I will now have to find the next seasons to watch. They are not that bad when it comes to the current PC approach, only Bodie would be considered a throwback. But I guess that is the charm.
Star Trek TOS City on the Edge of Forever astounding television, possibly the greatest single episode in TV history.
While I did like all the episodes I've seen prior, including the 1968 pilot episode, "Etude In Black" stands out as my favourite once again with John Cassavetes giving one hell of a performance as the murderer, along with helluva of a soundtrack (all classical music, and dare I say the best of them).
This is one of my favourites too, along with Murder by the Book. Currently watching season 7 myself. Season 6 wasn't as good as previous seasons, but the quality of the show by this point was still very high.
I agree on the score in this series too. It's truly top notch with several memorable riffs. The one that I recall the best is the suspense cue from The Greenhouse Jungle, when Ray Milland is driving his Rolls around.
This one?
The music in Columbo is really something. The small cues sprinkled around at the most memorable scenes, and tracks like the one above. Can't be many shows (if any) that matches Columbo in that department, either.
I have the whole lot on DVD,i love it.
I know that 'Klansman' was banned from TV for a long while,in fact I think it was never aired,just put on the DVD's to complete the collection.
I really love this one too. It used to close out a few episodes and it's so reflective of the character (the description is incorrect btw - I think it's by the great Henry Mancini).
This is another classic by Billy Goldenberg (or Dave Grusin, not sure):
The quality of the compositions on 70's shows (including those from the UK) were in a different league.
I see. Remember that cue, but haven't seen any audio clips of it. The other two tracks you posted are also very good. Up there with the best from Columbo, that's for sure!
Regarding compositions on 70's shows, there really is a lot of good stuff out there. Several cues and tracks from various shows have found it's place into my Spotify playlists – making a nice contrast to whatever else I listen to from time to time. That being said, there is a lot of good tv music missing on Spotify. With all that music available, there should be more tv music.
Greatest for me is probably the Alain Delon film from 1975, or THE MARK OF ZORRO from 1940.
Episode 15 in season 4 is a cracker, fantastic TV.
It's probably my seventh time watching this BBC miniseries as I find it very highly entertaining. Dominic Cooper, even though not anywhere near being the Ian Fleming we know and love, plays a spectacular fictionalized version of the titular character, being portrayed as a sadistic and reckless brute which implies the making of the "blunt instrument" in his head as he'd later go on to filter it through his Bond novels.
Can I say how much I love Lara Pulver? Almost every character she plays anywhere captures my adoration, thus becoming my favourite actress of all time. She's like a more mature and period piece version of Eva Green with bit of a wildness given to her hence she's my muse for the female characters I write just as Sean Connery is for writing "a man for all seasons".
This miniseries serves more influence and muse to me for my book series than I could ever admit, even going as far to decide the World War II is still happening in an alternate universe 21st century that resembles the 1940s and early sixties, just to have my spies encounter more Nazis and put them down. It's so stylishly well made.
Then again, it must be Lara Pulver that hooks me into it more than the others.
It certainly was, gonna be gutted once I have caught up! Lol!
You have done well to blast through all though episodes, season 5 should be on E4 soon just checked still no release date other than March 2018.
Yeah I have made it a mission to catch up! Lol! Sounds like a similar time for when Homeland and the X Files return also before that. Lots more TV for me then!
It's good there is hardly a week that goes by without good shows, though my watch list is getting out of control lol
Lol! I can certainly sympathise with that lately.
I just finished watching this show on Blu-ray not too long ago. By far the greatest television show ever made.
