A very underrated show that really challenged the recall ability of both contestants and viewers...great set, stellar hosting/announcing by Peter and Rod, the Triple Crown actually offered significant consolation payoffs, and the theme/music package was top-notch!

It's a real shame this show was so short lived. Honestly one of my favorite game shows and one of the best game show themes.

This short lived game show theme music was composed by Paul Epstein for Score Productions who also did Body Language and Classic Concentration.

This show needs to be rerun on buzzr! There has to be a way to make that happen!

Wow, what I've been able to hear of this theme in episodes that have been uploaded really doesn't do it justice. The clear version is something else. Really has that "80s TV" vibe to it.

Rod Roddy on the last ever episode: IF you want to be a contestant hon Hitman, forget it!

RIP Jay Wolpert, Peter Tomarken and Rod Roddy.

Announcer Rod Roddy: "One half hour from now, you'll know enough about popular comic book girls and the Barrymore family to win $10,000 in cash if you were a contestant on "Hit Man"! And here's the host of "Hit Man", Peter Tomarken!" Peter Tomarken: "Thank you, Rod. Welcome to another episode of "Hit Man". What makes this game unique is that we give you the answers be- fore we even get to the questions. Let's meet our contestants who are about to play our game..." RIP, Rod and Peter.

Based on Pablo Cruise's "Worlds Away". Great find!

I've been waiting forever to hear this awesome theme😎

If you'd like to be a contestant on "Hit Man" - FORGET IT!

I was not even born when this show aired, so I never saw it.

This theme gets me hyper as all get out! I was home sick from 10th grade (legitimately) on Monday, January 3rd 1983 and I watched the debut episodes of this show, "$ale of the Century" and Betty White's show "Just Men".

One half hour from now, you’ll know enough about American Bandstand and Custer’s Last Stand to win $10,000 in cash, if you were a contestant on HIT MAN! And now here’s the host of Hit Man, Peter Tomarken!

Thanks. I like it!

I now want to do an arrangement of this song for my channel. Paul Epstein really knew what he was doing when he wrote this for Score Productions.

The best things I liked about this game show are the music and lights.📺

Our thoughts and prayers are with Jay Wolpert, who passed away from Alzheimer’s on January 3, 2022 at the age of 79.

Original Announcer is Rod Roddy New Announcer is Johnny Gilbert

It's time for our "Triple Crown".

Actually a pretty cool game. A huge What If in that this show came just months ahead of Press Your Luck...

This music along with the flashing of the letters gets me uber hyper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This show deserved a longer run. But then again, how would Press Your Luck have turned out without Peter Tomarken?

OMG the THEME in the clear!

Sounds like it would've worked as a TPIR car cue (particularly beginning at 1:18 when that higher synth line comes in)

If this show were to be revived: One half hour from now, you'll know enough about.... ….the career of Dick Clark.... ….and the city of Philadelphia.... ….to win $50,000 in cash! If you were a contestant on...HIT MAN! And now, here's the host of Hit Man - TODD NEWTON!

This show and "Press Your Luck" has a keyboard playing.

All episodes of Hit Man exist, as do the other Jay Wolpert shows, in their entirety, but the shows were only licensed to be seen once. Jay could never get the rights to have the Hit Man shows rerun due to many factors, such as music licensing. Shame. At least we can see Jay's first solo show, Whew!/Celebrity Whew! on BUZZR, as all of those shows exist, but Burt Sugarman owns those shows.

If the SHow were revived today: One Half Hour/Hour from now you'll know enough about Tom Brady and The Brady Bunch to win $100,000 In Cash! If you were a contestant on HIT MAN! And Now, here's the Host of HIT MAN, Todd Newton!

Sometimes I wonder if this should've been the theme for Press Your Luck and the Press Your Luck theme should've been the theme for Hit Man. Why? Because the Press Your Luck theme sounds a little like video game music, and the Hit Man stage looks like a video arcade.

This sounds like background music from a sports clip off the George Michael Sports Machine show.

Awesome! Hey,if you can find the Hit Man Triple Crown music and upload that,it would be awesome!!

Sounds like a Mega Man song

How 80's is this?

If you'd like to be a contestant on HitMan, FORGET IT! And now, back to Peter Tomarken!
