4.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Tube Tunes, September 28, 1998

This is a very enjoyable member of the ULTRA-LOUNGE series. There are quite a few surprises on this one--"One Step Beyond" and "The Human Jungle", which I had never heard before, were instantly appealing. This CD is worthwhile even if you have some of the tracks available elsewhere (e.g., videotaping old TV shows). P.S.: The bonus track is one Powerhouse of a tune!

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good addition in the never-ending Ultra-Lounge series..., June 28, 2005

The Ultra-Lounge series is of course limited to album tracks and singles on the Capitol label, and cobbling together so many different styles of lounge music is bound to create both excitement and dissension, but "TV Town" plays very smoothly, with hardly any ringers, and features some rare, collectible sides besides! Peggy Lee's "Bewitched" is quite a find(for the record, "I Dream of Jeannie"'s theme had lyrics too, but it wasn't on Capitol). Nelson Riddle's "Naked City" is a corker, as are Dave Pell's "Thanks for the Memory" and Jack Marshall's "The Munsters"(a jazzier, yet more toned down version than the theme you hear on TV). Liberty Orch.'s "Burke's Law Suite" is too long but has its moments, and John Barry's "Human Jungle" is very intriguing. A nice addition to the series, with another booklet full of great colorful photos.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very good, but not the best example of this series., June 25, 1999

I really thought this CD would be better. Sure, some of the tracks are truly great (Naked City theme) but they only even out with the clinkers (Munsters, Batman, U.N.C.L.E.). Just try listening to the sample of "Munsters" and your dog will run out of the room. Get this one after you've got most of the others from the UL collection. (or if it's free).
