Last week I watched Seasons 1 and 2 (epguides.com list them separately but Season 1 DVD box covers them both) of Walker-Texas Ranger on DVD. Interestingly, the music was by either Christopher Franke or Velton Ray Bunch and suited the series very well. However, I just watched the first 4 episodes of Season 2 (listed as Season 3 by epguides.com) and this time the music was my Jerrol Immel. While his Dallas theme is impeccable, for W-TR his msuic sucks, bad time. So, the question is: did Immel score all remaining episodes of the Season 2 and/or further Seasons?

No, the question is: why is Chuck Norris such a bad mofo?

Is Jerrol Immel's music the style that sounds like the Adam West BATMAN? I remember WALKER having such sounding music early on, and it was terrible. Fortunately, it didn't last very long. I recall Franke scoring many of the later seasons, along with Bunch, Kevin Kiner (who actually used a couple recurring motifs that allowed me to always identify his episodes), and I'm sure a few others.

At one point in the mid-90s, a soundtrack was often mentioned in TV Guide advertisements, but one never materialized. frown

As for the "Season 1" DVD, production of Season 1 was cut short after three episodes by Cannon's bankruptcy and premiered in Spring 1993, and Season 2 premiered in the Fall of 1993.

Thanks! By the way, what is a "mofo"?

Its shorthand for "mutherf*cker"

Multiple composers over the seasons provided efforts, in cluding Jeff Sturges (pilot), Christopher Stone, Lawrence Brown, Phil Cunningham, Ron Ramin and others.

I have to admit that I love that show despite or maybe because of its camp nature. Some of the scores are quite good. They have some nice bluesy elements and the early 90s synth sounds don`t sound as dated as one might expect. The Christopher Franke scores are the most energetic and edgy IMO. But I also love the contributions of Christopher L. Stone and Velton Ray Bunch.

Another show that deserves a nice score box set.
