Melodic Treks: A Star Trek Music Podcast

Family Guy and "The Offspring" with John Takis. *I would like to apologize as there are some audio issues in this episode. During the first four seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Ron Jones and Dennis McCarthy alternated scoring duties on the show, and Ron ended up composing 42 episodes including "Datalore," "Q Who," "The Drumhead," and "The Best of Both Worlds" Parts One and Two. After working on The Next Generation, an avid fan of Jones names Seth MacFarlane hired him to compose for a new project called Family Guy. In this episode of Melodic Treks, host Brandon-Shea Mutala and John Takis dive into the music from Family Guy composed by Ron Jones as well as Takis' favorite score by Jones, "The Offspring." We also discuss sound design style scoring, needle dropping, Elmer Bernstein and Airplane!, as well as scoring for comedy. We also might even bring up #ReitzellforTrek2017 Chapters Intro (00:00:00)  Welcome, John (00:01:14)  Family Guy: Movement One (00:02:27)  "A Very Special Family Guy Freakin
