I PLAN TO HONOR HIM BY TRIPPING OVER MY OTTOMAN TONIGHT: Prolific and self-deprecating composer Earle H. Hagen has passed away. Hagen, whose autobiography was entitled "Memoirs of a Famous Composer -- Nobody Ever Heard Of" was responsible for two of the most enduring instrumental TV themes of all time, "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and "The Andy Griffith Show," as well as countless other compositions for movies and TV, including "The Mod Squad," "That Girl" and "I Spy." He was 88.
