Continuing SEASON 2:
"The Hit"
By: Richard Shores
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShzUnoBmsYA
Highlights:
12:35 in. And the cue after the commercial break.^(both)
27:02 in.
37:31 in. The restaurant source music. And the score cue that immediately follows it (re-uses the plucked strings idea Stevens did in an early season one episode).
15:42 in: more of that Immel cues tracked into yet another episode. Granted it's an edgy cool cue, but it's hard for other composes to come up with something that can also be tracked if you don't give them a chance.
20:49 in: Yet more tracked Immel score. Then afterwards, they track more of that same above cue!
46:42 in: And a third time that Immel cues is edited up into the episode. Half the episode score is a track job of Immel alone.
"Silence"
By: Richard Shores
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxq-i346DQQ
Highlights:
2:44 in.
8:26 in.
47:16 in. Unfortunately, I think over half this is tracked Stevens score from one of the early season one episodes.
And yup -- there's that whimsical closing cue again!
0:00 in: There's that Immel cue again.
13:07: And yet again the Immel cue. Something else is edited onto the end, but it doesn't sound familiar.
5:27 in: tracked score; I think Stevens work.
45:10 in: Another tracked cue. Don't recall which composer.
"Music by" was not accurate at all. A more accurate credit would have been: "Some Original Music by".
"Incident Near a Black and White"
By: Richard Shores
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bICoHm6LCJU
Highlights:
3:55 in. This might be tracked (Stevens or Immel).
24:38 in.^
46:32 in. Sounds like this was inspired by Immel (unless it is a cue by him that I am just not recognizing off hand).
And there's that whimsical closing cue again, this time with an opening bit I don't recall hearing before.
1:31 in: Pretty sure that's tracked from season one and a Stevens effort.
" The Melting Point of Ice"
By: Morton Stevens
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bF6Nyx-Ibu8
Highlights:
1:30 in. Sounds familiar; might be tracked Immel score (it's got that sound). Pauses for like three seconds.^
5:19 in.
10:22 in.
43:32 in.^
45:50 in. Some of this this is tracked Stevens score.^
Yup, you guessed it -- the whimsical closing cue strikes again! This cue is surely going to make a list of the most tracked cues in an episode of any TV series.
33:06 in: Tracked.
The climax car chase is also all tracked, best I can tell.
"The Pawn Shop"
By: Morton Stevens
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bll113IkcLA
Highlights:
3:16 in.^(parts)
18:06 in.
27:51 in.
47:22 in. I don't know if this is tracked or not (doesn't sounds familiar); up to the noted start time, it was all tracked Immel.
Oh yes, why end an episode without that whimsical closing cue? Said every producer on that show, all the time
Guest-starring Joan Collins.
4:58 in: more tracked Immel score. Immel did one or two episodes with these cues that keep tracking in and the producers apparently went bonkers over them. Granted, it's good stuff, but damn -- does it have to be tracked into nearly every single episode since then?
45:59 in: tracked in again.
One thing is for sure, tracking it so often will help me do a patch work job where I can end up with the best nearly SFX free cues I can get.

Concluding SEASON 2:
And this batch has me finishing all the credited scores of season two.
"Angela"
By: Morton Stevens

Highlights:
1:29 in.^
3:56 in.^(parts: opening/6:52)
16:38 in.
17:27 in.^
20:56 in.
47:19 in: That classical music, right?
"Wednesday's Child"
By: Richard Shores
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkZDHjdaMOU
Highlights:
5:49 in.^(parts)
8:13 in.^
14:01 in.
About 20:30 in.
27:49 in.^
36:35 in.
38:39 in.
45:07 in. Somewhere after 46:00 in, it cuts to tracked Immel score. About 48:50 in the original scor9ng picks back up.
I think highlights one, two, and six might be tracked.
For the guys here: 21:14 in. You're welcome.
"Generation of Evil"
By: Jerrold Immel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyQhO-JkWtY
Highlights:
8:57 in.
21:56 in.
26:48 in. The disco-ish source music. Oh, and guys, if you don't mind seeing hot girls dancing around in tight skimpy clothing, this viewing is for you...^
32:37 in.^(parts)
48:05 in.
2:29 in: tracked scoring. I can't say off hand who the composer is, though I'm leaning toward Stevens.
14:48 in: tracked.
44:21 in: tracked.
"Double Image"
By: Richard Shores
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7L6gi-XhM8
Highlights:
Around 14:00 in. The disco source music that starts somewhere around that time. I'm not doubling back to find a precise time. And the score cue that immediately follows it; got some cool action music (that'll probably get tracked like crazy now, too).
29:08 in.
33:13 in.^
35:28 in.
0:00 in: tracked.
3:00 in: There's that tracked Immel cue again!
30:21/32:42 in: tracked scoring bits.
35:20/35:38 in: tracked.
44:32 in: tracked Immel once again.
49:15 in: I expected her to start rambling about "large grains of salt"...
"Mother Love"
By: Morton Stevens
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yJF-g86iS0
Highlights:
5:52 in.
34:52 in.^
For the guys here: 6:30 in...
0:00 in: tracked.
16:30 in: pretty sure that's tracked.
29:19 in: tracked.
29:35 in: tracked. I think this is Stevens though.
36:17 in: tracked Immel.
40:47 in: there's that Immel cue tracked again. About 46:50 it switches to score I don't readily recognize.

