Here's why your favorite show isn't on DVD
We
talked about this recently, how some TV show DVDs are being held up because of how expensive it is to get rights to the
songs used in the shows. This Hollywood Reporter article
(via Yahoo News) talks about the problem in depth.
The best example of this is that delay in the WKRP In Cincinnati DVDs. They used a lot of rock songs on the show, and I still remember, when the show went into syndication, they replaced the music with horrible generic music in all the scenes, pretty much destroying the mood of the episodes. And if you're familiar with the music they used in WKRP (or Ed or other shows), then it really stands out. Fans were ticked that the second season DVDs of Quantum Leap were changed. Some people think that WKRP will never be released on DVD.
What do you think? Would you rather see your favorite show released on DVD, even if they have to change the music around, or would you rather see it never released on DVD than have the music changed?
