I’ve never been a fan of that “plink plink plink plink plink pink plink plink” Twilight Zone theme, which replaced Bernard Herrmann‘s music after the first ’59-to-’60 season. Herrmann’s original score is wonderfully solemn and vaguely creepy, and much more affecting in a moody-undercurrent way than anything that followed. Sidenote: I own Bluray box sets of seasons #1 and #2. Which make the episodes look much cleaner and sharper than they ever did on the tube way back when, and even better than they did in private screenings for CBS executives.
