gee, defensive much? I'm actually on your side that some people are way too big of stick-in-the-muds with the unwavering "not even for free would I enjoy 23 complete MTM episodes that haven't aired in completion since 1971 because a 24th is missing 10 seconds that hasn't been seen since 1970 anyways" stance. Did you bother looking at the site in question? Sony got very cheap with Dawson season 3, and cheaper throughout the rest of the run (although they did have No Doubt songs in season 6, because the episode revolved going to their concert) and from the looks of it, no, they didn't try. There are many other shows that cost LESS that have MORE of the original music on it. It's not even like we're talking Zeppelin/Beatles style artists whose music was replaced on these sets, we're talking Nada Surf types, acts that really can't cost THAT much to negotiate a deal with using their songs, but Sony still didn't bother and just went with musical replacement. They edited out scenes in an episode because they didn't want to pay to have Joey performing Jesses Girl and (I think) Walk Like An Egyptian. That is much much different than Fox deciding to skip negotiating with the band Filter because in one Roswell episode, you can faintly hear "Take A Picture" in the background of the restaurant, yet not there on the DVD.
