Fame (1982-1987 TV series) Seasons 2 - 6 on DVD, when??

Has any heard if and when the remaining seasons of this tv show may or might not get released on DVD? I assume Fox might release this around the time the new movie gets released theatrically or on home video, but that's just speculative. Any other fans of this show out there?

Awhile back I remember reading that the reason season two wasn't released awhile back was because of problem getting the music rights for the DVD. It looks like they decided to probably substitute a song or two on that episode to either make the set more affordable or maybe even so they could get the episode of the disc.

Music rights have been plaguing older tvshows on dvd for a lot right now.

Walmart is selling seasons 1 and 2 separately. I picked up season 2 since I already had one.

How much are they selling season 2 for? I own season 1 as well and if its $20 I'd rather just pick up season 2 instead of the combo.

went with getting the double season release (since the purchase of Season One from an Amazon Marketplace seller resulted in me getting an unadvertised region 4 release)

I really don't remember the music from season 2, select songs from Season one wound up on album release called 'The Kids from Fame'.



I'd be curious to see if the song change from the episode: 'Come One, Come All' isn't 'Happy Birthday'

it looks like all the songs were cleared for Season 2.

I hope we at least get season 3. The latter seasons I can take or leave, but at least seasons 3 and 4 still have much of the original cast (plus I am a Janet Jackson fan so I'd want season 4 for her), but when they revamped the theme song and kept Danny as a student far too long, it had gotten bad.
