Is anyone interested in getting the 1986-91 ABC series Head of the Class a DVD release? I am one of those people...
Anyway, its theme song starts out medieval-sounding (orchestral strings and harpsichord) and then about halfway through switches to electric guitar-and-synth-driven mode. To me this medieval-sounding arrangement reminds me of the closing theme to the 1978 Bugs Bunny special A Connecticut Rabbit in King Arthur's Court (a.k.a. Bugs Bunny in King Arthur's Court).
I'd think the reason it's not out on DVD as of yet may be due to certain songs within the series as being licensed when first ran, and to use those songs originally featured on the ABC run would be too costly. That is the case with many TV shows that had licensed material during their original runs before they even went into syndication. One example is the first ever WWF WrestleMania special from March 31, 1985, which had the Philip Bailey-Phil Collins hit "Easy Lover" as the intro theme and Harold Faltermeyer's "Axel F (Theme from Beverly Hills Cop)" as the outro theme.
