if they replace music it damn well better be noted on the DVD sleeve or somewhere. i would be very upset if i found out after buying the set.

this happaens more often than you think.
i remember when the show BUSOM BUDDIES returned to tv in the late 90's.
theme song was originally "My Life" by Billy Joel----but was replaced by some crappy throwaway song. it has since been re-instated now that Ted Turner has the rights to the show.

I rented a Pettiecoat Junction DVD that did not have the original theme song, because they cheap DVD company did not aquire the rights to it.

i'm glad Bosom Buddies has the original song. i'm sure in the 70s "home video" was never a thought or they would have put that in the clause when they used the songs originally.

I was a bit surprised to see THAT 70s SHOW come out on DVD so quickly for that very reason.

This is just awful. The Beavis & Butthead DVDs have been butchered thanks to this practice, as none of the discs show any of the videos the boys used to rip, which was a lot of the fun on the show. I think owners of the rights to films should get some sort of perpetual right to any music or anything else having a copyright in the film, so idiocy like this could be avoided. I'm simply speaking of a right to release the film with any &all music intact, not the right to take that music and release CDs and soundtracks and make money in that manner. It's funny what happened to Beavis & Butthead, since music videos have become such a dead & irrelevant medium. Does anyone actually think somebody who wants to put a film on DVD is sitting there thinking, "Gee, you know I really think we can make a ton of money because that one song is in there!"? If your song or music goes into a film and you've been paid for it, it should not be a stumbling block stopping the release of a film. If you still retain your rights to that music, you have every opportunity to make money off it. If I wrote a score for a film or had a song included, I wouldn't make a stink if a DVD release was slated, hoping to milk every penny out of it. Then again, people take things to extremes. That nitwit Michael Buffer refuses to utter the phrase "Let's get ready to rumble" unless someone is writing a check. It's amazing, and somewhat sickening, that somebody could copyright a phrase like that and become wealthy just by saying it, and that people would actually continually pay for. It's not like it has the impact of, say, "Give me liberty or give me death!".  Okay, end of my rant! Dennis Miller speaking on TV: "I don't wanna go on a rant here, but America's foreign policy makes about as much sense as Beowulf having sex with Robert Fulton at the first battle of Antietam. I mean, when a neo-conservative defenestrates it's like Raskolnikov filibuster deoxymonohydroxinate." Peter Griffin: "What the hell does rant mean?" - Family Guy |

well, they are showing Beavis and Butthead on eMpTV2, and they look complete to me, so maybe they can still air the episodes just not release them on home video. i'm sure that if B & B saw the "video" channels today they would agree... "this sucks!"

I bought some Kimba DVDs at the 99 Cent Store, and when I got home, I was horrified to find that the music was all replaced and the voices all redubbed. I could watch it in Spanish or English (both STEREO!), and that's cool and everything, but I was bummed.

the WKRP set is awful- stripped episodes, replaced music, why did they even bother? at least they noted it ON the cover, i would have been highly irate about that if it wasn't.
as it is, i don't even want to watch the new set.

A similar thing happened in wrestling.When Vince McMahon revived the ECW promotion he refused to pay for the rights to the song ENTER SANDMAN from Metallica just so wrestler Sandman could use it as entrance music.I wonder how Paul Heyman got away with using the music then on his televised shows.
