SEASON 1:
This is the 1960's American series that ran for two seasons.
Attention readers: I have been implementing a new system that is nothing more than a note to myself; for cues that I want to include in a suite one day, for now on I will denote them with ^ symbol. It has no special meaning to anyone else but myself. No, the lack of an up arrow symbol doesn't mean the cue is bad (it just may have too much SFX or FX for suite use or just isn't worth my time to edit and include). Hence forth this system will be in all future threads and pre-exiting threads that I go back to for missed episodes. Anything in ( ) are just notes to the arrow and you need not bother with that.

What a coincidence - my second post today about THRILLER! I just have to say that I was very aware of the later, supernatural/horror episodes, but I never got to see the early ones scored by Rugolo until very recently. I'm very pleasantly surprised by the episodes themselves, and the scores. I had kind of imagined them all to be about gangsters and stuff like that, with blaring, brassy cop-show scoring, but the episodes I've seen are in general much more delicate than that - even touching on semi-supernatural in places. And Rugolo's scores are splendid.
I don't have the re-recorded disc that was first released on LP in 1961 (and later released on CD), but it's up on YouTube, and after watching each Rugolo-scored episode, I'll see if it's represented on that disc and have a listen to the reinterpretation. They're truly great arrangements, ranging from all-out jazz to subtle chamber pieces - not too unlike some of the scores which Goldsmith and Stevens would later do for the series.

Interesting that the first episode of the series to feel like an episode of "The Twilight Zone" -- is scored by a composer who worked on that show, too. I can only imagine if Rod Serling had been involved, what this could have been.

Sure I'm not done with season one yet, but it's safe to say this is one or the best scores of the series. Jerry was on fire here. This score deserves nothing more than a full release.
It's also a good episode. And -- might I say -- this episode hinged on the casting of the lead, and the score. Thankfully both were well done.

Just a quick note about the “special end credits” — in all (or at the very least, most) cases this music was simply tracked from earlier in the score, and edited (sometimes a bit clumsily) to fit the length of the credits at the end.

Continuing SEASON 1:
"A Good Imagination"
By: Morton Stevens
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpwBxv9hRbI
Highlights:
0:00 in.^
2:21 in. All of the end credits is edited mainly out of this cue, but the speed change a little and presented out-of-order. Some bits are found in one or two other cues. For suite #3 I decided to preserve most of this presentation.^

One of the series' best episode scores. And a delightfully whimsical work at times. There's just something about affiable older lawbreakers that seemed to get Stevens' creative juices going. This is I think the third episode I have seen of a series where he did this.

41:03 in.^
43:28 in.^
47:05 in. The end credits cue which follows it an edited down version of score heard in this cue, but the end credits is special: in the episode during the build to the end of the cue, the wordless female vocal is faded out, but the end credits presents the cue as intended. For suite #6 I chose to edit back in the music and keep the intended end instead of the episode version (plus, this removes all the annoying pigeon sounds).^
One of the series' best episode scores.
In bizarro America, this would be: Alfred Hitchcock's "The Pigeons". Make sure you feed them, or they won't come after you.
And now for a true, but disgusting story involving pigeons. So, a few years ago I was at the beach and under a pier. People leave food everywhere and the pigeons who live under the pier fly down and eat what they can find, which also includes hot fries and Cheetos. So, some pigeon had obviously eaten one of those things and it had not really digested very well. The pigeon shit from up under the pier; it fell onto the sand and another pigeon walking around looking for food, came over and ate the orange/red shit.

Guest-starring William Shatner.
Man, when he was locked in the room and looked over at the painting ... that was just pure fucking awesome. Moments like that are what good television was all about.
* = Yeah, I understand the shadow was for dramatic effect, but look at the two -- they're looking at the shadow, not in the direction from where the shadow was cast. Scary shadow!

Hey Justin, “Dark Legacy” is a Goldsmith score! It’s the first one chronologically since his first “The Cheaters” which hasn’t been represented on a Tadlow volume yet, but it is available on an iso M&E track on the DVDs. It’s actually the most recent Thriller score that The Goldsmith Odyssey has covered — you’ve just surpassed us because “The Grim Reaper” is our next up (and I’m looking forward to it!)
Here’s our episode covering it:
https://goldsmithodyssey.buzzsprout.com/159614/9290211-episode-32-thriller-dark-legacy-1961
Also just a heads up for you: in season two “The Closed Cabinet” and “The Last of the Somervilles” are credited to Goldsmith I think but they consist of tracked music from his earlier Thriller scores. Very rare for this series to have tracked scores but these are a couple of exceptions.

My mistake --corrected.
Yeah, there are four episodes in season two that have no credited composer, so track jobs. Three of them are the last episodes -- they apparently gave up wanting to shell out money at the end.

Perhaps another one of the series' best episode scores. I may have cited nearly every single cue.
Most of the score sounds like it could be reasonably, if not perfectly, arranged into one to three suites.
A heck of an episode. I got to say I was rooting for both of them in the end. Sadly, I saw the ending coming...
Right before the 10:50 highlight, it sounds like he said "Silly rabbit".

Perhaps one of the series' best episode scores. A little shaky at the start for me to fully make the claim.
I hope my murderer is a hot blonde like her. I want a time machine so I can go back in time, take him out of her arms, and insert myself there.

Borderline top tier effort by Jerry.
The Pete Rugolo theme has been irritating for some time now. As the show matured and music improved, the theme should have been replaced mid season one.
