Your Thoughts: TMS Season 1 DVD

You're correct, rights do vary from country to country. It is therefore distinctly possible that Disney simply went for the 'lowest common denominator': they cut out everything that could not be cleared for all territories.

Argh!

Disney could not ever make the Vincent Price episode complete!?
They could not ever put 'You've Got A Friend' on that episode!?

Gee, a special episode without the closing number, Disney?!!
That's like Gilbert without Sullivan, Hamburgers without Fries, Ernie without Bert, Mom without Dad, etc. etc.
Why not figure out a way for both you and the music owners to both have the rights of the edited songs, so you can re-issue the Season 1 DVD (complete)?

THEY WON'T DIL!!!!

For the LAST TIME: IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. If the rights owners do not want to licence the song, there is nothing that you, I, Disney or GOD can do about it.

NOBODY will EVER make the complete 1st Season of TMS on DVD at all... EVER! Is that true?

No they WON'T! NOT EVER!! and by "Nobody" u mean is Disney! we're LUCKY we even have one!

*sigh*...I give up.

No, nothing's impossible. But it's not particularly likely that this will happen any time soon, and it probably won't happen at all - even in the event that the rights situation changes, the sales of an uncut boxset are going to be limited largely to people who a) know and b) care that the first release was cut and c) either didn't buy the first one or else are prepared to shell out a second time, so Disney are highly unlikely to consider it financially viable, and that's the bottom line: if they don't believe it will sell, they have no reason to do it.

The boxset is cut. Live with it. If you're that desperate to see the uncut shows, then I can only suggest that you try and trade with someone. They're not exactly difficult to obtain - I've had uncut copies for years. The only things that are hard to find are: some of the original Season 1 openings, which *are* included in the Disney set, and the original closings, which aren't.

If Disney made the 1st Season DVD Complete, they would have to go...
to JAIL!!! Right?

Just drop it. Please.

If I have the powers of hypnotive, I would be able to make the music owners bring the rights to Disney. That would have been the only way Disney would EVER, EVER, EEEVVVVVVVERRR get the licence.

DON'T GET JEALOUS, ANATHEMA!!!!!!!

Listen, You Owners Of The Edited Songs!! IF YOU DON'T CHANGE YOUR MINDS AND BRING DISNEY THE RIGHTS OF YOUR SONGS, I'M GONNA CURSE YOU!!! CURSE YOU, I TELL YOU!! I CURSE YOU AND MAKE YOU CHANGE YOUR MINDS!! HA HA HA HA HAAHH!!!

Even that won't work?
(Don't get jealous, Anathema, and answer that question 'Even that won't work?', please.)

I DON'T WANT DISNEY TO OWN THE RIGHTS OF THE MUPPETS ANYMORE, AND I WENT THEM TO BRING THE RIGHTS OF THE MUPPETS TO THE COMPANY WHO OWNS ALL THE SONGS USED ON THE MUPPET SHOW!!!

just stop...PLEASE!?! The song owners to own the Muppets? are u joking? theres like 100 diffrent song owners for EACH song used on the Muppet show!

Ok, I think it's pretty obvious what he's doing now, so can I make a suggestion?

Don't feed the troll.

eh yea you think...he hardly ever makes any sense..

And then there's the poor spelling and grammar - and indeed, grasp of English - not to mention the inability to understand the word "stop". Classic trolling...

I must be getting rusty - I used to be able to spot trolls much faster than this

Can I just say the irony of the situation that has crossed my mind?

For a person who has stated elsewhere that he doesn't really like the first season all that much here he's been getting all upset and sulky over the fact that edits had to be made to the DVD release and demanding that it be re-released uncut.

This thread descended into farce several pages ago...

So very true...

What happens to Disney if they used the songs they could never own on the Season 1 DVD?

Go ahead tell me the answer. Don't complain. Just answer the question.
