How about doing a thread for “The Felony Squad”? Though Pete Rugolo composed the main theme and a few episodes, Gerald Fried, Alexander Courage, and Joseph Mullendore did some as well.

It's very likely I'll do "The Felony Squad" at some point. :-)
I just hope by then the unsold original pilot, "Men Against Evil", is fully available.

Friday I conclude the 2005 "Night Stalker" series, then next week I take a slight detour to "Kojak", since I don't have enough spooky titles to fill up October with. Then the final week or October and Halloween day, I close out with a poky music for a spooky series from a composer who made a career out of spooky music.

Monday I finish "Hunted" and then in honor of our veterans (since Veteran's Day is November 11), all month long I will be doing the series "Call to Glory". Other series will be done, too. Monday through Friday you can expect two series a day, maybe three on certain occasions, as when November ends, I am fucking off for the remainder of the year.

Suite #2 for Schifrin for "Mannix", has been blocked worldwide even though it contains no videos and fits under Fair Use. At some point I'll re-up blocked suites to another provider for people to hear.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following "Mannix" suites have also fallen victim to being blocked:
Jerry Fielding: #1, #2
Richard Hazard: #1
Lalo Schifrin: #2

I need some help from users here.
I've complained about the wonky Archive.org video player, where you need to wait for the page to fully load, then click on the video in the list, otherwise it starts at the top and plays the first video, not the one specifically linked to.
However, I think I found a work around and I need a handful of users to test this to see if it works. I think if I use an embed link, it will only play the specific video and not start from the top of the list.
So, can some users click on this link and let me know if it plays the regular-length episode I linked to and not the feature-length pilot film?

No more TV show updates or new threads this year, I am taking December off.
See you January 3 when I start "Columbo" and possibly a second TV series simultaneously.
SUITES:
Please feel free to make suggestions. I got a lot lined up that I hope to do, time and life permitting, in 2023, but I still want to be able to do nice stuff like this for people's special wants.

Suites to expect early next year (not early January, though): Morton Stevens, the first of multiple suites covering a show scored by Mike Post & Pete Carpenter, John Williams TV work, Laurence Rosenthal; and a suite of most of the score from an awful "Mystery Science Theater 3000"-worthy movie, which sounds like night club jazz. Anything else is not for sure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If all goes well and there are no unexpected set backs, I hope to have three or four suites up Tuesday. Names you'll likely see:
Morton Stevens
John Williams
Jeff Beal
And not a name clue, but an unreleased Christmas score. A belated suite for Christmas.

This week's suites.
"Gilded Lilys"
Composer: Jeff Beal
https://youtube.com/watch?v=hZ8AJBH1C_w
Score from a failed pilot from 2013.
The way I would describe the pilot is: an alternate crappy version of "Titanic", without the disaster, and world building off ship. It was boring and the love interest was not buyable. Complete misfire that had the audacity to end on a cliffhanger.
The wonderful orchestral score is sadly unreleased. Hopefully La La Land sees this and hears the suite; they've done scores from Beal before. This score should be released.
The pilot had no on-screen credits, so I took a screen grab of a beautiful looking scene. I wanted to put his name on it in some kind of royal font in shinny gold, but I never could find the right font or gold combo. Oh well.
"Million Dollar Hospital"
Composer: John Williams
https://youtube.com/watch?v=DLJaubEZxP4
A failed pilot co-starring William Shatner that was burned off on "Alcoa Theatre".
Not so much anything special, but a point of curiosity for fans.
"Strangers in 7A"
Composer: Morton Stevens
https://youtube.com/watch?v=3P3SDwXeMOk
Suite #1 (of two) covering this unreleased treat.
One part of a cue was tracked twice in the TV movie, so I deleted the repeat.
Special thanks to MRAUDIO, for allowing me to avoid watching this thing.
"Small Town Santa"
Composer: Todd Maki
https://youtube.com/watch?v=Cb0EfEMeNjk
And a belated suite for Christmas from one of those mediocre endless stream of Hallmark Christmas movies.
The movie itself is quite poor. But there's a weird thing to note: The Santa in this TV movie comes across like a jolly Hannibal Lector. He's got this look on his face, the way he speaks to you … he's even behind jail bars most of the time. The casting and direction for this Santa, leaves a lot to be desired.
The Elfman-esque vibes in the opening and two-part end credits cue, are quite nice.

This week's suites.
"The Double McGuffin"
Composer: Euel Box
https://youtube.com/watch?v=X19UAUofJz8
This suite skips the boring material that's really nothing worth listening to, and instead focuses in the Mike Post-ish funky music.
"The Rousters"
Composers: Mike Post & Pete Carpenter
https://youtube.com/watch?v=yOt7AO8p9t0
Suite #1 (of an unknown number of suites that will cover the entire short-lived spin-off series).
"The Yesterday Machine"
Composer: Don Zimmers
https://youtube.com/watch?v=3xG0UM2ryBY
Oh my goodness .. how to explain this low-budget film? Well, "Mystery Science Theater 3000" worthy is one way. So, what you do is you take a bunch of bad writing, bad actors, time travel, and an evil NAZI, and shove it all together. The result is this film.

I absolutely will consider them. I hope to do both shows at some point as threads.
