Anyone heard if a Season 2 is forthcoming? Or was the butchering of the first season enough to tank this series from going any further?

You're probably right that nothing anyone says here will change Fox's actions for now or the future. However, what was said here DID change my decision (& probably many others too). I had pre-ordered the set, but when I learned about this, I cancelled my purchase before it shipped...

Now that this set has been out for over a month... Is there any verdict on whether it sold well despite the people's protests, or did it flop because of the boycott?

But hurry.... they may decide to substitute music in the "before" version :D

The Amazon example is used to help a customer sample the actual audio product. Just like you can open a book and read a page in a bookstore. The music is the product you are sampling & buying. But when a song is licensed for use in a movie, the film producer is selecting the song to be used...

Great point. We need a compromise for old shows. 30 years ago, no one knew we would buy whole seasons of TV series. And as someone else pointed out, a short snippet is not going to satisfy anyone that wants to buy the whole song for their collection anyway. For new films, owners can set...

Probably around the time this TV series came out originally, 1978. All the artists would absolutely benefit from the exposure. There has to be some sort of compromise to be made for these old shows. Life is too short.

Absolutely agree. FOX dropped the ball, & I won't buy WKRP. I know the set could have worked if they had tried harder (either sold at high $ online to collector's IE: "Freaks & Geeks" or "Get Smart" or the rights simply worked out IE: "SNL" or "SCTV"). But the fact remains that these...

Stay away from the fan. I think it hit it.

I have decided. I won't buy it. But I would have, had they presented this correctly. Fox should try online web sales only w/ a higher price. Much like the Get Smart box sets. Hardcore fans would have bought; and FOX saves by only replicating as many sets as they need. No B&M or...

Oh gee, thanks. A stupid ;) for my comment.

They could take their pick: 1. Suck it up & take care of the music clearances like respectable studios. It happens all the time ("Miami Vice", "Saturday Night Live", "Freaks and Geeks", "Undeclared", "The Monkees", etc.) 2. Lease or sell the show to another distributor, one who has...

Anyone remember the group that removed curse words & "adult" material from popular Hollywood films to make them "family friendly"? They bought a legitimate DVD for each altered one they offered for rental. They weren't trying to make money off of the studio's content, just providing a "clean...

It's stupid to debate who is a "hardcore fan" and who isn't ... and it's stupid to debate "what a hardcore fan is". Who cares. Guess what? I'm know I'm NOT even remotely a hardcore fan, but I would have bought this. Absolutely day and date. However, as a consumer I absolutely will not...

I would have bought this on opening day as it was a very funny show, but not now. However, I've gotten just about as many laughs reading through this thread. :laugh: Way to go you bunch of FOX imbeciles!!!

Shout! Factory did release "Freaks and Geeks". Like "WKRP", the music was critical to that show too. But Shout! managed to do it. However it is reported that music rights were a little over $1 million dollars. I think music rights have gotten out of hand, so I can understand a studio...
