I have what may seem to be a dumb or annoyingly repetitive question for veterans of THE FUGITIVE threads, but here goes…
I recently bought, Season Four Volume One out of curiosity – and that people like Harry N, whose tastes seem to parallel my own, are fans of the show. I’ve seen about 2/3 of the set, enjoy it, and plan to get the final volume.
My question concerns the justified uproar over the music replacement. Before I consider getting previous volumes, please let me know the following…
Are the music replacements on ALL previous volumes, or just some of them? If so, which ones to get or avoid?
Does the replacement music SOUND LIKE “sixties TV scoring” (Anyone who enjoys sixties TV will understand what I mean!), or does it sound inappropriately modern? Or just “non-sixties”?
I’m thinking that if I can enjoy OUTER LIMITS scoring on some of these episodes (worked well for THE INVADERS, but I had to be convinced on a show like this), I might be able to tolerate faux-sixties scoring as well. If it’s good and sixties-sounding – just not what everyone’s ear is used to; I might not notice the difference, having never seen the originals. And, at least I can enjoy prior episodes of the series.
Thanks in advance for the info!
