Just curious, because I know that rights hell is sometimes a bit easier to get around outside of the U.S.

It's great to see that Shout!Factory may be interested in releasing the series with its original music intact. They did the same thing with Freaks And Geeks (which is a must-buy).

I have the Freaks And Geeks "Yearbook Edition," and it's quite spendy, but well-worth it!

You can tell Shout!Factory cares about what they release.

I don't know about other countries, but the last time The Comedy Network in Canada aired the series it was not with the original music.

Back in the early to mid 90s I worked for a television station which aired reruns of WKRP, and it still had the original music then. I don't know when it was changed.

I was looking through some old VHS tapes last week and came across the episode where Johnny buys a house in Gone with the Wind Estates. It was great watching that again. I wish I would have taped more of them!
