EDIT: As of July 17, 2019, all [Dailymotion] links are presumably dead, as every single one I tried, was removed because of copyright.
The series was not merely an incarnation, but rather it's meant to follow the original film, only we have to pretend we don't notice the casting changes. But the changes work; Carroll O'Connor is not only an inspired choice for Chief 'Bill Gillespie, but I dare say without him the cast wouldn't have worked the way it did.
Howard E. Rollins Jr. is perfect for Mr. Tibbs.
And David Hart as Parker and Alan Autry as Skinner work wonders and make a strong cast. Each character different, each character defined, and each character is a believably good old boy from the south type character.
For all the episodes I've seen, this is the first time I've seen the entire first season. Every time it re-ran on TV, I was always caught up in something else.
SEASON ONE:
"Pilot: Part I"
By: Dick DeBendictis
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5vchfv
Highlights:
3:33 in. Simply because it's the first cue of the series and it opens up with the familiar sound of the wordless jazz scat male vocals and acoustic guitar.
5:31 in. Rather similar to Quincy Jones' work for the film.
24:31 in.
32:28 in.
Tibbs: "CHIEF! Maybe you care to explain that I can and will be going into that cell block, or anywhere else I chose, when I chose. And we better get another thing straight: You will not call me 'Boy'. I wanna like you people, and I want you to like me, but there can't be liking without respect, and until there is that respect, you ... will call me ... Mr. Tibbs."
"Pilot: Part II"
By: Dick DeBendictis
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5vchfx (the video quality is noticeably lower)
This is DeBenedictis' only contributions to the series. He'd have made a good regular or semi-regular composer. I wonder if Quincy was even asked.
Highlights:
0:00 in.
10:02 in. Which uses that breathy woodwind sound Quincy used in the film score. And after the commercial break.
28:00 in.
29:40 in.
34:13 in.
35:59 in. Some action music.
Chief: "Way you're lookin' at me, I'm beginning to feel I need an alibi."
Tibbs: "You got one. You took the lady who works at the diner home at six pm, and you stayed with her all that evening."
Chief: Chief takes his glasses off, "Did I enjoy myself?"
The series didn't capitalize credits, including episode names, so I am going to use lower case from this point on with the episode names.
"road kill"
By: Nan Schwartz
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5vchfy
Highlights:
0:00 in.
5:11 in.
11:21 in.
22:48 in.

About 41:40 in.
"Big city got you mighty inpatient, son. Talkin' take time."
"fate"
By: Nan Schwartz
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5vchfz
Highlights:
0:00 in.
2:20 in.
13:28 in.
19:26 in.
22:32 in. This is the only cue I can recall hearing that inside the episode the words "In the heat of the night" are sung in the score. It's kind of odd.
3340 in.
38:45 in.
Guest starring Nana Visitor (Kira from "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine").
Tibbs: "I figure it's a good idea."
Chief: "Well, I imagine you would, being it's your idea."
"blind spot" (doesn't say "part i" on screen)
By: Nan Schwartz
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5vchg0
Highlights:
2:30 in: the source music for the restaurant that dances around the theme song.
6:23 in. Some chase music.
11:38 in.
15:10 in.
30:11 in.
36:10 in.
About 37:50 in.
43:05 in.
"blind spot" (doesn't say "part ii" on screen)
By: Nan Schwartz
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5vchgd
Highlights:
1:10 in.
About 14:40 in. Action material with a drum machine. The Energizer Bunny on crack.
28:25 in.
About 35:50 in. Picks back up at 36:32 in. More at 38:21 and 39:55 in.
44:09 in.
Could this be one of the earliest examples of a character mentioning Wal-Mart in a TV series?
Chief: "I never know what our mayor is talking about, which gives me one thing in common with a billion Chinese."

