Any one remember the episode when the trio are in school after hours, for whatever reason, and end up in the boys room. Wendy asks what the urinals are, and Kevin tells her it's a foot wash. :lol:
That was Boy Meets World.

the music licensing thing is really disappointing. i doubt i'll watch it now, honestly.

Haha, I was wondering as I was posting that if I was confusing memories. Haha, either way, funny stuff.

What's it called when you combine different events into one memory? I remember some one telling me there's a term for that, but I can't remember what it is.

Considering The Wonder Years and Boy Meets World starred two real life brothers as the main characters, I can't blame you on that one. Heh.

The Wonder Years is very nostalgic for me. Unfortunately, as many have already stated, the music was a huge part of the series and now that they've altered the episodes with a different soundtrack it's seriously not the same vibe. Because the sitcom has such a strong nostalgia factor tied in with the music the show on Netflix is unwatchable for me.

Why are music licensing issues even a thing? I seriously can't understand why a company would REFUSE to license the music to a show for its DVD release. They have absolutely nothing to lose by granting those licenses and plenty to gain.

I just don't get it.

they won't refuse. It's the fact they want $ for each song. Now think how many big name songs are featured in an entire season.

Same reason why Malcolm in the Middle isn't on DVD. All because some douche bags don't wanna make X amount of DVD sales, they wanna make XXX amount on DVD sales.
That's why!

they could maybe charge a bit less or something? Work out a package deal?

I mean wouldn't it be better to make less money than usual than to make no money at all?

I don't know it just seems silly to me that these sorts of problems actually arise.
