[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 347686, member: 57984"] The irony of John Parker is that he was, originally, very talented, writing often-wonderful Native American-inspired scores (today, we call that cultural appropriation) for various shows like GUNSMOKE, even receiving awards for doing so. Even early-DALLAS scores like "Winds of Vengeance" and "Barbecue" and even "Black Market Baby" reflect that talent, and were more measured than what we'd come to expect from him... Parker is over-used in Season 2 (per DVD count) and then -- mercifully -- disappears for four years, from 1982 thru 1986, before returning to DALLAS in all his cornpone glory for Season 10 and beyond. His scores just were increasingly erratic and jauntily redneck-jazzy and became, to employ understatement, reductive. And yet Jerrold Immel was apparently fired every six weeks. Parker was reportedly best friends with Leonard Katzman (who'd worked on GUNSMOKE together, to great effect) but their conjoined spiral down into the pits of late-DALLAS hellfire makes some sense.
