Yes, and it was actually pretty good. It was killed off by the first Gulf War, news of which occupied the evening slot and necessitated in moving around or actually canceling other TV shows.
Burton should be able to pull this off.
And I agree -- if they use anything OTHER than Cobert's music, it'll be a travesty. That music MADE "Dark Shadows" what it was. Without that music, even if they have the same characters and plots, it's not DS.
Oh, dang. Now I'm going to have to dig out the Sky Captain DVD again.
It's got some goofy elements, but I *love* that movie. What an idea -- and what vision!
If someone were to come out with a perfume that smelled like mimeo fluid, I'd be over the moon. I could also vicariously relive that crush on my sixth-grade art teacher. :) Ah, Ms. Scudder, where are you, now?
Exactly. Although I still lament the horrid "Flyboys" of a few years ago, CGI is the only way to really pull something like that off today. Such potential, and they dumbed it down SO much for audiences -- all the allies flew Sopwith Camels, and ALL the Germans flew all-red Fokker triplanes. It...
Rats, I was going to post Peter Gunn. I've always thought that of all the TV themes I've heard, it is the most unabashedly COOL piece of music out there.
And thanks for that link to the TV theme website. I'm not going to get any work done today.
I do have to offer this one, though. The show...

I think I must hate you. Or at least send waves of envy in your general direction. That's pretty much typical of my dream house.
I'd settle for a duplicate of Lyndhurst, if it would be possible.
Most of my online gaming handles are "Tars Tarkas" -- the old joke was I needed four hands to play. One on the keyboard, one on the mouse, one for my pipe, and one to hold the scotch.
That was from Asylum -- a film company that specializes in low-budget, rush-to-the screen (or, rather, the DVD market) rip-offs of films that are big-budget blockbusters.
You may "recognize" some of their titles: "Transmorphers: The Fall of Man," "The Day the Earth Stopped," "Allan Quatermain...
