There's something nylon-guitarish in there, too, but it might well be a keyboard.

I've never heard this tune before. It sounds exactly like part of "Lullabye of Broadway":

Good night, baby,
Good night, milkman's on his way.
Sleep tight, baby,
Sleep tight, let's call it a day

Wouldn't be surprised. The show itself was a ripoff of Match Game, so why not the song be a ripoff as well?

Did Hal Hidey do this theme song? It sounds a little too..."blah" for his tastes, compared to the other stuff he put out in the late-70s.

It's actually part of the Ole Georg library [titled "Virgo"], and attributed to Robert Ascot-----yeah, I know. Who?

As for the instrumentation----definitely a guitar. Probably a classical type.

Always sounded like a harpsichord to me.

And this was the second time around for Barry for this music as a theme--it was the theme for "Hollywood's Talking" and before that was used as the Spiegel plug cue on "TJW."
