Re: Blast from the pastWKRP wasn't the most complicated show around, but it was well-written and the actors and actresses played their parts well. When I heard that it was going to released on DVD, I was interested in picking it up........until I found out all the music had been replaced with nameless dreck due to the license having expired on using copyright music.
Imagine how much the artists involved could have made if a deal to license it could have been worked out. I would think the sales of the DVDs would have been pretty good, given the lack of quality programming on the airwaves these days. |

Yep, that's happened to a lot of TV shows. Shows like this, the music is relevant to the show. Another one I can recall where the music change adversely affected the show was Quantum Leap where half the episodes have had their music replaced. In one episode, the original music was relevant to the plot itself! And in other episodes, Sam is dancing to the real music yet it was replaced with 'nameless dreck' for the DVD. Some TV airings still have original music of some shows though, while some DVD's don't... I haven't figured that one out yet. |

I wouldn't go as far as to say it's the artists either,depends, who owns the publishing rights. |

Re: Blast from the pastThe other sad part is WKRP could have made a killing in syndication ...reruns would have paid infinitely better than the first run. Sadly, it never happened because of those copyright issues. |

WKRP is in syndication. It's on all the time here. Has been for years.
Next episode is Sunday at 9 PM: "Love Returns" - Andy may have to leave WKRP when he rekindles his love for a touring rock star. |

Defect to the US.
Bonus: There are parts of this country where it never snows! |

What a bummer. Thanks, archaic copyright laws... |