SEASON ONE:

Highlights:
3:33 in.
13:34 in.
About 20:15 in.
24:42 in.
34:33 in.
37:40 in.
Tibbs: "I have enough trouble keeping one wife happy. how'd you end up with three?"
Jeffson: "Well ... you know what the Bible says: Be fruitful and multiply and fill the Earth."
Chief: "But I don't think the Lord meant for you to do that by yourself."
"...and then you die"
By: Nan Schwartz
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5vchgh ()
Highlights:
17:36 in: a slow cue with two instruments: piano and some kind of woodwind.
28:50 in.
35:14 in: An unusually dramatic and uneasy piece considering the rest of the episode score thus far (which were menacing synth pieces not worth bringing up).
38:35 in.
And that concludes season one. Moving ahead to season two, you hear.

SEASON TWO:
"don't look back" (no "part i")
By: Joe Harnell
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4ibx3r
According to IMDb, this originally aired as a TV movie and was later edited into two episodes. I guess they felt they needed a more "name" composer for a TV movie.
Filming moved to another state and the changes are obvious. Plus, a cast member was lost (presumably with the move).
Highlights:
15:27 in.
26:56 in.
42:36 in.
Chief "Mr. Tibbs, I will decide what is a waste of your time, I am your Chief!"
"don't look back" (no "part ii")
By: Joe Harnell
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5vchgk
Highlights:
Nothing.
"the family secret"
By: Joe Harnell
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5vchgm
These are Harnell's only contributions to the series. I just don't feel he clicked with the series scoring. I'm glad he didn't do more.
Highlights:
31:00 in. It's very short, but I like it.
"the hammer and the glove"
By: Nan Schwartz
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4ijq3f
Highlights:
12:22 in.
14:33 in.
About 40:30 in. There's a brief lull.
Continuing the television series trend where an old friend and/or colleague comes to visit, they turn out to have evil intentions.

SEASON TWO:
"prisoners"
By: Nan Schwartz
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4iq2al (the first minute and-a-half is screwed up and freezes and goes silent at places; this also happens at some random times throughout the video)
Highlights:
1:30 in. Unfortunately, this comes off a freeze.
About 6:00 in. Some soft brass work.
7:04 in: some piano and strings for a mournful-sounding piece.
18:32 in: a soft touching piece with piano and strings.
22:38 in.
About 29:20 in. The audio and video shortly before this completely screws up the rest of the video.
Sheriff: "Old sinner, how you doing?" (to Bill)
Chief: "Oh, I repent now and then."

By: David Bell

Highlights:
6:46 in.
15:20 in.
28:37 in. There's a lull.
31:13 in.
41:00 in.
I'm not sure what TV series touched it off, but after some series did, a number of TV series decided to have one of their female leads raped to touch on the subject in their own way of discussion. This series, "Hunter" (the cop series), others.
And isn't Bubba just a little too willing to believe a rape accuser, considering just mere episodes ago two women accused him?
Chief: "Where you goin'? Bubba, tell him where's he's goin'."
Bubba: "Why, you goin' to a cell."
"fairest of them all"
By: Nan Schwartz
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5vcj5j

13:25 in.
About 15:30 in.
27:40 in.
31:40 in.

Highlights:
1:35 in.
5:33 in.

24:42 in. Continues at 27:23 in.
33:07 in: a tender string piece with some soft harmonica playing and a flute.
39:20 in. The cue stops for a few seconds (I suspect it was muted and that the cue as made didn't stop).
Another on the cheap score I enjoyed.
Two new re-occurring characters are introduced.

Continuing SEASON THREE:
"home is where the heart is"
By: Nan Schwartz
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5vcjaz
Highlights:
0:56 in. More at 4:23 in. I'm not sure how to describe this style of music.
About 11:15 in.
14:22 in. The male vocal is more singing than doing jazz scat, this time around.
28:47 in.
33:37 in.
Tibbs: "Chief, I respectfully, and strongly, disagree."
Chief: "Well, I'd fall down in a fit of surprise if you did anything else, Virgil."

"citizen trundel: part l"

Highlights:
1:00 in. A drum-machine lead percussion piece, with some strings (sounds like synth strings to me).
5:45 in.

