More DVD Release Rumors: “G vs. E”
Is it or isn’t it coming out on DVD?
G vs. E (Good vs. Evil) was the second to last show I worked on in Hollywood, and is one of the best written television productions I’ve seen to date.
Chandler Smythe (Clayton Rohner), is murdered on his 35th birthday. He is then recruited as an agent of the Corps and becomes a partner to Henry McNeil (Richard Brooks). Henry was killed in the 1970s and still dresses like Shaft. The Corps, best described as God’s police force on Earth, has the mission of locating citizens who have made a Faustian-style bargain with the agents of evil. When the Corps find a lost soul, they must decide whether to rehabilitate them or eliminate them from existence if they are beyond redemption.
Former football great Deacon Jones was a scene-stealer as the leader of The Corps, as well as show narrator.
I began working on the show a few episodes into its first season, creating some of the graphics that appeared within as well as the end credits. At that time, G vs. E was on USA and its second and final season was aired on SciFi. And I became a fan of Will Thomas whose soundtracks were some of the best, that is until “24″.
Here’s a quick story…
During one of the show edit sessions, I was listening to some basic tracks I composed and recorded at home for an album yet to be completed. The show producer (whose name escapes me) asked me what I was listening to and I handed him my headphones. He liked one of the cuts and asked me if he could use it for the “training montage” sequence in the wrestling spoof “Sunday Night Evil”. Part of the temporarily entitled “Track #9″ was used on that show.
It appears that what’s currently available are bootlegs, but there’s always been a great demand for the DVDs to be released.
We shall see….

I was at the Rams game a few weeks ago where they retired Deacon’s number. He’d never be able to pull off today what he did back then. I think he still holds some records.
