Following the success of NBC's 90 minute wheel series "Name of the Game", they launched The NBC Mystery Movie. Henry Mancini, who was doing a lot of music for NBC at the time, penned this iconic theme. The anthology ran for 8 years. When it disappeared, so did most of the individual shows. The excepts are; "Quincy, ME" which had a very popular 8 year run on NBC, and "Columbo". Columbo went to be featured in several stand-alone movies and then eventually in The ABC Mystery Movie in the late 80's.
