 The Railway Children (2000) (TV)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
This (perhaps superfluous) version of the Edith Nesbit novel was made for TV and, in an interesting piece of casting, had Jenny Agutter as the mother – she had been eldest daughter Bobbie thirty years earlier.
Some changes to the fabric of the story were inevitable: more screen time is given to the events which cause the children's father to be arrested; the paper chase is no longer linked to the family of the old gentleman; and some of the characters are more sharply drawn than before.
The great strength of the TV version is the attention to detail - we can feel the smoky fog from the 30s steam train as it rushes through the countryside.

 The Adventures of Superman
Apparently this was a feeble attempt to create a variation that would serve as being "different" from the original for copyright purposes, since the cues were now being listed under new names (and even new fictitious composer names) for collecting ASCAP and BMI royalties.
Apparently the early music suppliers thought this was what one did -- just "change a few notes" -- and you could call it a new composition, for this same technique was used for the "Lone Ranger" TV series which was re-orchestrated and changed from earlier B-picture cues used verbatim on radio.
Subsequent theories were postulated that perhaps the THEME for "Superman" itself was recycled from an old film, perhaps even a foreign film that would not be recognizable to U.S. audiences, or ghost-written by someone hired by MUTEL owner David Chudnow.

With the exception of Mother Dexter, her supporting characters did not do the necessary job of balancing the character of Phyllis, and the show often looked strained and weak.
The show seemed to mirror the character of Phyllis in that it did not seem to know where it was going or what to do with itself after the pilot.
