This week's suites.
"Code Name: Foxfire"
Composer: Joe Sample
https://youtube.com/watch?v=6R8ti2AC9QI
Suite #1 (of two) covering the feature-length pilot -- which is presumably the only episode he scored. Jeff Sturges is credited in the end credits for additional music. George During did additional music, too, but does not receive credit.
It's good scoring, very much in the vein of the Sturges efforts. It's a shame he didn't get more work.
The pilot itself wasn't that bad and showed promise.
This took TWO FUCKING HOURS TO UPLOAD! Then five minutes of processing!
A Man, A Woman, and a Bank
Composer: Bill Conti
https://youtube.com/watch?v=swHsuRzf9R4
Most of the score from a 1979 film.

The first suite is finally done and ready to listen to.

What to expect from next week's suites: two suites. One a TV movie score suite from Morton Stevens. Ford A. Thaxton has brought this one up before, so he should enjoy it.

There is a 23 track (32:48 score) composer promo(?), so there's no need to record and edit off the TV movie. I don't have it, so I can't make a suite of best of examples.

This week's suites.
"Beverly Hills Cop"
Composer: Robert Duncan
https://youtube.com/watch?v=Kby3fII6PgA
Sometime early 2012 a pilot was filmed for a TV series continued from the films. This time it's Alex's son. Eddie Murphy made more than just a passing cameo in the pilot. However, the pilot is really really really bad. And the score is not much better. This is really more of a point of curiosity.
There were no onscreen credits, so I took a screen grab of Eddie. In this scene, his son is going outside the police station to get a car when he finds it being broken into, by what turns out to be his impatient dad using a jimmy.
For my thoughts on the pilot, see this thread:

"The Horror at 37,000 Feet"
Composer: Morton Stevens
https://youtube.com/watch?v=X1CEbXPUNzw
Short suite of score. Nothing particularly remarkable, but given next-to-nothing of his work has been released, I decided to cover this.

What to expect from next week's suites: one a pilot, one a TV movie, but different but in each case law enforcement is involved.

This week's suites.
"240-Robert"
Composers: Mike Post and Pete Carpenter
https://youtube.com/watch?v=wIZLwhBzahU
Suite #1, which covers most of the feature-length pilot. The rest had to be shoved into suite #2 (to be posted at a later date).
Yes, all the episodes popped back up, allowing me to do this. Hopefully I get around to recording all of the scores before the episodes are gone again.
"Night Games"
Composer: Laurence Rosenthal
https://youtube.com/watch?v=W40TNRhXcWc
Suite #1 (of two).
A good score which has not received an official release yet. There was, however, a track on a 2CD promo of various works by the composer, so I included that rather than butchering the cue in edit. I should note: the promo cue is actually two separate cues in the TV movie, edited together; unless you know where the edit is, you wouldn't know it. For the sake of this suite, I crossfaded one short outtro cue onto the promo track.

What to expect from next week's suites:
The first suite will make Thierry Schreurs happy, and the second suite is up in the air at the moment (but may be a TV series).

This week's suites.
"The Immortal"
Composer: Dominic Frontiere
https://youtube.com/watch?v=7kFZQhqDsXU
This suite was a request by Thierry Schreurs. :-)
This suites covers the feature-length pilot and the first episode after that. No other suites are planned at this time.
"Shell Game"
Composer: Richard Lewis Warren
https://youtube.com/watch?v=LzMpCFcWUhk
This was a very short-lived series from 1987. Six episodes.
Warren only scored the pilot, but the theme music is by Michel Colombier (theme music is not included in this suite; it'll be in Colombier's suite). Then the next two episodes were scored by Colombier. Then the final two were scored by Udi Harpaz.
Brought to you by some of the folks who were responsible for "Remington Steele", this show was boring and lacked anything that made RS what it was.
I highly suspect -- but have no information to back this up than my gut instinct -- that the producers must have known the show was in trouble and perhaps tried to fix it by having the pilot rescored. I seriously doubt Colombier did the theme and then the next two episodes; I think it's more likely he scored the pilot, too.
I have not recorded any score from the Harpaz efforts. Doesn't mean I won't.

What to expect from Monday's suites:
To sort of celebrate Valentine's Day, I am shoe-horning in two suites:
1. What says "I like you" more than forcing your way into a girls apartment? It's the second and final suite for "Strangers in 7A".
2. And John Scott underscores what we've all known for so long: girls are evil.
