Actually they didn't acquire Paramount; when Viacom broke up CBS Corporation got the TV production division and back catalogue. But this is turning out to be a letdown for me, even though there are 19 unmolested episodes (save the logo replacement which is a minor annoyance), considering the...

They couldn't give Cheers the special edition treatment. Why would Paramount's other big 1980s sitcom be any different?

False, deceptive; call it what you will it is unethical. At least some of the episodes are uncut unlike some shows I could name (*cough*ALF*cough*Mama's Family*cough*Cosby Show Season 1*cough*)

Unfortunately, they can steer around that accusation by saying they mentioned music changes on the package. Unfortunately they did not say that they cut two scenes to avoid paying for music.

They've been replacing logos for the past few years. The Nick-at-Nite versions of the Paramount 70s and 80s shows had the Blue Mountain logo replaced with the late 80s CGI one. Original syndication prints left the logos intact.

It should be against the law to call it complete when it is demonstrably incomplete. Considering "Cheers" had several music replacements as well, this shouldn't come as a surprise. And the revelation that an episode had music that could be cleared on a previous video release, but they didn't...

If that first episode scene was on the Columbia House tapes, and an Elvis song was replaced by a modern-sounding one it's definitely cheapness. Good lord, how much do you think "Eddie My Love" goes for these days? I've never heard it on oldies radio. No sale, Paramount, unless it's used and...

They charge nearly $40, put in no extras, and still replace some of the music? I don't see this flying off the shelves.

If the owners of "At this Moment" try to gouge Paramount on the music rights, they are ungrateful SOBs. There, I said it. Let's just hope they get so far that they have to worry about it anyway.

Murphy Brown, by the way, is a music rights nightmare.

At this price with NO extras it's hard to be optimistic. Other songs I can recall being used: If I Were a Rich Man Light My Fire Mr. Sandman New York, New York (in the final episode)

Compared to the 1970s, fashion in the 80s was the renaissance. How long are the episodes, BTW?
