"Hopes and Dreams"
By: Dana Kaproff

4:13 in. More of that material heard in the first highlight.
7:05 in.
10:22 in.
42:23 in.
46:30 in.
I think I cited every single cue in the episode, so I might as well say the whole score should be released.
"Choices"
By: Dana Kaproff
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6deDaA-GqQ
Highlights:
0:00 in.
21:35 in. Tender and delicate piece with piano, some acoustic guitar and some strings.
32:01 in.
I think that was nearly the entire score.
That's it -- season two was that short!

SEASON 4:
Since there is so little scoring in each episode, I am able to do the entire season today, and have time to move on to season five.
"Child Witness"
By: Dana Kaproff
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75xNdA8MZLA
Highlights:
0:00 in.
1:49 in.
11:56/14:51/28:32 in.
46:43 in.
"Heat"
This episode has no score, so no composer is credited. The score in the opening showing what is going to happen on this episode, is tracked from a prior episode. There were a small number of later episodes which also have no composer credited, but I don't know if they are tracked or score-less (I'll find out).
"Insubordination"
By: Ron Ramin
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Le-AX8SiOQ
Highlights:
About 2:00 in.

16:53 in. Over two minutes of mainly strings that reminds me of a cue from "The Thorn Birds".
22:47 in. Including some chase music.
42:01 in.
46:18 in.
I think I cited every single cue, except maybe a restaurant source piece, so I might as well say the whole score should be released.

Highlights:
9:24 in.
14:39/22:45 in. Solo piano and solo flute piece.

I think I cited every cue, so I might as well say the whole score should be released.

Highlights:
5:08 in. Piano, strings and a flute.
6:13 in.

Highlights:
0:00 in.
1:48 in.
4:40 in.
11:59 in.
21:19 in. Nearly SFX free cue.
32:12 in.
35:07 in. Short but good.
47:00 in.
That's the entire score I cited, so the entire score should be released.
"Out of Control"
By: Ian Freebairn-Smith
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDEW08VjahU
This is Freebairn-Smith's only effort for the series.
Highlights:
0:00 in.

0:00 in.
2:04 in. Upbeat yet restrained classical-sounding string work.
4:13/13:05 in.
22:47 in.
Except the source pieces, that's the entire score I cited. The whole score should be released.

Highlights:
1:16 in.
25:58 in.
43:59 in.
46:55 in.

"Stress"
By: Dana Kaproff
Highlights:
1:17 in.
6:43 in.
31:51 in.
35:35 in.
40:41 in.

38:31 in.
41:19/43:47 in.

1:17 in.
3:31/15:52/30:13 in.
23:23 in.
43:19 in.
46:40 in.
That's every single cue I cited (minus radio source music, which is probably original material), so I might as well say the whole score should be released.

"Two Grand"
By: Dana Kaproff
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q81tRRhk0c0
Highlights:
16:52 in.
46:39 in.
Minus the string quartet players which I assume were playing existing classical work (27:10 in), that's all the score.
"Con Games"
By: Ron Ramin
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnFyLJC1Oqc
Highlights:
0:00 in.
33:11 in.
36:32 in.
45:33 in.

"Violation"
By: Dana Karpoff
Highlights:
0:00 in.
1:48 in.
20:28 in.
23:06 in.
40:03 in.
Mark: "But Dennis Becky showed a spontaneous gesture of humanitarianism; he paid a hundred dollars for an authentic Barry Manilow shirt."
That's every single cue I cited, so I might as well say the entire score should be released.
"Organized Crime"
By: Nan Schwartz
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrgVpIeD1EU
Highlights:
0:00 in.
1:50 in.
6:12 in.
19:16 in.
31:08 in.
41:51/42:54 in.
47:09 in.
That's all but one or two cues I cited.
This score was nominated for an Emmy, but lost. The other competition that year:
"Miami Vice"
Episode: Evan" (the Hammer)
"Dynasty"
Episode: "Triangles" (Angela Morley)
"St. Elsewhere"
Episode: "Fade to White" (J.A.C. Redford)
"Murder, She Wrote"
Episode: "Murder of Sherlock Holmes" (John Addison)
WINNER
This was the only score in the series to get a nomination, which is odd considering the quality of the scoring. There should have been more nominations and wins.
I'm going to say it now rather than wait until I am done with the show: This is some of the finest scoring of any TV series.

Make sure you check out the scoring, Yavar, and then comment and let us know what you think and if you're on the C&L bandwagon.
I've edited my above post to include the rest of the highlights, after the episode "The Lottery".

You're welcome. And Loretta Swift played her in the pilot.
|
|
|

Yeah the recasting of a main character seems to apply not only to the actresses playing the character, but the character itself!
"Actress Loretta Swit played the role of Christine Cagney in the original television movie (October 1981), but was forced to decline the role in the series when the producers of M*A*S*H refused to let her out of her contract. When the movie was picked up as a series, first airing with six episodes as a midseason replacement in the spring of 1982, Meg Foster portrayed the character. When the show was picked up for a regular season in 1982, Foster was replaced with Sharon Gless because CBS deemed Foster too aggressive and too likely to be perceived as a lesbian by the viewers.[2]
CBS executives hoped Gless would portray Cagney as more conventionally "feminine" and attempted to pressure the producers to remake Christine into a more "high-class", snobbish woman from wealthy parents. Barney Rosenzweig and Barbara Corday initially refused to change Christine Cagney from a tough, witty, working-class woman. Shortly into Gless's tenure on the program, Rosenzweig and Corday compromised with the network brass."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cagney_&_Lacey
I have my hands pretty full for the next couple months, but I'll check out some episodes when I can.
I gotta say, it's a little bizarre that Mark Snow scored the pilot (he's older than I thought!) when I associate him more with modern shows like The X-Files and Smallville, but Nelson Riddle succeeded him scoring regular episodes of the show, when I associate him more with, well, the 60s Batman!

Yeah I'd already checked out his IMDb. It's just surprising to me (even though now I know he's only a couple decades younger than Riddle), that Mark (X-Files, including the current iteration) Snow wrote the pilot score for a show that was later scored by Nelson (60s Batman) Riddle.

"Disenfranchised"
By: Ron Ramin
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCn7x6hQj8c
Highlights:
0:00 in.
2:02 in. A cue that starts out with child-like innocents, then starts to turn dark.
3:35 in.
12:16 in.
14:50 in. Upbeat but restrained brief montage cue.
20:30/26:06 in.
30:04 in.
44:09 in.
I think I cited every cue, so I might as well say the whole score should be released.
I've said it before, but I got to say it again: Mr. Ramin is a really talented composer.
NO LOAD FOUND.

"The Marathon"

This is Debney's only effort for the series.
Highlights:
2:02 in.
13:07 in.
16:41 in.
20:35 in.
25:00/26:30 in. Short fast-paced spirited montage cue. The next one is similar (in the opening) and would naturally go together.
29:44/31:22 in. And after the commercial break.
38:28 in.
39:19 in.
45:30 in.
That's most of the score.
At the time he was doing a lot of Disney stuff, even Winnie the Pooh.
Sing along!
Yes it is true, he was scoring the Pooh, every day at Disney corner.

7:34/8:01 in.
30:05 in.
31:19 in.
40:54 in.
43:26 in.
44:33 in.
46:55 in. Yeah, it's a short outro cue, but it's nice.
That's everything except two short cues. It's good, but it's not a top tier effort. Maybe a borderline second tier effort.
Nothing says "Christmas" like an episode about a rapist.

I think I cited all the whole score (minus source pieces), so I might as well say the whole score should be released. The multiple examples one works in order, surprisingly, so it could be a suite.
