It doesn't really matter anyway because unfortunately I don't see a set with any music being released for a long time

If they are going to pay the rights fees they might as well go all the way and get all of the music but again there were some instances where it could be eliminated. An example would be one of the later ones with Giovanni Ribisi's character listening to an album while Kevin was over to visit. The song had no impact on the story and was just background music.

Two questions...
How much did you buy your set for?
And two...would you still buy TWY on DVD (legitimately) if all the music WASN'T put onto the set? Maybe a good 70% was, but not 100% original music.

The only way that I'd ever consider buying seasons of The Wonder Years without 100% of the music is if they totally went all out on extras. Documentaries, complete cast commentaries, commentaries with the directors, creator, writers, and so on.
And even then I'd have to think about it, since I hate supporting such releases when they dick around and replace and/or remove any original music.

Hi everyone...i'm a brazilian fan of the show, and i also can't wait to this set to be released.
But i gotta say, i'm very concerned about this music stuff...
I'm downloading the episodes to watch the show all over again (the ripped episodes aired on a brazilian channel, with original sound and subtitles), and i from the episodes i watched i already noticed at least 4 changes in the soundtrack, and it was dissapointing.
The first one, was the pilot first scene music, Turn Turn Turn from the Byrds. I almost quitted watching the episode. I couldn't believe they have changed the music.
In the episode "Angel", also from the first season, in the scene when Karen walks in with the radio on very loud, the music that was playing was not "Foxy Lady" but another Hendrix song.
Another one is from the first episode of the second season, Heart of the Darkness, in the first scene, with Kevin in a cave. The original song, "Riders of the Storm" was replaced by another The Doors' song.
And the last one i noticed, from the episode "Steady as she goes", in the scenes where Kevin appear with Becky Slater, the original music was the Thrill is Gone by BB King, and was also replaced.
I don't know who decided to change this...but this worried me...
PS: Please forgive any writing mistakes...rsrs

For those of us who haven't watched the show since it first aired, I'm not so certain we'd know what was or wasn't cut -- at least I wouldn't. Would it take away from the authenticity of it? Absolutely. But if the only alternative is never releasing it, I'd rather have it now with or without the music intact.

Yes, I heard someone bumped the thread on the main page of DVD Talk and there wasn't any real news involved.
Trust me, once it happens this board will be flooded with info.

It is now a couple days later and I have had time to think about my actions. I want to appologise to every DVDtalk forum reader, that saw my thread bump and got excited. I have let everyone down. I am ashamed of myself. I now realise that the best options would of been to have a) start a new thread and not bothered searching and b) Not of bothered to enquire/raise interest about a series, I and many other people have been waiting on for a long time.
Please, accept my appologies. I can not get through each day knowing I have caused a sarcastic response from a member

Well, ok... as long as you know what you did was wrong, we can let it go.
I suppose you don't have as hard a time getting through your days knowing spellcheck is a friend and not an enemy though, do you?

When I log onto the internet, I don't think of it as walking into a classroom. I am here to chill out and relax, not worry about every single detail of grammar and punctuation. I think I am ok, compared to some other typing skills I have seen. But I do admit, my skills have took a downward spial. It is my own fault though, as I have stopped spending my Friday and Saturday nights practicing(?could you spell check for that for me....cheers)......

And if you don't like to feel like you're walking into a classroom I suggest you stay far away from the Otter forum. They'd eat you from the asshole out in about 2 seconds. Unless, you know, you're into that sorta thing...

Thinking about it, I may have to schedule some more weekend practice sessions. Who am I to think I can post on a DVD forum and relax and not worry about 5 or 6 spelling mistakes after a hard days work. As for the Otter forum comment, I was thinking you would be more into that sort of thing, since the idea and suggestion has originated from your obviously very educated mind.
Oh damn. Look at what I have done. I am here, ranting on about your priorities and I am creating long responses like this. You have found me out, I am a hypocrite, you win.

It's ok you, you're a funny guy. You don't have to impress anyone. You can stop now.

Oh, here I am ranting again. Sorry to take up so much of your time. I look forward to your next well-thought out response.
Off to Otterville...
