The original individual season sets released by Fox were horrendous with most of the original music replaced with generic music. However, SHOUT FACTORY obtained the rights to approximately 80% of the original songs and these are included on the SHOUT FACTORY release. I am so thankful to SHOUT FACTORY for going the extra mile to restore as much of the original music as they could. This is a wonderful set and probably the best that we will ever get in physical media.

Found this on Reddit in regards to the music included as well as the music missing on the SHOUT DVD Set:

Open the GOOGLE Docs link to see WKRP - Complete spreadsheet of every song played on the show. As well as an indicator on the side concerning a song's presence on Shout's DVD set.

Hope this is helpful...

you should mention the format in the title. I was almost going to buy it until I saw it was a dvd set. If it had been streaming copy, it would already be in my library and up next to watch.

I own this, as I love the show...one of the all time greats.

Know that they did not pay the rights for the music that was originally played in the show, so there is generic music dubbed in that is in place of the original artists. It is a small detail but when you are expecting to hear Kiss and some generic riff comes up (being a fan of the show) you do get a little disappointed.

The sad part is the only way you know about replaced music is by searching around for comments from other people. Back before Blurays, it was fairly easy to find DVD reviews with detailed info. Once Blurays took over (which is good), many of the sites with DVD reviews disappeared or deleted them making it hard to find useful reviews of most DVDs. Blurays are a bit easier but some Blurays have no useful reviews anywhere. They just have placeholders which show up in searches but say nothing. Products should be clearly labeled on the cover as having the original music replaced or whatever is wrong, but I can't think of any examples when they are. There's no such thing as truth in advertising. It's always buyer beware.

In some TV shows I could live with replaced music if it's just playing in the background and has no meaning to the episode, but if it's the theme song or the actors are singing or dancing to specific music or it has relevance, changing it is unacceptable. Yet this seems to be extremely common in video releases. In the case of The Odd Couple series where Felix sings many songs, I read that they simply deleted large portions of the episodes, so I could never buy that series like that. It's always caveat emptor.

I'll never understand why getting music rights is so difficult but they don't seem to have any problems with the rights with the crew. Perhaps they should consider putting perpetual music rights in the contract?

Regarding the removal of the original music....wow!

So, if I watch WKRP as a rerun on TV....can I expect that the music will be replaced with generic stuff?....or is it just a DVD thing?

Musicians have become so greedy in their demands for monetary compensation. You would be paying triple that DVD price if the original music was retained.
