I always liked the Frank Sinatra LOVE AND MARRIAGE theme on Married With Children. It was a perfect fit for that show. It was toungue-in-cheek for the way the characters were so dysfunctional. I'm not sure the music issues really matter in some cases, although this is just my opinion.
For example. I bought the first two seasons of Beverly Hills 90210 and looking forward to the third season. However, in certain episodes of both seasons, songs that were used either at the end or during scenes have been omitted for copyright licensing issues, and you wanna know something? Other than the I'VE HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE from Dirty Dancing, in the episode where Brandon meets and begins dating a figure skater training for the Olympics, you really don't miss it, and in most cases the new incidental music is a perfect fit for the scenes, too.
Now, going back to the Married With Children theme, the new music never aired on the original FOX broadcasts, but if you just skip over the credits and watch the show, it was the jokes and the situations that make this show a classic anyway. The Sinatra song was just the icing on the cake. And in this day and age, lack of icing can be a good thing. It keeps the costs down and it is really not that important to me.
Just don't screw up FALCON CREST when it is finally released! But they can't! All FALCON CREST fans know that WB owns the music licensing for every note of music (including the great theme song). It was negotiated that way when Lorimar created the shows in the 80's and when WB bought Lorimar, all of those contracts were kept intact.
I'm not too sure about Columbia, but if the Married With Children theme was such a hard negotiating tool for the 3rd and 4th seasons, how come Sinatra's copyright holder on it allowed its use for seasons 1 and 2? One of those things that just makes one go, HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!?!
