The New Hawaii 50 Show and Theme

I usually don't get too excited about remakes of Motion Picture and Television Series. Most of the time they cannot recreate the magic of the original production. This includes the show plus the music score. The new, updated crime series, Hawaii 50 is scheduled to air shorty. According to the producers, they kept the original theme song by Morton Stevens. Over the years television series theme songs kept getting shorter and eventually became almost nothing. What you hear today is so vapid is sickening. Through the 1950's through to the 1980's there were some great dynamic theme songs by some great composers. Bernard Herrmann, Henry Mancini and Jerry Goldsmith: to at least name three. Some reasons that there are no television theme songs today, that are worth a tinker's damn are; The minutes that the series airs are shorter. This is because there are more commercials. Today it doesn't matter whether it's free over air TV or Cable...there's those greedy Wall Street Folks! Another reason that themes are downplayed is because they overpower and draw attention away from the show and actors. Todays Television scripts, plots (if there even is one), and the actors are so bad. These people aren't actors...there celebrities....there is a big difference. I think there's a new generation that can't tell the difference. One more reason that there's no really good theme songs is; the producers don't want to spend the money on a good composer and/or arranger. They get some inexperienced, bimbo headed, twit trying to write music. Of course look at the type of people glued in front of the television set.
