That's very true. I can't stream one of my favorite shows, Northern Exposure, because of the music licensing. They even had to change some music in order to release the DVDs. http://actsofvolition.com/2005/03/musiclicensing/ http://actsofvolition.com/2005/03/musiclicensing/

I immediately thought of Married... with Children https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Married..._with_Children https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Married..._with_Children > Its theme song is "Love and Marriage" by Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen, performed by Frank Sinatra from the 1955 television production Our Town. ... > The Sony DVD box sets from season 3 onward do not feature the original "Love and Marriage" theme song in the opening sequence. This was done because Sony was unable to obtain the licensing rights to the song for later sets. Despite this, the end credits on the DVDs for season 3 still include a credit for "Love and Marriage."

  "WKRP In Cincinnati" is the archetype for this problem.

The music was a great part of the show too! It was definitely missing something when I rewatched it.
