If You Had to Choose Public Domain Episodes... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

You know how "The Lucy Show", "The Andy Griffith Show", "The Beverly Hillbillies" and even "The Dick Van Dyke Show" have public domain episodes that are always released on cheap DVD sets. It's always the same few episodes. Much like how the four public domain "episodes" of The Three Stooges are "Disorder in the Court", "Brideless Groom", "Sing a Song of Six Pants" and Malice in the Palice." So, choose 8 or 9 episodes that you would put in the public domain of "NewsRadio."

Here's my picks!

Smoking
Luncheon at the Waldorf
The Cane
Arcade
Complaint Box
Stocks
Public Domain (this is fitting, lol)
Chock
Security Door

That's 9 episodes I choose to go into the public domain. What are some of your choices?

Smoking
The Shrink
Bitch Session
The Injury (since it appears on TWO season sets. Both are the edited versions though. The unedited version would be on this set)
Arcade
Movie Star
The Real Deal
The Public Domain (for obvious reasons)
Towers

If they ever did put out a cheap DVD of various Newsradio episodes, I wonder if the theme song would be replaced. I bought a couple of cheap Andy Griffith Show and Beverly Hillbillies DVD's a couple of years ago and neither of them used the original theme songs.

Whatever theme song replaced the "NewsRadio" one, I'm sure would be pleasing to Dave Foley. I like the theme song, but on the commentary, Dave kept saying that he hates the theme song.

I bought a couple "Petticoat Junction" tapes a few years back and they had changed that theme song, too. That's why those "Ultimate Collections" for Petticoat Junction and The Beverly Hillbillies were able to say that their sets included the original opening credits. Which should be a given, but in this day and age, it isn't.

The Newsradio theme song was never one of my favorites, but it was ok and it worked for the show. I was shocked when I heard that Dave hated it.

I've told this before, but once, shortly after "NewsRadio" ended I was watching an episode of "Extras". You know, that Entertainment Tonight-esque show. Anyways, it showed the anchor, and they played the NewsRadio theme. I got excited thinking they were going to talk about the show. To my surprise, they didn't. They were just using the NewsRadio theme song for one of their stories. LOL

That would have pissed me off.
