General Discussion: "First Monday" (Bruce Broughton, James Stemple)

Last Post

A short-lived 2002 Bellisario co-created series.

The highly memorable and wonderful theme music is by Bruce Broughton. Broughton's theme music was nominated for an Emmy. Thomas Newman won for "Six Feet Under". In my humble opinion, Broughton was clearly the one who should have won.

Presumably James Wesley Stemple scored an episode. The credited episode scores on IMDb represent all the episodes that popped up on Youtube over the years that I have been able to find. One episode got deleted shortly before I started this thread. Oh well.

That's all the episodes up right now.

A few cues use the theme from the song Every Time You Go Away. I have no idea who did the cover used in the episode; IMDb doesn't have it and the end credits are cut off (assuming it's even credited). If anybody here recognizes it, please speak up.

I have no idea if that's a clip from a TV show, or if they really got Larry Flynt and Bill O'Reilly to guest star in a fake TV segment.

I have no idea if that's a real clip from "Hannity & Colms" or if they filmed this just for the episode.

I'd take a baseball bat to that Robopuppy.

Culled from BMI and ASCAP. In no particular order.

Steven Bramson. (listed with Broughton)

William E. Levins.

Peter Andrews and Roger Larocque.

Brian Kirk. (only on BMI)

As usual, there has been no release of scoring from the show. No known promos either.

PLEASE NOTE: There are some shows left off, that I created as place holders to new TV series, incase I wanted to cover then later, but changed my mind.
