[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 337854, member: 57984"] Yes, that's been a concern. While I'm the[I][B] first[/B][/I] to admit that TV sometimes over-scores itself, they shouldn't change these things after the fact. In that "The Search" episode originally, Broughton's memorable score kicks in when Ellie wakes up in bed near the end, has a flashback of Jock asleep in his chair, then goes downstairs, sits down at the dining table, has her last flashback of Jock ("I have the rest of my life to listen to you"), and then the boys come in, JR can't handle it and leaves, Bobby and Ray sit down and begin to tell Miss Ellie what happened, and then JR wanders out the back door to look at his father's necklace and get his freeze frame, and we get our first look at Jock's portrait. In the DVD release (and, apparently, some syndication versions) [B][I]all [/I][/B]of that near-iconic score [B][I]has been removed[/I][/B] (until JR goes out back). It was originally one of DALLAS' most poignant moments and scores. And while I realize that sometimes "less-is-more", it shouldn't ever be "less-than-we-once-saw." (Actually, if it had been up to me -- and nobody asked -- I think I would have requested, as a producer, not to score Miss Ellie waking up in bed, having her flashback of Jock asleep, and then her wandering downstairs pre-dawn, all in silence, with the music resuming as she goes to sit down at the table before her final flashback). But they cut it all out. The same thing was done for DVD (and certain syndication versions) when Sue Ellen goes to Holly Harwood's to catch JR in bed with her. The original score was [B][I]perfect[/I][/B]. And they removed it, too. What will happen now?
