3.0 out of 5 stars TV Tunes' Initial Effort, February 27, 2000
By 
This review is from: Television's Greatest Hits, Vol. 1: From the 50s and 60s (Audio CD)
I have to admit, I've been hooked on the sound of TV themes ever since I set a tape recorder next to a TV set around 1980 when I was 9. When I heard about Television's Greatest Hits in the mid 80's, I had to go and buy the LP. I still have it today. And I had some of the same complaints that some of the other reviewers have now.... that some of the songs were re-recorded, such as Gilligan's Island,Beverly Hillbillies and Wild Wild West. However, other themes were presented as they were shown on TV.

Especially of interest, were the ENDING credit Themes tacked onto the intro themes in shows like The Flintstones, the Jetsons and the Addams Family. TV Tunes really has neglected the area of ending credit themes on all of their subsequent albums and CDs.

Since this album was produced before a lot of studio technology was commonplace to "clean up" old recordings, a lot of the original recordings on this release do sound pretty thin or fuzzy at times. TV...Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't Waste Your Money, June 20, 2005
This review is from: Television's Greatest Hits, Vol. 1: From the 50s and 60s (Audio CD)
If you want the original recordings, don't purchase any volume of Television's Greatest Hits. I've had better luck recording the songs off of my TV with a cassette tape recorder and then dehissing them on my PC. These collections have sterile sounding fake stereo recordings of "The Beverly Hillbillies" and "The Munsters" that just don't sound right to me. If the original recordings don't matter to you, then you may like this CD.

2.0 out of 5 stars Huge disappointment, January 2, 2001

Steven K. Smith (Lake Stevens, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Television's Greatest Hits, Vol. 1: From the 50s and 60s (Audio CD)
I bought this collection with the naive notion that I would get 65 pieces of nostalgia. Instead, I got 40-plus re-recorded, hollow attempts to bring the originals' spirit alive. The rest were real, but most were the cartoon themes, and some of them ("Flintstones", "Bugs Bunny", "Yogi Bear") sound like they were recorded off a "nostalgic" fifties TV set with a "nostalgic" mono tape recorder. I know for a fact that better recordings of these exist, so why didn't they use them? Only a few of the live action themes were the original versions in decent fidelity ("The Munsters", "The Addams Family", "Mister Ed", Green Acres", "Superman", "The Mod Squad"), with "The Dick Van Dyke Show" sounding as bad as the aforementioned three. I've been swindled!! I heard here that later releases did a better job, but I see no reason why I should plunk down another 17 bucks to get any...Read more
