Hi all,

For all the FREAKS AND GEEKS fans, the creators have an official petition up at
www.freaksandgeeks.com/dvd to get Dreamworks to pay the music rights to release
it on DVD.

If you are a fan, you may want to head over and sign it.

I saw this mentioned at the Home Theater Forum. I'm signing. The few eps I
saw of this show were really good. I would love to own all of them. I'm
still waiting on The Wonder Years...shall take a lifetime to get cleared...

:P I know about that site. It was started based on a suggestion/thread by
me at the Home Theater Forum.

You do realize that they are not mutually exclusive...

But I'm with you on Nowhere Man. I'd like to see that one too.

The Wonder Years strikes me as a pretty hard sell for lots of subtle
reasons--too many episodes, still in active rotation on cable, etc. Whereas
F&G went only one season.

I have the sole DVD from the show, featuring the first and last episodes.
The quality of the transfer is awful. Dunno what they were thinking.

It's a real shame that now that the technology is there to produce good
quality copies of these older shows for incredibly low cost, we are unlikely
to see most of them ever make it to DVD because of the marketing cost. They
can probably burn and package a DVD for under a buck, but the lawyers easily
jack up the cost to the point where it becomes infeasible for all but the
most popular shows.

Me, I'm still eagerly awaiting the day when this exciting AOL-Time Warner
merger will make all this great media material easily available over the
Internet.

THere were two dvds produced, each by a third-party. They had horrible
transfers and the music was altered. Hopefully any DVD released by the
prodcuig company would include the correct mucis (which may cost a crapload
to license) and would include good transfers.
