I think there is an important distinction between "no other choice" and "we couldn't be bothered" but the public isn't going to be privy to the truth. Do we trust the studios to be honest?

When you consider that in order to replace the music they would have to go back to the original stems and remix the whole season again after finding and licensing new music, the rush to market seems a little on the unbelievable side. Will I be happy if it takes many more months to get a...

My only concern would be verifying the accuracy of the information posted. Perhaps it should be classified as rumor or confirmed somehow. People would be equally pissed off if they heard the show was edited, and then didn't preorder, only to find out later it was fine, and had to pay a higher...

Hardly. I bet that most people won't even notice the music was changed. That's not to say it isn't worth mentioning, but it is not that big an issue to many people.

I think it's pretty unfair to deride TV Shows on DVD for not making a federal case out of the changed music issue. For most people, they wouldn't even notice it, and I would prefer sites rely on their own observations rather than relying in heresay on the web for reporting their news. You can't...

Now hold on a minute, that isn't quite fair. The producers of the show could quite easily secured rights for any and all future uses when they negotiated the cost of licensing in the first place, but they didn't - why? To save money. Now it's biting them in the ass, because when the show is...

Well if you want to get technical about it, it is the publishers whose job it is to get placement in TV shows in the first place, so they are the ones most likely holding out. By having the music they control replaced, the publishers are going to feel the heat, since they are costing their...

No, I think it's more an issue of facing the reality of what can and can't be expected for a DVD release. Fans expect the studios to go and do new transfers, dig up or create extras, license all the original music, and lavish attention on their favorite series. The studios have to work within...

While I am as disappointed as anyone that the Northern Exposure music has been altered, I can honestly say that it did not affect my enjoyment of the series one bit (okay, maybe a little bit, but not enough that I would even think about not having this in my collection). I think fans have to...

Doubtful. There was no indication music had been changed on the Northern Exposure set. It seems as if TV on DVD is a compromise no matter what. We either get full length episodes with music missing, edited episodes, or transfers from less than ideal sources. In some ways this makes sense...

How about Northern Exposure fans who have coughed up $40+ for two seasons of 8 and 7 episodes only to find the music has been replaced? This doesn't bode well.
