Talk:Crime Story (American TV series)

message: Although Todd Rundgren did contribute to the show's musical score, he did NOT sing the theme song.  That actually was Del Shannon's voice. The voice sounded different because he was in his 50's when he re-recorded the song for Crime Story
The fact that Del himself re-recorded his song for Crime Story can be verified on in the third paragraph form the bottom, and on  where Todd Rundgren is credited for SOME of the "non-original music" but Del Shannon and Del Shannon alone is credited with the song. This can also be verified in the show's closing credits (I have the 2 box sets).JeffStickney 11:27, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the correction; I've seen Todd credited elsewhere. But, who are you?  Trekphiler 03:54, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Quote: "The guitar had been given to Kooper by Jimi Hendrix as a gift prior to Hendrix's death."
Now: "prior to Jimi's death" is tautological. Dead men don't give gifts. elpincha 17:51, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, but the way it's worded now, it sounds like Hendrix gave Kooper the guitar specifically for recording the soundtrack; which is impossible, since Hendrix died 16 years earlier. Cubs Fan 16:47, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I wonder why Mann would have wondering if the show would be renewed for season two if it had the "record" ratings that are claimed for season one.  68.109.128.222 (talk) 08:59, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If you read closely, the pilot ep. got very high ratings but as the season progressed, the ratings steadily declined as the show was aired opposite Moonlighting, hence the concern that it would get picked up for another season.--J.D. (talk) 18:20, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
