"Que Sera Sera (Whatever Will Be Will Be)" is a popular single long
associated with actress/singer Doris Day. Years later, an updated version became
the theme to her successful television series. Its unintentionally tragic lyrics
pass through three generations of an obviously unsaved family, as a child
reaches out to her mother for the meaning of life. This precious little girl is
told to cast her fate to the wind, and whatever happens, happens. It is
interesting to note that while The Doris Day Show enjoyed a six year run
(1967-73) it lacked direction, frequently changed formats and characters, and
never became a solid ratings winner. This show, like all of man's creations, has
gone to a place where moth and rust doth corrupt.
