- Scoundreller 7y agoHaha, always funny when an EU watcher starts singing the « wrong » theme song to a show and confuses all the Americans on the couch.
- ghaff 7y agoThere are a few TV series where music played a significant role that, on DVD, much of that has been stripped out because of music rights. You basically can't get the shows as aired. Norther Exposure, and (I've been told) WKRP in Cincinnati come to mind.
- HeyLaughingBoy 7y agoYou know, I never though of this before, but I'm sure there was an episode of Northern Exposure that ended with Etta James's "At Last," and I'm positive that the DVD version doesn't have the song. I remember it because it was one of my favorite episodes. I lost my box set years ago, so I guess I won't be verifying that.
- cgriswald 7y agoMy favorite butchering of a show due to external license rights is Beavis and Butthead. My guess is that during their original run on MTV, MTV possessed the rights to air the videos, and the show never acquired those rights. Given the sheer number of videos the series must have gone through, I don't hold out much hope for ever having a complete set, short of piracy. Hilariously, or sadly, depending on your point of view, box sets of the series say things like "Complete Episodes!" which is technically true, if you consider the episode to be only the non-video content, but the episodes were also largely about B&B saying stupid things while sitting on the couch watching videos.
- dragonsngoblins 7y agoDaria is another case of that happening. I have seen DVD rips with the audio track from old TV rips floating around somewhere just because people want the music back. It is a real shame when art gets modified after release due to licensing agreements
