Apparently broadcast and DVD licensing are separate. Seems like the syndicated episodes have always had the original music, from what I've heard.

All evidence is that the rights are not cheap. I assume that they charge a fee similar to what it would take to put the song (or a fragment) on a compilation CD. The idea of something like a DVD reissue of an entire series would not even have been contemplated back when the music was originally licensed for broadcast.

I own Zardoz. I think my brain would explode if I tried to watch those movies back-to-back, however.

Hmm…. a few films for me to watch, as I am fascinated by that late-60s spy/sci-fi aesthetic.

It's campy and dumb. If you find the late-60s aesthetic amusing (which I do), it's got a lot of that. The last time I watched it was with our local MST3K knock-off gang, and it gave them lots of material. If I recall, Dino de Laurentiis produced this, and also the infamous 1980 Flash Gordon. They definitely share a…

Milwaukee??? I smell a Happy Days/Laverne and Shirley crossover! The Community crew could take over Arnold's from Al, Jr.! The original Happy Days gang would be in their mid-70s now, right? They probably have grandkids, so you could have Ralph Malph III as a young, hip, technology-using teen. Find some Disney-channel…

Eh, it has a non-zero DC component, so it never goes negative.

Don't you mean "AIDSdorkable"?

It's about a time-and-space traveling police inspector and his faithful constable sidekick.  At least, that's the only part I pay any attention to.

@Potions:disqus Yup, I have heard that Link Wray purposefully slashed the speaker on his amp. Either that, or it happened accidentally, and he liked the sound and intentionally left the amp unrepaired.

I haven't read it in a few years and can't really reproduce the argument, but Edward O. Wilson's Consilience has some interesting things to say about science and art. Basically, all human endeavors (such as art and science) exist in the physical universe and therefore should be "consilient" with the principles upon…
