You can hear a snippet of the TV theme in the first track...

It arrived this afternoon and I'm listening now. Very enjoyable! And the sound quality is terrific. I can't imagine anyone who knows and likes the score being anything less than delighted with this fine presentation.
Gosh darn it, you americans make me jealous. You get Intrada and LLL quick and the cheapest. I, an european, have to pay double and wait even more for the soundtracks. I've been wanting Intrada's Tinker Bell for a long while, but still haven't been able..

They don't see 80s cartoons as beneath them. It's just that, historically, they haven't released any scores for animated TV shows. Either they prefer to concentrate on film and live action TV, or the opportunity to release them hasn't arisen.
I don't think being an animated show has anything to do with it. I think being a TV show has everything to do with it. Intrada has released only a very limited number of TV shows in the past -- Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rogers were spurred because of their relationships with Stu Phillips and Bruce Broughton. They tackled Twilight Zone '85 largely because of their closeness to Craig Safan (and Basil Poledouris in the past...RIP). But these are all rare/special occasions, because they (and other labels) have commented several times about how much more difficult any TV series soundtrack is to produce than a score for a normal film, TV movie, or even miniseries. More to seek out, leading to higher transfer costs, more to organize, leading to extra work...
They did do a single disc version of Planet of the Apes (TV) but I'm not sure if that counts as a normal TV series since it was so short lived and everything written for it fits on just two discs (as LLL later revealed with their complete release).
All that said, I think the positive response on this board (as well as their own) to their latest DuckTales release only increases the likelihood of their considering a release of Ron Jones's music.

I don't think being an animated show has anything to do with it. I think being a TV show has everything to do with it.
I would add – and you glance on this, too, Yavar – that a whole lot of what they do is generated by personal passion, whether it be for composers they've worked with a lot (Goldsmith, Broughton, David Newman, Christopher Young, Rosenthal, et al), composers long gone that they admire (Rózsa, North), and sometimes individual scores to films that just hit their sweet spot (I can't imagine "Hurry Sundown" was anticipated to be a big seller, but clearly they wanted to do it). Are there exceptions? I'm just guessing that "Transformers: The Movie" didn't fit any of these criteria, but it likely seemed pragmatic. (Note: I could be way off on that, and maybe it's Doug Fake's favorite movie.)
If you're not the right age (or had kids the right age), "DuckTales" (the series) was completely invisible to you. While Doug Fake has been enthusiastic about "In Harm's Way" for many years, it is very easy to imagine he has had zero exposure to "DuckTales." And sure, some here say it's great, and I don't have any reason not to believe them. And sure, some here say it would surely be a hot seller, and I think that people said that about the '80s "Twilight Zone" too, and they were wrong. So I have no clue as to whether it would be a pragmatic choice for them to release.
But I don't think it has anything to do with anything being "beneath them." I mean, they released "Robo Warriors," for crying out loud!
