4.0 out of 5 stars Inconsistent, but still great, May 1, 2000

Lots of fun, and I'm glad to have it, but can you really claim any artistic merit for the Roger Ramjet song?

Two other minor points: It's kind of silly to have The Wonderful World of Color on an album called Black and White Classics. Also, I was extremely disappointed in the Fugitive cut without the voiceover. Come on -- is your most vivid memory the music, or William Conrad's voice, " Dr. Richard Kimble, an innocent victim of blind justice..."?

Still, I'm glad I have it. Where else are you going to find Beany & Cecil, Captain Midnight, Soupy Sales, etc. A lot of old friends are here.

The words of Bob Hope's theme song say it best -- "Thanks for the memories."

I was specifically looking for the "Naked City" theme. The theme is done beautifully. However, it does not play the entire theme. I was expecting the entire theme. Other than that, it is a great CD.
