I'd say it was pretty obvious that the reviewer concurred. Personally, I suspect the original music could be replaced by crickets chirping, and some would be happy as the WPIG pig in slop. Enjoy... it's your money spent, not mine.

Reading a lot of the comments, especially those wishing Fox wouldn't have put out the release and the wish that another company would have been licensed to put out WKRP. I do wonder how Fox really thought this release was going fly, and make the type of return that would have made it a...

I tried keeping an open mind regarding the release until I KNEW how minor or how major the cuts, changes and edits might be. I'm pretty jaded, and expected the worst, while hoping that I'd be wrong... I was wrong, but not in the good way, it appears that the changes were far worse and more...

Don't forget the Theme Song, since it sets up the premise of the show. Also another that stands out in my mind that I think was significant to the story, the theme from Patton on Young Master Carlson (I think that was the title of the episode) when Carlson's son arrives in his military school...

The other question I have is this.... Does Hugh Wilson have a financial interest in the success of these sets? If so, it's quite understandable that he would have some positive things to say about the edits (sorry but music replacements are edits as much as some people would like to pretend...

A lot of assumptions based on very little information other than Fox saying there will be replaced songs. Could be just a random song here or there ... or it could be most songs edited out and replaced. For me personally, it means waiting until the sets have been reviewed and the editing...

I'm hoping that maybe the league is planning to release all of the games in original broadcast form, but I'm not holding my breath. Not as long as Steve Sabol and NFL Films are involved. Sabol has stated repeatedly that viewers do not want to watch a full replay of 3-hour game. (I disagree...

R2 obviously isn't the best option in all cases. With QL it's about the only option in my opinion as the heavily-music edited R1 versions of S2 & S3 are complete garbage IMO. It just seems like it becomes a possible option when music replacement is involved. It is interesting to me how...

I would be curious to know if the edits were also made in the R2 versions since it seems like most rights holders seem to hold out for higher fees for R1 versions. It seems like buying versions intended for Europe are going to become more popular. I refused to buy the butchered season 2 and 3...

Personally, I think I'd rather give Warner Brothers $30 or $40 as a commitment to buy season 2 if they'll release it to show my interest in SEASON SETS of Night Court rather than waste $10 on something I REALLY don't want (i.e. a "best of" 6-episode coaster). Or if WB wants to dangle the...

Personally, I think bob dubelko of carsey-werner (I won't give him the respect of referring to the jackass by Mr. or capitalizing his name) came across as the biggest jerkoff in the entire piece.

I would be very curious to hear the responses regarding Roseanne, Cosby Show, and 3rd Rock from the Sun. It seems really strange that all 3 are Carsey/Werner shows and all 3 were released with syndication cuts. I'm not that familiar with all of the Carsey/Werner products, so I don't know...

Katherine... Ah, that didn't sound so bad then... I guess I've read enough of the "something is better than nothing... just pay up and quit complaining" attitude about altered sets. So I assumed it was meant that the studio don't owe anybody but their shareholders an explanation for what they...

While I think it's great that they are doing this, I don't think they owe an explanation to anyone for what they do or don't report on. Well, since the companies are asking us to give them our money... I do think its fair to ask them for explanations, especially in the cases where a set as...

Well, I decided to contact MPI Media Group which is releasing both the Beverly Hillbillies and Petticoat Junction sets, regarding the "Ultimate" collections that amounted to about 2/3s to 3/4s of the 1st seasons for the two shows. It seemed strange to me that they would omit about 10 shows...

It won't catch on as long as Steve Sabol of NFL Films has any say in it. He's decreed that fans have no interest in watching complete games, even classics like The Catch or the The Drive. As long as Sabol, protecting his NFL Films' fortune, can keep the NFL convinced that its not sitting on a...

If I understand correctly, the rights holders increased their demands after agreeing to a different cost for the first two seasons. I could be wrong but my understanding of the MWC theme issue was that the studio balked at a higher demand when they opened discussions for season 3. (I wouldn't...

I keep hearing maybe they won't release the rest of the shows... I understand the logic for the "better than nothing" people. As someone who isn't buying these altered sets.... I frankly don't care if it means Universal doesn't release the rest of the series... If Universal does release the...

I'm concerned that by not buying these music altered sets that we could send Universal the message that we don't welcome music replacement, that we view music replacement as a bad thing. We might give Universal the impression that we won't fully support whatever edited crap they deem to give...

Simply put..... :D

Same here. I really don't want "Best of" sets at all. But if sales are good, then maybe they'd release season sets. So its a question of do I spend my money on something I REALLY don't want, in hopes that it would convince them to release something I really do want. Or do I spend my money...

Hopefully, Universal will do season 1 of Miami Vice right, with music intact. That, in my opinion, is "better than nothing". Having 1 season right (even though I'd want all seasons of Miami Vice), is better than nothing. The music-replaced versions would tick me off to the point that it...

That was a very enlightening list!! What I wondered in looking at the list was.... how many of the songs that were kept, fall under public domain? It looks like Universal went to great effort to reduce its expenditure on music rights for this set. (Additionally, given the extensive...

I think its a positive step for the TV-on-DVD website as many consumers, myself included, use the site as one of their primary resources for information on DVD releases. We're counting on it being more than an archive of reviews and press releases from studios. Adding the feature becomes...

Quantum Leap Season 2 Northern Exposure Season 2 Married with Children Season 3 Northern Exposure is really disappointing because when Season 1 came out, and Season 2 was listed, I disagreed with the people who complained about the pricing, arguing that I felt the price was acceptable...

I'm glad someone also mentioned Northern Exposure replacing music as well as I had missed that mention in a Northern Exposure. Quantum Leap and Northern Exposure were both going to be among my next couple purchases. Thanks to the people who pointed these changes out, so it hopefully will...

Stephen, if you want to buy it that's cool, it's your money. But its also the right of consumers not to spend THEIR money on something that's not what they want. For a significant number of collectors/fans/consumers etc, it appears that incomplete or edited sets are not something they...

It's not a biggie (to me), but Laverne & Shirley season 1 uses the opening from the first show, through the entire season. Based on what I've read on the epguides.com site, only episode one had an opening with "Laverne DeFazio & Shirley Feeney". ... The remaining 14 episodes apparently just...

A question and a comment... Does this mean that Columbia had to secure the rights individually for each season release? Or that Columbia released seasons 1 and 2 without having the rights to use the song? I don't fault Columbia if the music rights holder was asking for some outrageous...

My Favorite Martian wasn't a big favorite of mine, its kind of on the "might buy" list for me. But I really think Rhino deserves some applause for listening to consumers and fans of the show, and making the effort to do it "right." For huge fans of the show, I'm sure the wait, and maybe a...
