I love cold case and still hope it comes back on ion channel. but the reason it's not on dvd is because the music is so expensive now. i really love the relationships between the team and the storylines. the music is great and all but you can make your own for free on spotify. the music problem was the reason why the original 90210 took so long to come out on dvd and they replaced a lot of songs with cheaper ones. my favorite episodes would still be good with different music but am i in the minority with this?

Do what I do.
I actually recorded each episode off TV. They played the original music, so I just taped it, and now have the entire seven seasons on tape.
I plan to convert them to DVD at some stage. I prefer to do it this way, and I don't have a problem with it. I am not buying it off pirates, and there is no official set, so a bit of dedication ( I even cut out the ads)the cost of tapes (but then I save on buying a DVD box set)and a few months, and I did it.
I plan to do it for other series that don't have a box set release (e.g. The Wonder Years), but have to rely on when the TV stations show it next, and be ready and available to record each and every episode.
I buy box sets when available, but with shows like Cold Case, I do this and keep the music intact. It is a bit of work, but it is probably your best bet. -

Eh. The way they integrated music from each specific era was a big part of the show's appeal for me. I probably wouldn't bother watching a version of it without the soundtrack.
Anyone here mentions Hotel California dies before the first line clears his lips. -

I think it depends on the episode. If you took one that featured only one artist or band, I think that those episodes might suffer because part of the episode was also, at least a little bit, about that particular music.
I've been thinking about the music issue quite a bit, because it seems as if there should a way to release
some
of the eps. Perhaps in "best of" packaging. Any ep where the original crime took place before the 1960s should theoretically be much easier to get clearance for. For example, I think that the oldest case was from 1919, surely most of it would be in the public domain now.
