Continuing SEASON 1:

Doubling back to yet another episode that was not up when I did this thread. Sadly, still had to skip over one I missed, so I won't be able to conclude season one when the time comes.



"A Seat by the Window" (26)
By: Earle Hagen and Billy May
https://ok.ru/video/2405185030795

Highlights:
  • 0:00 in.^
  • 1:02 in.^
  • 6:05 in. Some softer material.^
  • 8:42 in.^
  • 10:26 in. So much cool scoring in this series.^
  • 30:06 in.^
  • 32:15 in.^
  • 42:15 in. Joining a cue already in progress for the cool material.^
  • 44:19 in.^
  • 45:39 in.
  • 46:55 in. And the cue after the commercial break.^
  • 50:32 in.^

    That's almost all the episode score, minus source music (which there was quite a bit of). I guess one or wo the source cues from the place where the singers were, might be okay, but really it's the score cues proper that should be released.

    (Note to Me: 10:00/gif)

    Link On possibly going into Mexico, "You want me to bring you back some tacos?"
    Captain Greer: "No thanks, I'll settle for the killer."

    Out-of-context quote...
    Captain Greer: "Link -- how's you drive shaft?"

    Continuing SEASON 2:

    Doubling back to redo an entry. Previously some entries had loads that froze and I could not complete the episodes.


    "An Eye For an Eye"
    By: Billy May
    https://ok.ru/video/4139576920717

    Highlights:
  • 14:43 in. There is very little scoring in first half of the episode and as a result, by the time this cue hits, it's only like the third cue.^
  • 17:55 in.^
  • 27:02 in.^
  • 35:09 in.^
  • 36:55 in. And the cue after the commercial break.^(both)
  • 41:12 in.^
  • 43:30 in.^
  • 45:49 in.^
  • 47:11 in.^

    (Note to Me: 11:23, 24:25, 32:24)
    (Potential composer credit use for season two suites)

    Continuing SEASON 2:

    Doubling back to cover an episode that was not up at the original time of this thread.



    "Survival House" (19)
    By: Billy May
    https://ok.ru/video/5006473235083 (audio is out-of-sync)

    Highlights:
  • 2:30 in.
  • 8:33 in.^
  • 10:15 in.
  • 12:50 in.
  • 14:43 in.^
  • 21:42 in.^
  • 27:39 in.^
  • 36:52 in.^
  • 38:20 in.^
  • 43:43 in.^
  • 46:14 / 48:48 in.^

    On a set of season two scoring, there's not much here I would include. 14:43 maybe. 27:39 and 43:43 for sure.

    Sammy Davis, Jr. guest stars.
    Sammy was probably excited when he got the call, thought he would do something excited, probably asked what his character would be. "Accused rapist".
    Deflated excitement.

    Continuing SEASON 3:

    Once again doubling back to an episode that was missing back when the I di the thread.



    "Welcome To the Human Race, Levi Frazee!" (8)
    By: Earle Hagen
    https://ok.ru/video/5014841723531 (audio is out-of-sync)

    Highlights:
  • 1:09 in. Including some cool music for Indians.^
  • 3:50 in. A short bit more of the cool Indian music.^
  • 5:01 in.^
  • 8:15 in.^
  • 11:44 in.^
  • 22:56 in.^
  • 39:32 in. While it opens with a very short cue, it's the laid-back kind of country-flavored source cue that I am really in it for. But that cue is rather short, too.^
  • 41:49 in.^
  • 46:14 in. And the cue after the commercial break.^

    Good score. I can't imagine skipping any of these cues on a set of season three scoring.

    (Note to Me: 14:40, 20:59)

    "What do you grow around here?"
    "Older."

    Certainly explains why he never did a vocal version of the theme tune a la Kojak.

    Continuing SEASON 4:

    Doubling back, to cover an episode that was not available back when I was doing this thread.


    "Cricket" (2)
    By: Earle Hagen
    https://ok.ru/video/5032526678667

    Highlights:
  • 0:00 in. A long soft, tender cue that goes on for just over four minutes.^
  • 4:51 in. Dramatic, tense cue full of colors and just sounding fresh on ideas.^
  • 13:25 in.^
  • 17:11 in. And the cue after the commercial break.^
  • 22:46 in.^
  • 25:33 in.^
  • 29:18 in. And the cue after the commercial break.^
  • 35:11 in.^
  • 40:09 in. Short dramatic outtro cue. And the cue after the commercial break.^
  • 45:05 in. Including an extended section of dramatic action music with atypical percussion making it even more tense. And the cue after the commercial break.^
  • 49:08 in.^
  • in.^
  • in.^

    Time wise, a lot of score in this episode.
    I find it just a disappointment that with a score like this, Hagen never really had a career that lead to bigger things. I can't imagine skipping any of these cues on a set of season four scoring.

    Same plot a season one episode of "Charlie's Angels" used ("To Kill An Angel"): A little boy finds a gun, accidentally fires on a female lead. It was crap then, and it's crap years earlier when this series did it. And MAN -- just like "Charlie's Angels", white girl in a red car finds the kid and offers to take him to the beach. And again, JUST LIKE THAT ONE, the kid finds his way to a beach house where his mother is with some new guy, and his mother is surprised to see him and has to tell the guy that is her son. AND AGAIN, a guy pretends to be the kid's dad.
    Fox Mulder: "If coincidences are coincidences, then why do they feel so contrived?"

    I'm to go right out and say it: "Charlie Angels" just out right stole large portions of the script from this episode. Clear and unapologetic plagiarism.

    For the guys here: 24:24 in. You're welcome.

    Continuing SEASON 4:

    Doubling back to redo an episode that had a bad load that froze.



    "Home Is the Streets" (3)
    By: Earle Hagen
    https://ok.ru/video/5032550402699

    Highlights:
  • 2:14 in.^
  • 9:14 in.^
  • 12:13 in.^
  • 13:07 in. Funk-a-lishious montage cue.^
  • 24:11 in. Short dramatic outtro cue.^
  • 25:42 in. Source cue.^
  • 28:25 in.^
  • 44:36 in.^
  • 47:19 in.^

    That's the entire score minus four cues (one a circus source cue)
    Don't really care for the inclusion of harmonica here.

    (NtM: 31:27)
