The same goes for Studio Ghibli’s animated movies.

...and also for WKRP In Cincinnati. Anywhere you do see it, it's not with the original music. They stripped out all the old radio tracks and replaced it with crap.

What a shame that the rights holders are so short sighted. The nostalgia those old tracks would create would surely sell more records. And it's not like anybody is going to be satisfied with replaying the video when they want the song, with the characters talking over the top of it.

Same thing happened to Daria. All the official releases have had all the then-current songs replaced with sound-alikes, placeholder music, or silence.

It's a shame as that cartoon was, and still is, A classic. I remember trying to find torrents back in the day. It's all on Hulu now. A little off topic- I apologize

Same for Malcolm in the middle.

It was not even available on dvd for a very long time. So much potential money lost.

reminds me of watching Married With Children recently, no Franky title music

Oh I wondered what happened there. I was thinking that maybe they had changed it in the later seasons but I was sure I’d never heard that version of it before.
