The problem is, in order for the second option to be viable, they have to figure out a way to make "some" profit, as opposed to the costs involved (especially the music rights) being higher than the expected income. There is a third option n some cases - releasing the shows with the music...

The long-awaited (over five years) Animaniacs Volume 4 (and is it just me, or is the video qualify not quite as good as on the first three?) Red Dwarf X

CBS has had a number of these - I think they had one in the 1990s. There was also one starring George Burns, but that looked to be a combination of pilots (one of which actually got sold, as Leo & Liz in Beverly Hills) and one-off stories. ABC also did this one year in the 1970s, with a...

It's more popular than you might think, as it was part of the Banana Splits syndication package (in fact, other than for the Banana Splits episodes, that was the only show in the package where they kept the show's own closing credits).

That's sort of the opposite of my experience - the first VCR I owned (late 1985, I would guess) cost me $600; it was a four-head stereo model (there was an equivalent non-stereo version for $500). However, the tapes weren't more than $3 each. On the other hand, when I got my first DVD...

On the other hand, had the DVR come out first, chances are there would be more "lost shows" as not nearly as many people would have bothered making collections of shows that weren't only on hard drives (which, when they went bad, meant that they were lost forever). As foe early video...

Does the first season set have the correct closing credits for each episode, or is it the same credits for all of them? I'm pretty sure there is at least one episode with Rosie in it where Jean Vander Pyl isn't credited.

You left one out: IIRC, Marion Ross, Don Most, and Erin Moran competed together on an episode of All-Star Anything Goes (the syndicated celebrity version of Almost Anything Goes). Then again, it's very unlikely that any recordings of this series still exist.

If Fox really wanted it off the air, it would have moved the show to Friday nights. Keep in mind that Glee is one of Fox's biggest moneymakers - in fact, I think it takes in the most money of all scripted non-animated TV shows on US network television. Besides, Thursday nights don't seem...

Maybe I'm wrong about this, but if I remember correctly, some (all?) Season 1 episodes were remade for later seasons by removing the songs and tacking on Brown Hornet segments at the start of the episode (the one I can think of off the top of my head involves two white kids transferring into...

I don't remember ever seeing this in two parts - the only time I saw it was back in the days when networks still aired movies regularly, and ABC aired it in a two-hour movie block one year. Here are some of my favorites (in fact, I usually have a Christmas Eve DVD marathon): The Dick...

Well, the one I thought I would never see - USA Network's Duckman - finally did get released (and a complete set, too, although I am not 100% convinced that these don't have the time cuts added when the episodes were moved to Comedy Central). My top ones at the moment: The Phil Silvers...

Pardon me for asking, but (a) which shows were "forced off the air," and (b) by whom? (The only cartoon show I have ever heard of being forcibly removed was Hot Wheels, and "the version I heard was," it was the FCC's doing as they considered it a half-hour commercial for the toy cars.)

Yes, but did they restore each individual episode's credits, or just use one set for every episode? It has been a while since I have watched my set, but I seem to recall that Jean VanderPyl, who voiced Rosie, is not credited in any of the episodes on the DVDs.
