Miami Vice s1 -- January 18th, 2005!!!
Yes, I know there are a number of Miami Vice threads.
However, I think this is important enough to warrant its own RELEASE thread instead of having to read through a question/speculation thread to get at the REAL news*.

According to our friends at tvshowsondvd.com:
We've received word that Miami Vice will be released on January 18th, 2005, not later this year as the recent trailer led us to believe.
Thanks to Pavan Badal from SitcomsOnline.com who sent us the news.

The first couple of seasons of Miami Vice hold up with anything ever put on TV, IMHO. It was still Michael Mann's show, with all the stylishness and directorial savvy he would later bring to all of the solid to exceptional films he would eventually produce. And dammit, what great music. I'm in!

I don't get this music rights thing. You'd think that because the music was already used in the show(s) during broadcast or syndication, that any and all clearances would be complete. Why would releases to home video be any different?

better news
The story discusses the effect of the Internet on the TV-on-DVD phenomenon, concentrating on how online e-tailers can stock a deeper inventory with a wider variety of choices than brick-and-morter stores. Other aspects of Internet involvement were brought up, and even though sites like TVShowsOnDVD weren't mentioned in the write-up, it was made clear that the studios are interested in direct feedback from the fans.
Miami Vice was held up as an example of this type of interaction, which led to a comment by one of the execs from Universal who was quoted in the story. That quote, below, reveals something of interest to fans looking forward to the release!
The Internet also can provide tips on what's going well with a release--and what's not.
After some site surfing, Ken Graffeo, executive VP at Universal Studios Home Video, noticed irate rumors that Miami Vice would not come equipped with 5.1 quality sound.
"All the fans came out for that," he said of its impending release. "And yes, we're putting it out in 5.1."
That sounds great, and will sound great in my home theater as well! Don't forget that the best word we have on the subject is that all the originally broadcast music ought to be included on the upcoming release, which we understand should be on Jan. 18th. We're still waiting on Universal's official announcement for this release, but if that street date is accurate, we could be getting the news any time now. Stay tuned!

Why if you got paid to have your song on a show should you get paid again if the purchaser decides to use that show to sell in another medium that you were already paid for?
Then shouldn't the whole crew who worked on the show with that one song including the grip guys be paid again.

First, am I right about the original sound?
Second, is anyone with me on wanting original sound? Or am I completely alone?

I mainly am concerned about the music. To this day I can remember an episode where they found skeletons in a house while Dire Straits "Brothers in Arms" played. I haven't seen that episode since the 80's -- but whenever I hear that song, I still think about that!
The music was such a big part of the show that it would be tragic to replace it. I definitely won't be picking it up if they do change it.
