I would wonder how far McFarlane's emulation would run. I would easily see him using the Hoyt Curtin music cues (either the originals or re-recording them) and of course every post sound house in Hollywood has (or seems to have) the H-B SFX library. I would wonder if he would have people go through the archives to find the laugh tracks used on the original series, though (which were different than the "Ozzie and Harriet" laugh track they used on "Scooby-Doo" and the 70s shows, but it wasn't Charlie Douglass). He would probably say it was a tribute, but by now he's used to the animation community taking shots at him. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