Continuing SEASON 3:
I missed a bunch of episodes in season three, but as usual I am breaking it down to five or six at a time.
"Tender Soldier"
By: Morton Stevens
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzmq3aWES8U
Highlights:
13:22 in.
I'd be surprised if there is any original scoring in the episode, despite what the credit reads.
1:31 in: tracked. About half-way in I think it switches to Immel.
13:32 in: tracked Stevens score; parts of two different cues, it sounds like, unless Steven made a cue very similar to prior works (which I can't rule out).
17:00 in: sounds like tracked Stevens score.
21:10 in: tracked Stevens score.
34:09 in: tracked Stevens score.
44:37 in: more tracked Stevens score.
47:30 in: Two different cues edited up and tracked in.

Highlights:
1:32 in.

31:37 in.
47:35 in.
On a set of season three scoring, I'm not sure I'd include any of this.
45:07 in: tracked.
Bill: "Sixty-four cents for two coffees???"
"Bait"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuJO4wn93No
Highlights:
1:31 in.
9:16 in.
13:38 in.
39:04 in. Joining a cue already in progress.
I'm not sure how much, if anything I'd include from this on a set of season four scoring. I'm not even sure, quite frankly, if there is any original material.
For the guys here: 19:36 in. You're welcome.
23:50 in: tracked.
35:21 in: tracked.
"Father to the Man"

About 23:20 in: tracked.

"The Disco Killer"
By: Morton Stevens
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrQNf_fo9h8 (NEW link as of July 26, 2021)
Here's to hoping for a lot of disco scoring and disco source cues...
Highlights:
47:43 in.^
Honestly, I'm not sure any of the cues I didn't note as being tracked, aren't also tracked. I can't say for certain there is any original scoring in this episode. And there was ZERO disco!!!
And the whimsical closing cue strikes again!
0:00 in: tracked.
7:54 in: tracked.
For the guys here: 11:07 in. You're welcome.
23:37 in: two different cues edited up and tracked.
42:42 in: tracked. Pretty sure it's Stevens.
"Shark"
By: Morton Stevens
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7VmIt3x87M
Highlights:
22:27 in.
30:40 in.
I can't even say with any certainly the two cues I cited are even original. I doubt there was any original scoring in the episode.
0:00 in: tracked.
1:31 in: tracked. Without doing a direct comparison, I think there might also be some Markowitz here, too.
8:51 in: tracked Immel.
16:20 in: tracked.
33:24 in: an edit job of tracked cues.
35:55 in: tracked.

Concluding SEASON 3:
"Bondage"
By: Morton Stevens
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN03xF1oRc4 (NEW link as of July 26, 2021)
Highlights:
24:54 in.
30:07 in.
44:18 in. Now that is some funky source music that kicks ass.^
45:28 in. I don't think that opening part is tracked, I think it's just very very similar to another cue Stevens did in season one.
The whimsical closing cue that just wouldn't go away.
33:28 in: tracked.
"Silky Chamberlain"
By: Morton Stevens
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAD6WnqP8o0
Highlights:
38:15 in.
On a set of season three scoring, I'd skip this episode score.
And, of course, the whimsical closing cue strikes again.
12:08 in: I like that shot of the sun.
0:00 in: tracked Stevens score.
45:09 in: tracked.

