I'm supposed to pick-up a copy for my father-in-law for his birthday, but I've been reading how they couldn't get licenses on the music. Which is sad, because it is an important aspect of the show. Nice contract negotiation on their part, and while you can say that they couldn't have possibly envisioned DVD in 1978, the fact is VHS certainly existed at that time (so did laser disc, for that matter) as did syndication. Pay your license and then be done with it.

It was a great show that seemed to get bigger once it was in syndication.

Nice size crowd for the sing along thing on the square, nice weather for it too.
