5:24 in.
7:32 in.
12:01 in.

41:40 in.
"The Taxman Cometh"
By: Richard Markowtiz
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x72tx0j
Highlights:
11:04 in.
25:13 in.
29:45 in. What's the name of that TV series this cue is parodying the famous theme from?
31:43 in.
Guest-starring Max Wright.
"From the Horse's Mouth"
By: David Bell
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2lE6m-1jPc
Highlights:
1:19 in. Soft, warm-ish string work.
7:52/9:05 in. Briefly contains Richard Markowitz's theme from the spin-off series "The Law and Harry McGraw"; been a year, at the time, that the spin-off was cancelled, but unlike other shows that had spin-off characters vanish, MSW really stuck with some of them!
10:01 in.
28:27 in.
41:25 in.

By: Richard Markowtiz
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxwwEVFkf30
Highlights:
43:01 in.
Not only were they a fan of keeping Harry McGraw alive, they were also fond of keeping a character alive from a back-door pilot that never went to series; he's been in several episodes since, including this one, sometimes taking the show over, with Jessica being briefly seen or not seen at all.
For the guys here: 7:25 in. You're welcome.

13:54 in.
19:02 in.

Fourth Wall breaking in the end of the episode.

SEASON 8:
Sorry, all loads so far for this season, are only up at Dailymotion. I know, it sucks. If you are one of those people who pay for view/downloads at online stores, you can go there.
There has been a major composer shake up. This isn't like "Falcon's Crest" which evidently realized it's mistake and brought the composers back after one season or so; Bell and Markowitz didn't come back.
Noticeably cheaper and more synth sounding. Also doesn't fit like the music of David Bell. Must have been a budgetary thing.
Not bad music, but just not of the same quality, and some of it sounds dated to the 1980's, even though it's 1991 this season.

In a large room with two LARGE windows? How do you hide people in a room where the enemy can look into the windows, or if they can't, demand access to the room with large windows they hadn't been in yet? AND a chimney!

Continuing SEASON 8:
All episodes this season are by Jeff Sturges.
"Terminal Connection"
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x72tyrj
Highlights:
1:19 in. That's one weird-looking jet.
11:39 in.
16:36 in.
"A Killing in Vegas"
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x72tywu
Highlights:
1:20 in.
4:01 in. Big jazzy swing band piece.
7:28 in. Casino source music.
12:40 in.
20:46 in.
24:09 in.
29:48 in.
33:54 in.
Some of the cues sound like he's posthumously auditioning for "Vega$".
"The Committee"
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x72tz4p
Highlights:
32:42 in. I' probably skip this cue on a set of season eight scoring.
The cue after the opening credits, sounds like it's tracked from a prior Sturges-scored episode.
And episode like this makes me wish they hadn't gotten rid of David Bell. :-(
"The List of Yuri Lermentov"
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x72tz8e
Highlights:
1:20 in. A cue that opens big and rather bold, making you think of a science fiction space film.
6:36 in.
8:33 in.
20:12 in.
"Danse Diabolique"
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x72tzd5
Highlights:

11:10 in.*
About 33:20 in.
40:21 in.
* = I'd like to be inserted into that scene wit the girl...
About 23:30 in: That's classical music, right? If it's not and it's original scoring, then that would be a highlight, too.
"The Witch's Curse"
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x72tzj0
Highlights:
11:02 in.
19:25 in.
23:23 in.
37:06 in.
"Incident in Lot 7"
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x72tzma
Highlights:
1:19 in.
10:29 in. Including a quote from the stabbing music by Bernard Herrmann from the score to "Psycho", as a studio head points out the house from the film.
17:27 in.
20:57 in. Also includes a quote of the stabbing music from "Psycho".
37:23 in.*
Sigh. If this had been scored by David Bell, we'd have gotten another Herrmann-homage score, well done with an orchestra (like he did in a prior season). Sigh again. :-(
* = His speech about what isn't fair, could be applied to Bell and Markowitz!
For the guys here: 7:53 in. You're welcome.
Guest-starring Ron Glass (Shepherd Book from "Firefly")
Note: The scene "Psycho" that Jessica watches, the stairs stabbing scene, sounds like it's been re-recorded and made to sound old; it didn't sound right, so I compared it to the clip from the film on Youtube and they don't sound the same. Either that or another take was used.
"The Monte Carlo Murders"
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x72tzrf
Highlights:
1:20 in.
3:14 in.
11:42 in. Sounds like something that could have come out of a later season of "In the Heat of the Night".

Guest-starring Patrick Bauchau. and Bo Kopkins.

