...did you know that along with his long list of film composing credits, Danny Elfman has also scored the title themes from such TV shows as The Simpsons and Desperate Houswives to the short-lived FOX series Point Pleasant...in case your not familiar with this 13-episode show from 2005, heres a synopsis of the show: A young girl named Christina washes up on the shore near Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey during a violent storm. After being resuscitated by lifeguard Jesse Parker, the girl is taken in by the family of a local doctor, the Kramers, and quickly befriends their teenage daughter, Judy. The show follows Christinas attempts to discover who she really is, and to learn what happened to her mother, who disappeared shortly after Christina was born. It soon becomes apparent that Christinas presence has a strange, profound effect on the people around her. Emotions are heightened, repressed feelings and secret desires awakened, and inhibitions weakened, turning what once were friendly competitions into bitter rivalries, romantic rivals into violent enemies, and so on. And if that wasnt enough, freakish accidents have a way of befalling those with whom Christina becomes angry. Meanwhile, sinister forces have their eye on Christina, believing it is the girls destiny, as the child of darkness, to bring [the world] to its knees. Christina is the antichrist; the child of Satan. The resulting tension between the good and evil aspects of the girls nature, with the viewer always left in doubt as to which side she will ultimately choose, provides the basis for much of the shows conflict and suspense. Christina is plagued by terrifying visions of death and destruction, glimpses of the dark future she seems destined to help bring about. Meanwhile, a handsome, charming stranger named Lucas Boyd arrives in town, determined to help guide Christina toward her destiny, and Jesse Parker, who has become romantically involved with Christina, discovers that he may be the only one who can prevent the girl from ushering in Armageddon.
