[Fmpro] BBC verses America

[bipcress@comcast.net]

Andrew, you are certainly right about the sorry state of current TV scoring in America. I'm sorry, I wasn't clear: I was referring to a comparison of  Brit/Yank Silver Age TV scoring (60s-70s). - JohnB

> What about "Robin Hood" - season 2 is just about to start.  It's a cheezy adventure show, but the music is really great with a live large orchestra.  Compare the music from Robin Hood to its American counterparts, Xena Warrior Princes, Herculese, etc... (sorry if i'm misspelling these).  I haven't seen either for years, but if i recall, it was mostly synthesied, and not of the compositional level of the Robin Hood score.  Check out RH on BBC america coming soon!

> Are there any new American shows that are using a large orchestra?  I don't know - i just watch the history channel and discovery science.
