> You pay for Netflix, start watching show X, and when it gets to the big dramatic moment with sweeping music (that you remember from when the show originally aired), it’s replaced with elevator music. > Same goes for a lot of movies. Wait wat? Do you have some examples / links?

WKRP in Cincinnati used a lot of rock/pop music that was replaced in syndication. I believe that's also why The Drew Carey Show isn't readily available these days.

Pretty much the entire Scrubs soundtrack is different on Netflix.

I remember watching the episode "Faith" from Supernatural in TV with an amazing usage of "Don't fear the reaper" by Blue Öyster Cult (the cowbell one), and when trying to searching the episode in streaming platforms was replaced by a generic rock song... a total shame considering the plot of the episode it's about a literal Grim Reaper.

Northern Exposure did this - another TV show that had a spectacularly well considered soundtrack, but licensing costs were onerous. Though evidently the first season release did include original music, but had an exorbitant (retail) price - subsequent seasons they did the ol' elevator music swap-in. Aside - it explains why, so I've been told, there's two similarly popular torrents out there, one high-quality DVD-rip with a bad score, and one low-quality VHS-rip with the original score. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Exposure#Home_media https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Exposure#Home_media

Supernatural and Scrubs are famous ones since the music is a big part people liked them in the first place.
