While adding some missing episode composer credits to IMDb, I noticed the scoring for the show and decided to check it out. Even though the show lasted a full season with twenty-six episodes, only a fraction had credited original scores. There's not much to do, so I'm going to do s much as I can. If you love funky music with a beat, shakers, guiro, triangle, scores with ideas, you should enjoy this. This would make a good 2CD set. "Murder by Proxy" (the pilot) By: Don Vincent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOG8XHPn864 (Part 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7it7WuIXxU (Part 2) Highlights: Part 1: About 5:50 in. 29:05 in. Part 2: Around 10:10 in. Unfortunately that is as far as I can go as the video gets messed up and has no sound for the remainder. This appears to be the only episode Vincent scored. "The Murder of a Small Town" By: Richard Markowitz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Te8vu3tV_qg (Part 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnDg2UPogwo (Part 2) Highlights: Part 1: 0:27 in. 1:17 in. 7:48 in. Part 2: "Love Is a Nickel Bag" By: Tom Scott https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kyca9g3TSYo (Part 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDu6DANEd6s (Part 2) Highlights: Part 1: The opening party music at about 0:30 in. Part 2: 8:45 in. About 13:30 in. 25:30 in. "The King Is Dead" By: Dave Grusin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pS197UDam-A (Part 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LbEA-L78mQ (Part 2) Highlights: Part 1: About 18:40 in. 19:50 in: a long cue in three parts. 37:28 in. Part 2: About 1:50 in. About 3:15 in. 8:26 in. There's a lull before some more material (that gets cut off by the commercial break). "In the Eyes of God" By: Dave Grusin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48bdaAChNd4 (Part 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZp2xgsBwiA (Pat 2) Highlights: Part 1: 10:25 in. 11:55 in. 17:34 in. About 22:00 in. 26:29 in. 28:27 in. Part 2: 6:30 in. 8:00 in. "The Color of Fury" By: Pat Williams https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IR0pnRJDn94 (Part 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tSFakdBfjw (Part 2) Highlights: Part 1: About 2:30 in. 5:36 in. 15:11 in. 20:37 in. 24:32 in. 28:19 in: a short but nice piece. Part 2: Nothing. "Epitaph for a Swinger" By: Tom Scott https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3-TgZPDAmc (Part 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18vfDGJ1WSk (Part 2) Highlights: Part 1: About 19:15 in. 31:12 in. 45:26 in. 47:25 in. Part 2: 5:24 in. 11:13 in. 20:39 in: a cool funky cue with chase music and a cool drum kit bit when the suspect falls down some stairs. "Passing Fair" By: Pat Williams https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh9r9gHtWBo (Part 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DaAepevSY8 (Part 2) Highlights: Part 1: 0:49 in. About 11:00 in. About 14:00 in. 31:08 in. Part 2: 1:49 in. 4:51 in. 6:58 in. 8:21 in. 9:36 in: low octave piano and snare drum with some strings and a shaker for chase music. Even some guiro thrown in. 17:59 in. More at 21:29 in. 22:13 in. 23:43 in. 35:55 in. "The Titan" By: Duane Tatro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTXJFRttXkE (Part 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Imr-9qb73KQ (Part 2) Highlights: Part 1: About 0:30 in. 5:53 in. 8:58 in.

Episodes where I couldn't find a load with the end credits to see if anybody was credited: "When the Shouting Dies" "The Manufactured Man" "The Meal Ticket"

I didn't realize it, but the TV movie "House on Greenapple Road", was actually a pilot film (originally intended as a film but cut down by thirty minutes for TV) for "Dan August", so while I wait for other episodes to load with the end credits to see if I am missing anything, I'll talk briefly about the score to this by Duane Tatro: The score features a tense and edgy opening theme, some quieter lightly jazzy stuff, some other jazz scoring, ranging from a number of moods. A suite I ripped from it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aljEtImtHU
