Vote hereI actually have heard good things about Charmed but never got into it. Hopefully you won't have to wait too long to get it on DVD. LanceMan
I only watched it the first season or two. I have only seen one or two episodes since they killed off Shannen Doherty's character and brought on Rose McGowan. I had a crazy schedule so I barely watched any tv for a few years - my sister taped a few shows for me so I could keep caught up, but Charmed was one of the shows that slipped through the cracks. Every once in a while I watch a rerun on TNT though.

Look, if this is weird for you, being tutored? I don't mind helping you a little longer. You could have sex with me if you really want to help...I guess that's a "no"?

No one else wanted Greg the Bunny & Remington Steele? ![]() I'm still holding out hope that one day they will release the Wonder Years. Then again, I bought MSCL from Another Universe, so I'm obviously a sucker! Natasha aka candygirl :: MSCL.com

Picket Fences was supremely cool until it started to become a parody of itself! I'd like to see Northern Exposure, and possibly Miami Vice.

"Ahhh!" you mean. Never saw Greg the Bunny. But Remington Steele?! Was amusing for a few episodes but got very tedious. Never understood THE WONDER YEARS popularity in the slightest. It doesn't, however, come anywhere close to the incredibly horrid: Malcolm in the Middle. I could swear they try their best to make that the most idiotic show on TV. Maybe they want to beat That 70's Show for stupidity. Been a member since sometime BR (before Ross)
I think I heard somewhere (don't remember where) that Northern Exposure was in the works for DVD release. I loved that show when it was on, but haven't seen it in years. I wonder how it holds up? You'll never see Miami Vice on DVD. As with WKRP, the music rights are just too expensive. Jim Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight.
Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight. Does anyone know if TV shows have changed the way they select music or get the rights to use it so that currently running series won't have this problem? It seems like most tv shows now have a decent chance at becomeing a dvd set so i hope something has changed. I'm excited because I just found out that "Soap" (classic 70s show with Katherine Helmond)is available on dvd and it's dirt cheap!
It's not so much the selection process as it is clearing the rights. With older shows, they cleared the rights to use the songs for the series when they aired and nothing else, because shows weren't released on VHS and DVD didn't exist. That means that if they want to release a show like the Wonder Years or Miami Vice, now they have to back to all of the artists and get clearance again. Of course the artists know that the studio that owns the rights to the show will make a buttload of money from the DVD release, so the singers want a cut of that. The studio is left with the decision to
(1) pay up and absorb the cost, effectively decrease their own profit margin - not likely! (2) pay up and increase the price which may deter people from buying the set, hence decreasing their own profit margin (3) replace the music with cheap/generic/unknown songs which may deter people from buying the set, hence decreasing their own profit margin while angering their fans (4) forget about releasing the set at all Some shows (like Felicity) only had musical clearance for the music to be played on the show on the original network, so when the show was sold into syndication, they did not have musical clearance for any of the songs. To avoid these problems with future DVD releases, they now get clearance for the music to air on the show AND for the DVD. Natasha aka candygirl :: MSCL.com
Look, if this is weird for you, being tutored? I don't mind helping you a little longer. You could have sex with me if you really want to help...I guess that's a "no"? The studio has a fifth option: release an incomplete set with one or more episodes left out. A&E released a set of the first season of a series called Profiler. If you read the fine print on the back of the package, there's one episode missing. That's because a particular song and/or music video (I think it was 'Every Breath You Take' by The Police) was a part of the episode's plot. They couldn't replace it with anything else and still have the story make sense, and they couldn't afford to pay the asking price, so they dropped the entire episode. Jim Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight.

Very true - if a show doesn't have a ton of music (like the aforementioned shows), that is definitely a possiblity too. I guess another option in that case is to get someone to cover the song (ugh!).

Hmmm. Spose i could have caught it on cable if i'd ever had cable. I loved the first season where people complained about how dark it was, how little dialog there was, and that there was so much slang jargon that half the audience couldn't tell what they were talking about. Didn't like when they blew up Sonny's cool car and switched to the Testarossa. Please! It should have been a Lamborghini if they were going modern! WKRP was a great comedy. Occasionally had some cool serious stuff to say, too. Been a member since sometime BR (before Ross)
Great thread, I liked Miami Vice. I also miss Sonny's alligator, Elvis. WKRP was funny and cool on many levels. Some of the funniest episodes were the Thanksgiving Day episode & and the attack of the Communist Tornadoes. The most poignant episode was the one that followed the Who concert in 1979 in which fans were killed. That all the Cincinnati references were pretty cool. When I lived in Houston in the 80s the impression that most people I met had about Cincinnati actually was based on the show. Given all that was to follow here since (Maplethorpe, Marge Schott, Article XIII and the Riots of 2001), this was not a bad thing. I would hope that eventually, WKRP and Miami Vice would get released. As MSCL has proved if there is a fan base for a show, companies can make money selling DVDs.
