No Politics here.
What were the best music score for a TV Show/Series?
I'll go first
Victory at Sea Cosmos The Civil War Memphis Beat
Yeah - Stewart Copeland.
Can’t believe no one mentioned Vangelis’ score to the movie Bounty:

You won immediately with Victory at Sea!
Mannix
NBC Sunday Night Mystery Movie
That Girl Music Only
The original Hawaii Five 0.
True Blood has a really great theme song. Here it is, but some might find the accompanying opening visuals a little disturbing:

Yes, indeed. That beginning theme perfectly evokes the restless sea and a ship's prow dipping and rising as the waves break over it. And then, as you point out, there are the many other evocative themes in the total work. Also, a strain of patriotism is present in the music as well.
Oh...that’s a good one. Thanks for reminding me!

This is a different Conquest of Paradise than I have on my homepage. I’ve been listening to the Bounty and 1492 non stop since you mentioned about the Bounty. :) I used to listen to these soundtracks all the time, but had forgotten over the years about some of the music. Great video. Vangelis is ultra cool! Larger than life. Big Vangelis. Big music. Big choir. Big piano. Great, exploding theme! Thanks again.

I think that was very much true. I either saw an interview with Andy Griffith or read an interview by him. For some reason she had it out for him! Very hard to get along with.
Still... Seems like every small town has an Aunt Bea. we have one in the small town where I teach.
Her character was great! One of my favourite episodes where she is highlighted is the one where she tries to save money by buying meat in bulk, but the old freezer ends up breaking and it's the middle of summer. She won't call the repair guy to come out and fix it. Andy keeps telling her: "Call the MAN!"
Snowstorm on the way. Here we go....
Wow! Glad it made your day! :-)
The Prisoner
The opening to Fawlty Towers, always get a big grin on my face when I hear it starting up.
The best orchestration during the episode would be on the X-Files.
It made my day for two days. So much fun!