14: 25 in: tracked.
About 27:00 in: tracked. I don't know if the opening and closing part of the music is also tracked. I think this is Romanis.
42:14 in: tracked. I think the part when the kid is walking into the church, may be Markowitz.

32:03 in.
35:22 in.
43:59 in. About 47:45 in it switches to tracked score.^
48:36 in. Stevens cue with what is happening on screen, creates one highly effective disturbing ending to the episode.^
1:32 in: tracked.
"Ambition"
By: Morton Stevens
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNFctjUpRBk
Highlights:

22:13 in. The ending it tracked.^(parts)
24:59 in.^
29:02 in.
About 37:14 in. And the cue after the commercial break (about 39:20 in it sounds like it's tracked).^(both: parts)
Just noticed -- no idea how long it's been going on since it didn't start out this way -- but Stevens is getting not only billing before the cast, but he gets the FIRST one!
1:32 in: tracked.
8:58 in: tracked. The second cue I think is tracked, too.
"Tigress"
By: Morton Stevens
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLa32Nnhd-c
Highlights:
34:45 in.
43:52 in.
Sure! Why not toss the whimsical closing cue onto the end, too.
27:15 in: I like that exchange about "swank".
4:55 in: tracked.
22:55 in: tracked. And the cue after the commercial break is also tracked.
"Sunset"

1:32 in. Brief yummy bit of side boob.
7:00 in.^

[quote=Justin Boggan]"Shadow of a Doubt"
By: Richard Markowitz
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCNIBL7sp7s
This is the only effort for the series by Markowitz.
Highlights:
1:32 in.
About 5:55 in.
37:10 in.
43:25 in.
That's nearly all of the score. [/quote]
Only Markowitz didn't write a note of it.
As many of you know, prior to the composers' strike of 1980 (over-shadowed, as it were, by the legendary actors' strike that same long, hot year) stock score TV episodes often contained musical cues from multiple composers with only one of their names slapped on the end credits -- either due to contract billing issues or just luck-of-the-draw.
Markowitz didn't compose a single cue for POLICE WOMAN ever, let alone this specific episode -- although he did compose scores for the parent series, POLICE STORY...
So why does he take, or receive, a credit for POLICE WOMAN's "Shadow of a Doubt" installment? Who knows?
Maybe it was a contract certain-number-of-screen-credits issue with Columbia TV. Or perhaps a mistake...
These things could get very sloppy back in the day. But given how long Markowitz was denied credit for WILD, WILD WEST, he's earned a freebie or two. Hopefully he was compensated.
In the Season 2 POLICE WOMAN episode, "Double Image" (with guest star Catherine Burns) where Richard Shores (one of my all-time favorites) is given a "Music by" screen credit, not a single cue used was by Shores... But at least Shores actually composed three original scores for POLICE WOMAN ("Smack," "Target Black" -- which were heavily tracked throughout the last half of Season 1, arguably the best or most consistent era of the show, and "Brain Wash" from Season 3 and even that was supplemented with stock cues from other composers).
So this stuff got awfully messy, credit-wise.

See also Lalo Schifrin getting an Emmy nomination for scoring the Mission: Impossible episode "The Seal"... which was heavily tracked!
OMG -- seriously??
Yes, it's true. Ironically, Lalo Schifrin had no involvement with Mission: Impossible in its second season (the season including "The Seal"), probably due to commitments to Mannix and several film features: The President's Analyst, The Fox, Cool Hand Luke, Who's Minding The Mint? The little bit of original music that is heard in the episode (for Rollin's trance scenes) was, in fact, composed by Jack Urbont. Schifrin, did, however, contribute several substantial scores for subsequent season's episodes, but the people largely responsible for the music in season 2 were Walter Scharf, Gerald Fried, Jerry Fielding and Bob Drasnin.

Cedar Abbey, that was interesting information you provided about the scoring. Only registered this month but you already had a great first post.
Can I ask: How did you know this information?

Just in the off chance anybody missed it, Dragon's Domain Records releases The Morton Stevens Collection: Volume2 which includes a long "Single Version" of the theme for this show (I haven't compared them, but presumably this is the same track from the obscure 2LP promo set of work from various projects by Stevens).
The thread for the release:
https://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=156480&forumID=1&archive=0&pageID=1&r=923#bottom
Hopefully this bods well for scoring from the show also getting released sooner rather than later.
