I think part of my mild resentment towards John Williams has to do with my suspicions that the Star Wars theme is the main reason every Star Trek theme after the original sucked.  Ironically Sandy Courage and John Williams were good friends.

It has also occurred to me that the recent visions of what music will sound like in the 24th century seems to point to a complete genocide of any music of color, which wasn't the case with the original ST theme, which had that groovy Latin theme in the background.

As for Earle Hagen, we're not worthy! The Mod Squad theme totally rocked,  as did the Dick Van Dyke and Andy Griffith themes, but my personal fav was I Spy. And then there was Harlem Nocturne, what can you say?

They're dropping like flies people!
