I've heard that the producers didn't realize, when they hired Fried, that he was a veteran composer for the original series.

CORRECTION TO THE ABOVE:  According to whiz Bob Short, "The Executive Producer Michael Sloan definitely knew Fried was one of the original composers on UNCLE because he was considering Mike Post to compose the score but I brought in samples of Fried's work to convince him to consider Fried instead."

Thanks Bob!


He did a fun job, don't you think?

See you Thursday.  Hope you find something to love in this release!
