 Member since: 6/30/2011 | | RE: Malcolm in the Middle | | I love this show, in my opinion its one of the best sitcoms that fox came out with. the first season was released way back in 2002 and season 2 just never arrived. Is there any possibility that shout could acquire this, could the music issue be looked into if it could be worked out or replaced? Even with minor musical edits, Im sure people would still get this title. I know I would. |

 Member since: 7/20/2011 | | RE: Malcolm in the Middle | | As much as I would like to own the entire series of Malcolm, I wouldn't want the original music scores replaced. I have bought numerous DVDs where key musical numbers or characters alluding to songs are missing, and therefore the series is jarring to watch. Plus, the longer the series isn't released, the more fans can hope for complete episodes one day surfacing to DVD. Music changes are one reason I refuse to buy Married... with Children on DVD; the theme song has been hideously replaced, and if that's not bad enough, tag scenes are missing to blend with the new score. I'm not trying to be petty, but isn't the point of DVDs to preserve the original telecasts and to treat fans to uncut episodes not available in syndication? |
