Great analysis of the musical score of the various episodes. The music on RMT was first-rate and was used to great success in enhancing the storytelling. They generally knew the best "bed" to use in a given scene. You mentioned in another thread "The Vampire Plant" ( a great episode!) and in it-- the music is utterly chilling and really helps "cement" that tale in your memory. It seems to me, during the earlier days of T.V.-- producers, directors, creators,etc. really saw music as an important an element as any other in the construction of their productions (ie.:the script, character development, special effects, etc.) and they went to great lengths to create moving and memorable scores. Just listen to the soundtracks of the original "TreK" or "Twilight Zone". Today, it seems as if the music in T.V. episodes is merely an afterthought. Perhaps, because many of the early T.V. "people" got their start on radio-- they were more in "tune" to this concept.

By the way, do you have a musical background? You do a great job of "deciphering" which instruments are being utilized. (In most cases, I haven't a clue-- But I do appreaciate the musical soundtracks tremendously).

Until next time..........
