I realize ow -- thanks to a comment on the video - that the opening cue and cues like it in suite #1 for Frontiere on "Matt Houston, is actually score tracked from The Stuntman (score released by Intrada):

Yeah. It's on my To Do list this year, just haven't gotten around to it yet.

The mystery series I posted a sneak preview suite for, has come along quickly since I put a lot of time into it. Looks like I'll have it done and suites ready for what I deem the summer months (May, June, and July).
Also, there will be no suites the last week of this month. The second week off I mentioned earlier that I needed. I may need a third week. We'll see (there's a special western suite I want to do for the summer months).

No decision on "Longstreet" as of yet. I need to get certain things out of the way before I can start counting up how many more suites I have to do to get threw November, then I';ll know for sure what's what.
Turns out nearly every single link to "Chase" is gone and can't be replaced at this time (if you know of something I don't feel free to post), so only four episodes are up. I'll make a suite from two of them and that should get one full fifteen-minute suite. :-)
By the by, if you have an ok.ru account, you may be able to help with links to hidden videos, which might include "Chase" and other series. If you do, feel free to e-mail me. Nobody go out of their way to create an account.

But don't stop making suggestions. I just need three or four weeks to finish things and know where I am at.

This week's suites. The last suites for April.
And a note about future suites afterwards.
"Paper Dolls"
Composer: Mark Snow
https://youtube.com/watch?v=wTqLlmw0P1M
This suite covers the feature-length pilot (which I missed on my thread for the show) and selections from the first few episodes afterwards. No further suites are planned.
This goes back to his early days of scoring when everything did not sound like his X-pallet work.
"Under Suspicion"
Composer: Joseph Vitarelli
https://youtube.com/watch?v=w6mPm_U-SEk
This is one of those point of interest suites, where maybe some people will enjoy this, but I suspect most will not.
This was a TV series back in 1994 that last one fairly full season.
I wanted to make a full suite. There was a channel on YouTube that had two or three episodes, but then after like ten years of almost near dormancy, a few months ago the user started uploading the rest of the series. When I went back to get more score, the channel had been copyrighted out of existence.
This is almost exclusively extremely tailored sound design with little flourishes here and there. I included the theme music and two bumper cues.
NOTES:
So, for the last two to three years I have been doing TV series for what I deem the main Summer months: May, June, and July. That is when I like to do westerns and some police/law TV series. That's still a thing this year, how ever, I am also adding special Summer suites.
Each month will feature one special western suite; where I take score from other episodes that tracked it, and repair bad parts, to come up with cleaner cues. So three VERY special TV western suites coming. Especially the Morton Stevens one for July.
There will also be some cop/law suites for the Summer months.

Not the pilot, mis-labeled. All active links are in the "Chase" thread I did.

What to expect from Monday's suites (which might have to be posted Tuesday):
I begin my Summer suites with -- hopefully -- every week one western or cop/law series suite. Still two suites a week, just one Summer one each week.
To kick off each month during what I deem the Summer months (May, June, and July), I will present a special suite, where I take an episode of a TV series and find episodes that tracked the score, and replace bad parts with cleaner parts. So, with that in mind, next week a very special Morton Stevens suite begins May.
The second regular suite: a Gerald Fried.

This week's suites.
"Destry"
Composer: Morton Stevens
https://youtube.com/watch?v=KZg2RnqlZ1g
Stevens is only credited for the first aired episode, but the producers must have liked his score and they tracked it into all episodes that didn't have a credited composer. The IMDb credits are complete and accurate (three by Goldsmith and one by Mockridge).
So, I went threw the series and found cleaner or clean parts of tracked cues and pasted them over the bad sections.
One thing became apparent while working this score: this is hands down the worst in-episode tracking of a supposed original score I have ever heard. I've never encountered anything this bad before. The entire approximate three opening is 99.9% a track job of cues throughout the episode, except one little bit which I couldn't otherwise salvage, so I left as is. Score from the episode is tracked and edited up here and there, almost no cues appear to be presented as recorded (some are never heard in full even when tracked bits are used), and scene appear to have been re-edited after-the-fact, cutting in cues during a score cue (I tried to fix this best I could).
Even track-job episodes feature score obviously by Stevens, but dropped from the episode. I could only salvage pieces of these un-used cues.
This was a massive time-consuming deal. I hope people enjoy.
"Murder is Easy"
Composer: Gerald Fried
https://youtube.com/watch?v=RBlOr6A8Cl0
A TV movie. Most of the opening credits was re-used, so I took that re-used music and pasted over bad parts in the opening credits, so make it better.

Oh, additional note: I do intend to cover the three episodes Goldsmith did, but looks like that wont' happen until next year.
