So now they are changing the disc count? Is that right?

The music that I would miss the most IF it happens will be the use of Genesis. Some of my favorite episodes use The Brazilian and Tonight, Tonight, Tonight. Of course there are others, but being a huge Genesis fan, I felt and extra connection with those episodes.

 

[James Reader]

Wrong. If they have the Beatles performing, Apple Corps refuses outright to grant any licences for home video. No matter what money is offered. Don't assume money will solve all the licencing issues, just 99.9% of them.

 

[David Lambert]

Changing it from what? You mean compared to season one? Or did somebody tell you a different disc count for M,PI - S2?

 

[Laura Nicholson]

From the 1st season. And I could have sworn I saw the disc count was 4. But I might be losing my mind.

 

[Aryn Leroux]

Your not losing your mind the S1 set was 4 discs, But the 4th disc was just the bonus disc of episodes. S1 was spread out over 3 discs.

 

[Laura Nicholson]

Thank you, Aryn. I guess I have way too many tv shows on dvd to keep track and not get confused. I don't have any more questions now. :b

 

[RichardLoomis]

Well, I stand corrected!

Still, the statement I was responding to said that Universal simply didn't WANT to secure the rights to the music. As you have informed us, Apple is the obvious exception. However, my point still stands if money will solve "99.9%" of the issues.

Interesting quote from Selleck on the success of the Magnum P.I. DVD sets. From an a Tribune Media syndicated interview by Jay Bobbin:



Perhaps Selleck and the stars are not taking part in these DVDs because they have little to no incentive to do so.

Regarding the "Best of" set that Selleck suggests, perhaps he does not know that such a set was released in other regions several years back. I wonder how that set did sales wise.

Interesting that Selleck should mention the music of the series--what will happen to the music used in later seasons when the show relied less on 'canned' music?

 

[Bill>Moore]

Interesting quote from Selleck. Doesn't sound like they've motivated him enough to do any commentaries. The girlfriend will definitely be picking up s2 and I'll be picking up s2 of The A-Team on the same day.

I don't know, but it's very worrisome. If everything Universal did could be like Miami Vice and not QL:S2. . . .

 

[Jon Hertzberg]

Any early reviews for Season 2 up yet? Only a week to go...

 

[Gord Lacey]

Jon, I'm working my way through the set. I can tell you one thing though; they used slim cases for the set.

Gord

 

[Jim-M]

I'm definitely looking forward to your review Gord.

 

[Jon Hertzberg]

Thanks a lot, Gord. Looking forward to the review.

 

[Chris Bergmann]

Gord, do we get the original music or have they "Quantum Leaped" Magnum?

 

[Gord Lacey]

Do you have a list of the original music?

Here's a list of all the original songs on the show - but apart from a few exceptions they don't list what season they are in.

But it shouldn't be difficult - I've been told that the Muzak in Quantum Leap is very obvious and sticks out like a sore thumb.

So if there are songs that you've heard before then they've probably kept the original music.

 

[Greg_S_H]

Oh, man. I'm dying for good news on this front. Please let me enjoy Magnum on DVD, Universal!
