Music reviews of One Hundred Greatest TV ThemesMusic Review: A very eclectic collection from television's eclectic past Rating: 4 StarsSome purists may take offense with the arrangements as well as the selection 100 "greatest" themes. However, "brownie points" must be given for providing boomers with reflections from their television past.
Of course, "liberties" are taken with the arrangements but all are done in homage to their original versions. To be honest, some of the arrangements extend the themes, adding depth to the original or even making "extending" some well beyond the length of the familiar.
Highlights include themes from "The Addams Family", "The Avengers", "Barnaby Jones", "Batman", "Battlestar Galactica", "Cagney & Lacey", "Dallas" "Dr. Kildare", "Dynasty", "Falcon Crest, "The Fugitive", "Hawaii 5-0", "The High Chaparral", "The Incredible Hulk", the acclaimed mini-series "Jesus of Nazareth", "Little House on the Prairie", Irwin Allen's sci-fi quartet ("Land of the Giants", "Lost in Space", "The Time Tunnel" and "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea"), "Newhart", "The Outer Limits", two Roger Moore shows: "The Persuaders" and "The Saint", three Trek shows (the original, "Deep Space Nine" and "Voyager", "The Streets of San Francisco", and "The X-Files".
However, the piece de resistance is "Perry Mason", one of the most memorable of all themes and the interpretation does the original justice and then some.
While there are still some that probably others would say rank higher than this compilation but it still comes highly recommended for a trek down memory lane.
