TV Series themes from our childhood

Here's one only Alex might have some recollection of. Raumpatrouille Orion. Roughly from the same time Star Trek started, but a German version.

And since it made me remember Dietmar Schönherr, here's one of the big Saturday evening shows from the late 60ies, early 70ies. I was allowed to stay up to watch it. It's one of the full shows, but the title theme is in the first 2 minutes.

What's noteworthy about this show was that it was very controversial. It was designed as a game between families from Austria, Germany and Switzerland. The particular stations collaborated to produce it. There was a big scandal in 1969 when, for some game, the daughter of one of the participating families, donned a transparent blouse and showed her titties on national tv primetime. Another game I remember, which ended up in making headlines, was getting out of a submerged car. Divers of course were present to prevent drowning, but it made headlines nonetheless.