SEASON FOUR:
"brotherly love" (no "part l")
By: Nan Schwartz
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5vcjbi
Highlights:
26:58 in.
42:03 in.
There's a new end credits arrangement, this time with saxophone instead of harmonica. I don't like it. I really liked the old one. Even though each season has had a new arrangement of the opening credits and I didn't mention it, this was a noticeable change.
"brotherly love: part ll" (actually, the on-screen opening doesn't even state the episode title for the second part)
By: Nan Schwartz
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5vcjbk
Highlights:
27:01 in.
"lessons learned"
By: Nan Schwartz
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5vcjbm (the volume level is a little low on this load)
Highlights:
28:52 in.
32:53 and 34:10 in.
39:44 in.
And thankfully that annoying new end credits arrangement was short lived.
"perversions of justice"
By: David Bell
Suite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8YBi9I2wA8
I'm not far now from an episode that had a score rejected. I've asked the composer, since he's still credited in the end credits, if he can go through the episode and see if he can hear anything left in (telling him about my thread here). So, who knows what kind of info' I might be able to add here.
When I first started my currently defunct Rejected Film Scores website back in sometime 2004, rejected scores to episodes of TV series were rare, but over time I've grown that rarity into probably three dozen or more, so it's not as rare as I once thought it was.

Continuing SEASON FOUR:
"and justice
for some"
By: David Bell
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5vcjbo
Highlights:
4:27 in. Opening with some laid-back jazzy material, then going into some moderate blues/jazz chase music.
16:58 in.
About 33:10 and 35:41 in.
Oh, love a good arrogant son of a bitch you hope to get to see get it in the end. Good bad guy playing by the actor William Shockley.
Chief: "Virgil, proud as I am to be the Godfather of your two babies, I must advise you that baby stories are only cute if they're short and infrequent."
Parker: "Good morning, you're on the air," responding to a call from a unit over the CB.
Chief: "Parker! Just answer the call!" yelling, unseen, from his office.
"heart of gold"
By: David Bell
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5vcjbp
Highlights:
0:59 in.
10:18 in.
12:14 in.
15:28 in.
2813 in.
35:47 in.
36:31 in. The slow and delicate cue goes on for five minutes.
These last two scores, Bell has been playing around with the way he does the blues material, resulting in nice pieces like the 10:18 example.
I wouldn't be opposed to the full score being released.
Bubba: "You don't know how much I was hopin' you wouldn't show up here..."
"quick fix"
By: Larry Blank
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5vcjbq
Suite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXOElO8glIc
This is Blank's first effort for the series.
Blank hasn't done very much composing for film and TV, looking over his website an IMDb page. He's orchestrated on some Marc Shaiman scores.
"homecoming"
By: Nan Schwartz
NO LOAD FOUND.
The one up is mislabeled and is from season five, titled "Family Reunion".

By: David Bell
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5vcjbf

This is the second time in two or three seasons it's been mentioned Bubba was a sergeant. Still no explanation given for why he lost them and was demoted.
Tibbs: "Now, honey, don't burn anything else for me, I gotta run."
Bubba: "Well, I'd like to make my observation: the boy is dumb."
Bubba: "You a little innocent sometimes, ain't ya, Virgil?"
Chief: "Well, he's naive, you know? Naive."
I stumbled upon that back in 2014 Showtime was developing a new TV series. I don't know what happened or if a pilot was filmed, but some things have changed and as of 2017 they are apparently not only still developing it but foregoing a pilot and having scripts written to go directly to series.
Much like my fears of two other TV series which were re-vived, which were proven to have been correct, I fear this new iteration will be a load of crap to push certain beliefs and agendas.
The time for a series like this has passed, and they certainly aren't going to do better than Carol O'Connor. Leave it alone, I say.

Parker: "She always calls me 'jackass'."
"no other road"
By: Larry Blank
There is no point in linking to the video. Even though he is credited in the end credits, his score was rejected for being too "melodic". The episode was tracked with existing cues from Bell and Schwartz.
I sent Mr. Blank a link to he video to see if he could hear any cues by him left in and he said he'd take a look; he says he's pretty sure all of it was dumped. I guess they were too cheap to pay to change the credit once it was made.
On a related note, Mr. Blank has allowed me to share a brief story:
He was told that Carol O'Connor told the producers that his score to "quick fix" was one of his favorites. High praise, sure enough. :-)

