Read this over at Amazon.com:
'The L.A. Times has reported that all music rights have apparently cleared,
which means that the dvd of this landmark series, unlike Northern Exposure, will
retain the spirit of the original with its original soundtrack intact. Other
pluses are the creation of a new master copy (ensuring excellent visual quality)
and extensive bonus features, including commentary and interviews. Each
subsequent season will be released at six month intervals. All great news for
fans who have patiently awaited this release for almost 20 years.'
