I caught an episode of House M.D. in second run syndication on H&I. The
famous opening has different music, a variation on the closing theme
that was almost never heard on network broadcast.

Same thing happened for a while with Bosom Buddies reruns.

music rights would no longer be an issue. That was primarily a problem
with shows from the 1990s and early 2000s. But I guess "House", which
was a 2004 show, was still long ago enough that they hadn't fixed the
music rights contracts yet...

I read that Massive Attack sold the original rights too cheaply, so I

guess they are looking for retroactive payment equivalents if the rights
were renewed.
With this in mind, can someone please explain to me why series composers
aren't hired these days, since original music is cheaper than existing
music?

Or somebody got cheap. Or somebody wrote a custom contract.

I’ve had clients do that more than once. One was a show for discovery
channel where they wrote the name of the show into the contract something
along the lines of
“model to be used in animation for show titled THE IAN COMEDY HOUR“
Which was the pilot for a series which got sold but they changed the title
to THE IAN COMEDY EXPERIENCE.
Add suddenly they had a problem.
Even though I gave them a waiver any time they asked for it for problems
like that the company owner who was a drug addled madman just kept getting
madder and madder. First he announced he was going to just start cheating
me but thought better of it when his employees complained. Then he decided
to hire a Canadian company for three times what he had paid me to replicate
the work but they weren’t actually up to it. He ignored all suggestions to
just offer me a buyout insisting he wasn’t going to give me another dime no
matter how much it cost him. Finally in a hissy fit he fired his
accountant who had written the contract in the first place.
And then he left the country and moved to Canada because the company that
couldn’t do the work was offering cocaine and whores, an offer I decided
not to match.

music on a DVD set then to just pay again for the original given that
you’re not only dealing with the music costs but all the labor involved in
the remastering‘s. My best guess is that somebody just gets greedy.
Probably an agent and the talent never even hears about it until it’s too
late.
I would guess that a big problem with series composers is that the pilot is
done under separate contracts and they don’t want to pay you enough to be
able to hold you over for the series if it sells and have to charge that to
the pilot.

The one good related issue I've noticed is
that reruns of "The Closer" no longer have
that annoying as hell cellular company ring
tone when the characters get a call.
(spoiler: T-Mobile]
My guess is this was a product placement deal,
and the original company only paid X dollars
for it, with the distibuter now saying "ok,
that's all, folks".
On the other hand, all those Marlboro ads
in the original Superman movie are still
glaringly obvious.