Highlights:
6:30/8:57/10:35 in.
20:37 in.
3510 in.
39:40 in.
I wouldn't be opposed to the whole score being released.
Man, some of these episode loads have the commercial promos for the episode before them, and they sure did bullshit the audience with these! This is yet another bullshit promo.
Bubba: "Excuse me, (name I can't make out), I got to get to the phone there."
Bar Employee: "It's our phone."
Bubba: "Yeah. Yeah it is. You gonna be a nice guy and let me use it, ain't'cha?"
Sweet: "You know, if we had you up at the station, we'd let you use our phone."
Bubba: "Would you like to go to the station?"
And that concludes season four.

Bubba mentions Parker has also lose stripes as well.

Jamison: "Oh, well, if you were just waitin' to be told by somebody to move, well, now you've been told."
"baby for sale"
By: David Bell
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5vcjig
Highlights:
33:01 in.
37:10 in. Some car chase music. More at 40:08 in.
Carol O'Connor's delivery is getting slow and paced out. I wonder if he had a medical incident that took his health down a notch.
Chief: "Oh, I'm very interested, but I don't think it's any of my business."

About 42:20 in.
Bubba acknowledges how he treated Virgil back in the short season one. How the force was back during that season and what it became in season two, was just sort og glanced over until now (except a flash back of a character that vanished after season one ended). It is in my opinion, that at least half a year lapsed in-verse time between season one and season two, though characters on screen not only don't say that but even make it out in season four to have been shorter than four years.
More jazzy than normal, with some different ideas than previous scores, and some sax' thrown into the mix.
"sparta gold"
By: David Bell
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5vcjim
Highlights:
3:40/6:16/11:15 in.
22:46 in.
26:45 in.
34:05 in.
35:58/37:50 in.
This is like the third episode score work in a musical reframe from the song "On the Road Again"; the "the road again". Mike Post & Pete Carpenter also did that in a cue from "Hunter". It's probably just a coincidence, but the song was just a mere few years earlier.
"an eye for an eye"

"moseley's lot"
By: Nan Schwartz

Highlights:
28:29 in.
32:40 in. The laid-back kind of country and easy-listening bar source music.
35:55 in.
3715 in.
I didn't care much for a good portion of this score, that used an accordion to annoying affect.
"family reunion"
By: Nan Schwartz
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5vcjph
This episode score was nominated for a prime time Emmy, but didn't win. This is the only episode score to get a nomination. Other nominees:
"Matlock"
Episode: "The Strangler"
Composer: Bruce Babcock
(WINNER)
"Star Trek: The Next Generation"
Episode: "Unification: Part 1"
Composer: Dennis McCarthy
"The Simpsons"
Episode: "Treehouse of Horror II"
Composer: Alf Clausen
Highlights:
7:02 in.

26:35 in.
29:10 in.
34:03 in.
40:00 in.
43:36 in.
Think ItHotN ideas mixed into the closing "Seinfeld" music.
It's enjoyable, but she's certainly done better for the series. Why this one and no other episode scores nominated? Or other composers' episode scores?
Insurance Man: "People are going to say you're odd."
Chief: "That's what they do say."
Insurance Man: "Some will say you're crazy."
Chief: "Yeah, they'll say that, too."
"sanctuary"
By: Nan Schwartz
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5vcjpi
Highlights:
4:50 in.
25:58 in.
29:47 in.
33:08 in.
34:35 in. This must be one of the few rare uses of snare drum in the series' scoring.
There is a cue titled "Sanctuary" in her website, and it's clearly from this score, but it doesn't fit anywhere. Part of the opening is from the last time stamp I cite, and other parts sounds like they are parts from other parts of cues. Maybe it's an edit job on her site.

Finishing SEASON FIVE:
"the law on trial"
By: Nan Schwartz
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5vcjpj
Highlights:
About 9:28 in.
11:38 in.
About 24:20 in.
38:27 in.
41:11 in.
I can't tell how much of the music is new material or re-used score from the previous episode, since there are plenty of flashbacks.
This is the second time we've heard Chief listening to classical music. Apparently that's what his character likes.
And that concludes season five.
