Music on Television

I watched CSI from 11am-12pm on November 19th. The opening scene didn't use any music. After the crime was set up for the audience, the theme song by the Who began playing. Right after the theme song played the first set of commercials began playing. The first commercial was for a new series called Band of Brothers. The series looks as if it it going to be about the military. The music in the commercial was mostly played by drums. Most of the other commercials played during this break had little or no music. The commercial for lysol wipes had their signature whistled tune at the end of their adverstisement. Once CSI came back there wasn't much music except when the investigators were searching for clues. The music played eerie piano music that grew louder when the investigator would find something. Most of the music played during the second commercial break had little or no music. A KFC commercial using football players as their spokesmen used trumpets in the background which sounded close to a marching band. An iHome commercial used techno music during its commercial. CSI continued with little music except when the investigators were along working on evidence or further looking for evidence. Most of the commercials played during the third commercial break had little or no music. A commercial for the movie "Invictus" coming out in December is about the World Cup. Most of the music playing during the preview was stadium music corresponding with the cheers of the crowd at the game. Another commercial that used music was for Mucinex DM which showed little cartoon germs inside a person's lungs dancing and singing along to the "Cough a Cabanna." A public service announcement about Carbon Dioxide emissions played eerie music that contributed to the seriousness of the pollution. The last scene of CSI where they are booking the suspect was like slow marching music. The closing credits used the theme song to the show just without words.
