Voyage To The Bottom Of The Seas-Season 2, Volume 1

[Eric Paddon]

Picked this up today at Best Buy for $14.95 (had a $5 coupon). The transfers look outstanding on the first four episodes I've watched, and it's a great thrill to have "Jonah And The Whale", one of the best episodes of the series represented on DVD now (years ago I doled out a small fortune for one of the Japanese LD sets to get this episode at long last, since it was not one of the episodes made availabe on VHS by Columbia House).

The one thing that surprised me was that while I had always known that Sawtell's theme was immediately restored in the second episode, they did use Goldsmith's theme over the end credits of the second episode before restoring the Sawtell theme over those in the third episode. I think on whole, while Goldsmith wrote an outstanding score for "Jonah And The Whale" the decision to restore the Sawtell theme was the correct one.