14:34 in.
20:35 in.
22:42 in.
39:15 in.
44:44/45:25 in.
A lot of wistful and pleasant cues in this episode. Most enjoyable episode score, over all, from Sturges.
"Oh, I wouldn't try to figure her out, sir; I never have." (to the police captain, about Jessica)
"Murder on Madison Avenue"
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3pf1ac
Highlights:
6:40 in.
in.
Guest-starring John Hillerman.
I'll probably have to split season nine up for Friday and Saturday, and -- pending available loads -- finish the show Wednesday. And then I'll go back and finish another TV series I was working on that I had to stop because of no loads (now there are loads).

Many many years ago one of the CBS "60 Minutes" spin-offs ran a segment on the music of "Murder, She Wrote" (or it could have been on the Sunday AM CBS news program). There was a discussion with one of the show's producers about the importance of the music -- and as I recall there was an extended section in which one of the composers (Bell I believe?) conducted a score in a recording booth to image playback. There were several interactions with the producer who asked for minor revisions, etc.
Has this episode ever surfaced online? I'd love to see it again. One of my best friends knew Bell back in the day and alerted me to the TV show or I'd probably have missed it back then.

SEASON 9:
Composer shakes up again, though Jeff Sturges is staying onboard (for now).
Last season even the opening credits sounded cheaper. This appears to be fixed (I'll have to do a direct comparison to know for sure).
I know, Dailymotion sucks, but all loads for this season are only up here.

12:14 in.
20:50 in.
32:41 in. And the cue shortly after it.
38:14 in.
42:02/43:26 in.
Mostly scoring evoking music you'd associate with Ireland.
5:27 of score is on the obscure Brue Babcock promo (which, thankfully, I have!). I don't have it handy, so I can't identify which cues are on it.
This score was nominated for an Emmy (I got to say, aside from the Irish flavor, I don't get it; there have been better episode scores that deserved a nomination). The other contenders that year:
"The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles"
Episode: "Young Indiana Jones and the Scandal of 1920"
Composer: Joel McNeely
WINNER
"Quantum Leap"
Episode: "Lee Harvey Oswald, Part 1"
Composer: Velton Ray Bunch
"The Simpsons"
Episode: "Treehouse of Horror III"
Composer: Alf Clausen
"The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles"
Episode: "Vienna, 1908"

8:27 in.
18:46/20:45 in.
24:56 in.
33:54 in.
36:30 in.
Another episode of a TV series built upon bullshit.
"A Christmas Secret"
By: Jonathan Tunick
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x72u1nn
This is Tunick's final effort for the series.
Highlights:
1:20 in. Christmas classic "Joy to the World".
11:48 in. Another Christmas classic
13:08 in.
20:55 in. Short eerie arrangement of "Tis' the Season to be Jolly" (or what ever it's called).
23:34 in.
38:56 in.
43:40 in. Another Christmas classic.
A score to a Christmas episode of a TV series needs -- in my opinion -- to check two boxes:
1. Arrangements of Christmas classics (doesn't matter if they are unique arrangements, though that is welcome).
2. Some cues should give the listener what I call "warm fuzzies".
"The Sound of Murder"

This score was nominated for an Emmy (personally, I don't get it, he's done better for the show). The other contenders that year:
"Seaquest: DSV"
Episode: "Daggers"
Composer: Don Davis
WINNER
"Star Trek: Voyager"
Episode: "Caretaker: Part 1"
Composer: Jay Chattaway
(What? Didn't this air as a TV movie length pilot, broken up only later for re-runs?)
"Star Trek: Voyager"
Episode: "Heroes and Demons"
Composer: Dennis McCarthy
(Note: Not covered on Volume 1 from La La Land Records; presumably this will have covered on a future volume)

Holy moly, I looked Angela up and she's almost a hundred years old and still acting! Not too much, of course. About six years away from being a century old.

"Murder Among Friends"
By: Bruce Babcock
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oLeUu3N_UE

While Buffy Summers was shunning cellphones until the last seasons and only in sometimes did she use one, Jessica Fletcher has no problem asking for one and using it.

Highlights:
16:10 in.
Guest-starring David Ogden Stiers. And Robert Pine (the captain from "CHiPs").
34:40 in: Can't you just hear that as an argument between Roger and Ebert?
Stiers' character: "You dolt! You're a cultural sinkhole, you're a troglodyte!"
I did a quick look for some of the TV movies again, yesterday, and there's at least one up, so tomorrow I'll try to do it and any others that are up.

TV MOVIES:
"Murder, She Wrote: The Last Free Man"
By: Stanley Clarke
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pc5x7AQf5U (in Russian)
Highlights:
2:15 in.
About 26:25 in. Joining a cue already in progress.
37:55 in.
58:36 in.
1:11:57 in.
1:13:30 in.
Guest-starring David Ogden Stiers. He got to be in the last episode of the series and the second-to-last TV movie.
The end credits are cut off, so I can't say if the Addison theme was used, otherwise I didn't spot it anywhere in the score.
None of this score needs to be released.
That was the only TV movie I could find up.

As for "Murder, She Wrote", if it's a YouTube video I linked to, you can pretty much assume it's been deleted since I started the thread
