From my post over at HTF:

So people can get a better sense of what has been changed, I did a cue-by-cue breakdown of Act I of "Escape Into Black." I believe it is representative of the mentality of the replacement set.

Check Disc Cue Sheet

"Escape Into Black" Act I

Teaser - original intact

Opening title - original intact

Act One bridge - original intact

Kimble Flashback outside café - Heyes

Café scene - original intact

Kitchen fire - original intact

Bridge to hospital - original intact

Kimble in hospital room - original intact

Kimble talking to doctors, blurry vision - Beginning intact, then Heyes replaces Rugolo in middle of scene where "The Invaders" by Goldsmith should be.

Ruskin tells Dr. Towne he's "an unusual man" - Heyes all the way, continuing to bridge the scene where Mrs. Ruskin first talks to Kimble

Kimble sees one-arm patient in hospital - original intact

Analysis:

So 8.5 of the cues are intact while 2.5 have been changed, with a pair of them surgical, meaning Rugolo is strumming along and Heyes is inserted midstream.

Conclusion:

A majority, if not all, were cues from The Twilight Zone. If CBS owns the rights to this music, it's very disappointing that they couldn't have found some way to keep it in.

But the numbers here support my estimate that eighty percent is intact. Some episodes may have a bit more replacement while shows like "Tug Of War" have way less, so I think eighty percent is a fair number.

As a purist who cringed when background music on a jukebox was changed in season one, it's hard for me to swallow my standards, but I would rather return the goodwill the studio has shown in restoring what they can, and see this series head for the finish line, so my children and their children will someday see these beautiful transfers, even if they are only singing at eighty percent. It's too great a show for me to be stubborn and dwell on the tinge of disappointment I admit I still feel when confronting the reality that my beloved Twilight Zone cuts may not all be there.

But I believe the big picture is, for now, more important than my pining for missing cues, especially when I think back to what I believed not so long ago--that the show's legitimate life on DVD was over. Done. Dead.

Now it has a chance. I'm choosing to view kicking out for the rest of the series like buying a starter house. Sure--maybe I won't live in it forever. Maybe I don't like everything about the house. Some things downright bug me about it. But the equity I accrue is undeniable, and when I do finally sell the house, my equity allows me to get a bigger house, maybe even the one of my dreams.

I have the same hope for The Fugitive. If we can all come together, support the release--imperfect though it is--and get this run out, then who knows what the future holds for the rights issues. Meantime the series, in a more or less respectable form, will be in circulation. To me the odds seem better right now that some day every missing element can be corrected than the odds seemed a week ago to expect Paramount to suddenly announce that not only would they mail me a free set, but a set with much of the music restored. It's still amazing when I think about it.

The going may get tough when we come to stock-filled episodes like "Landscape with Running Figures." But Kimble never lost faith. He kept running even when it looked hopeless. I, for one, don't think it looks hopeless anymore. I'm ready to dig in my wallet and keep running with the good doctor, hurtling over Heyes if necessary, through season two and beyond.

I hope all true Fugitive fans do the same.
