Oh YEAH!

I saw this earlier today. Finally - a relatively clean transfer of these great shows!

Paramount comes through. Better late than never, right? I am really excited for this!

robyrob · 06-29-2009, 07:23 PM

wow - you gotta be kidding me....

maybe CBS-Paramount is still in business after all

Scoobiedoo30 · 06-29-2009, 08:30 PM

this is great news

catlover79 · 06-29-2009, 08:31 PM

YAY!!

Kristen · 06-29-2009, 10:10 PM

I've been so excited all day since I heard.

I just need to get S1 before this comes out, and my collection will be complete!

zypherix · 06-30-2009, 06:52 AM

Notice how it says "The Fourth Season" and not "The Complete Fourth Season" though... like Cheers and Frasier it'll probably have music removed.

MrRetro_08 · 06-30-2009, 09:24 AM

Never thought they would bother anymore, thats four down and just one to go.

gidgetgrape · 06-30-2009, 09:54 AM

Wow, I had given up hope on this one!

Adamantium · 07-01-2009, 07:45 AM

Very few things in life make me giddy, but that's how I am thinking about finally being able to own season four of Taxi.

My only main fear is the season premiere, "Vienna Waits" because they play that Billy Joel song all through out the episode. So I'm worried about that. But I've decided that even if they do screw that episode up I'm going to focus on the positive. And that's getting all the other episodes of season four and being one season shy of owning the whole series.

As for the actual title "The Fourth Season", I don't think that means anything. Paramount has changed all their DVD titles to that rather than "The Complete (whatever) Season." And besides the Bob James music, which to me is as important as any of the characters, I don't remember much music that would be edited out for the release.

TV DVD Fan · 07-01-2009, 12:09 PM

Wow, I always wondered if "Vienna Waits" alluded to the BJ song and since I've never seen it I never found out that answer until now. I'm a tremendous Billy fan so it would be so awesome for me if I could watch that episode with the music intact. It's such a great song too. If a studio like Shout! or MPI was releasing it, I wouldn't be worried at all, but since we're talking about Paramount, I'm leaning more towards it not being included in the episode. Knowing PHE, they'll just replace it with their crappy stock generic crap like they did in Cheers whenever a real song was played or even mentioned. I really hope they prove me wrong though because I would love to see two of my favorite things combined: Taxi and Billy Joel. Well, time will tell I suppose.

catlover79 · 07-01-2009, 12:51 PM

I'm just happy they kept that Boogaloo song on the third season DVD when Alex was dancing in the gay bar. That was the PERFECT song for that scene. I mean, of all the Taxi cast members, Judd Hirsch is probably the one you'd least expect to be disco dancing atop a bar. That just made the scene even more hilarious. Tony's line was the capper: "Alex, Elaine's heart is broken and you're having a great time here dancing."

MickeyMac · 07-01-2009, 07:38 PM

It took them long enough

Skywalker · 07-01-2009, 08:46 PM

I've been waiting for this announcement for 3 1/2 years!

I just hope enough people buy it. It would be a shame if we had to wait 4 years for Season 5.

Don't be surprised if "Vienna Waits" has replacement music. Remember, this is the same company that released the Bosom Buddies and Dave's World season sets without the original theme music and both of those themes were Billy Joel songs, plus they were sung by cover artists.

Kristen · 07-01-2009, 11:09 PM

Ooh, I hadn't even thought about music replacement on "Vienna Waits." That would be a real shame, b/c not only is the song significant to the ep. (it's named after the song, for God's sake!), but the ep. is one of my faves. I'm going to try to remain optimistic, though. After all, this is the same company that released Wings, and we never found music issues there. Though I suppose one could argue there was never a situation like this one. Oh well, guess we'll just wait till Sept. and find out!
