Merv's Crosswords theme sounds very familiar...

I wonder if it's changing for the sake of change or changing for the sake of a composer who was charging too much to release the US rights vs. somebody local and cheaper?

For a buzzer sound?

Possibly.  Though I was referring, really, to the Chris's observation of "the whole thing"--meaning the theme, too.  I have this suspicion that all the sound cues were a package, and if you didn't buy them all you couldn't use any.

They might figure the fanfares don't fit the new music, and I don't think the new music is bad.

For some reason, I really miss the music that came after the winning of the game, over Jim's postmortem. It was a nice chance to reflect on the keen competition we just saw.

Of course, the new version is sort of lacking in keen competition. But Rossi could use as much music over him as possible, especially over the "no parting gifts, just H's and K's" spiel.

The fanfares absolutely don't. That's strictly wishful thinking talking.

Clay has a good point re: The Buzzer. The Australian folks might have tried to force us to license the whole music package to get that buzzer. And, again, I completely allow that that sound effect is FAR more important in Australia than it is here.

MGC's theme sounds like the end theme to "The Ann Sothern Show" to me.
