The potential stumbling block for F&G being released on DVD was always the
issue of paying increased licensing costs for the music. By setting the
price of the set so high, they were able to pay for the music and keep the
episodes in their original form. Having seen shows where they had to
re-dub the music for this reason (ever see re-runs of WKRP In Cincinnati?
Gah!), I got no problem with shelling out the $70...I don't know if I'm
obsessive enough to pay the $120, though. Maybe when the Undeclared box
comes out...
