

Flipper, from Ivan Tors Films in association with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Television, is an American television program first broadcast on NBC from September 19, 1964, until April 15, 1967. Flipper, a bottlenose dolphin, is the companion animal of Porter Ricks, Chief Warden at fictional Coral Key Park and Marine Preserve in southern Florida, and his two young sons Sandy and Bud.
The show has been dubbed an "aquatic Lassie", and a considerable amount of juvenile merchandise inspired by the show was produced during its first-run. The television show is an adaptation of the 1963 film Flipper starring Chuck Connors and Luke Halpin as Porter and Sandy Ricks, and its 1964 sequel, Flipper's New Adventure, where Brian Kelly took over the role of Porter.
In adapting the films to a television series, the producers made Porter a single parent and gave him a second son named Bud, played by Tommy Norden. The producers departed yet again from the films in endowing Flipper with an unnatural degree of intelligence and an extraordinary understanding of human motives, behavior, and vocabulary.

    I couldn't wait for Saturdays when there wasn't no school, and Flipper had aired me, and my sibling would sit right in front of the tv to watch Flipper. That was the best childhood any children could have.

    Thank you so much. My little brother was so intrigued by this show. When he was in his 20s he went to Florida to build boats. He sent me a cookie jar that made the flipper sound. He passed away in his late 20s from a bad heart valve. This theme song is my little brothers ❤️

    I loved this show as a child. Now, I just recently returned from a vacation in Cabo San Lucas in Mexico, and there are adventure companies that take people out doing different activities. I opted for swimming with the dolphins. I got to live a childhood fantasy and swam with a dolphin, or rather he swam with me holding on, plus I got "kisses" on my cheek and we did a little dance holding his fins! It was so much fun, and I got to cross off something from my childhood bucket list! I just had to hear this theme song again from childhood. What a beautiful memory, both then and now.

Her brother was my best friend, and when I was in about 4th grade, sometimes he and I would be getting ready to do stuff together and I'd be wanting or expecting his sister to come along too, but he'd just say "she has to stay and watch Flipper, Flipper", while singing the opening notes of the song.

    Back in the late 1970's, I tried my hand at being an IT recruiter. I got a job at an IT search firm and when I started working there, I discovered that Tom Norden worked there, too. Yes, Tommy Norden, of Flipper fame, worked at that search firm. He sat next to me. Everyone called him Flippy. He didn't care much for that. He went on to open his own IT search firm. I quit after one week because I hated it.

    The music for the classic "Flipper" song was written by Henry Vars, who was actually a very distinguished Jewish composer who managed to survive during WWII in Poland and emigrated to the US after the war. He scored a number of movies and composed symphonies and popular songs and worked at MGM in the 1960s. The lyrics were by William D. "By" Dunham who wrote songs and lyrics and was also a producer.

    Although this is TV, the show had the feel of a Motion Picture. The cinematography was awesome. The music and vibe was very ‘Disney’. And the boys with their New York accents. Norden’s was especially pronounced and he seemed a natural comedic actor (e.g. facial expressions). reminds me now of the ‘Our Gang/Little Rascals’ comedies. TV today has lost so much of it’s innocence. Thank you for posting. Now I need to point out that this intro demo is not the complete collection. It only includes the later episodes. It would be great if you could upload the earlier seasons. A shot there is of Tommy Norden getting his face licked by a puppy when his credits are shown. Such a marvelous series I watched as a kid and still do.

    A revival of the iconic 1964 TV series entitled "Flipper - The New Adventures" was attempted in 1995, but didn’t attract much attention. The first two seasons aired in syndication. Seasons 3 and 4 aired on the PAX network. Flipper - The New Adventures was set in a town named Bal Harbor, somewhere in the Florida Keys. In reality, the show’s first three episodes were filmed in Pigeon Key, Florida and at the Dolphin Research Center in Grassy Key, Florida. The balance of the show was actually filmed in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. In 1996, Universal Pictures also attempted a motion picture adaptation entitled "Filpper." It starred Elijah (Lord of the Rings) Wood as Sandy Ricks, and Paul (Crocodile Dundee) Hogan as Porter Ricks. Interestingly, Luke Halpin, the original Sandy Ricks, had a bit part as a fisherman.

    Really sad when you read how flipper's was treated the show made it look like a happy dolphin when 5 captive dolphins died from abuse and just was replaced just one story from a trainer is going to break your heart *"Kathy, the dolphin used most for the role of Flipper, was one day found covered in black blisters and barely moving. Her trainer Ric O’Barry was called in and Kathy soon died in his arms. According to O’Barry, Kathy was depressed due to the unnatural conditions of captivity and forced herself to stop breathing. He ruled the death a suicide since dolphins are known for their high intelligence and self-awareness. Shook by this experience, O’Barry left the animal entertainment industry to start the Dolphin Project and continues to dedicate his life to ending dolphin captivity."*
