Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I refuse to buy altered DVDs. I don't care how classic the show was. And, to me, Happy Days was a classic show. It was part of my childhood. I was in my early teens when this great show was broadcast. I've waited for it to appear on DVD ever since. But I WILL NOT BUY DVDs THAT ARE POORLY MADE -- ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE MISSING THE ORIGINAL MUSIC, OR HAVE SLOPPY CUTS TO COVER UP THE LACK OF ORIGINAL MUSIC. I don't understand how anyone could buy ANY DVD set that lacks the original music and contains sloppy cuts to cover the fact. I didn't buy WKRP In Cincinnati for that very reason. I had it in my hand. Then I read the back of the box and saw that it didn't contain the original music. I put it back on the shelf. Come on, people! How short-sighted are you to accept trash like this?!?!?!?! Americans complain about the poor quality of merchandise available in our country (Asian imports cost less because they're made less well. Duh!), but here we have a chance to fight the problem simply by doing nothing. That's right -- nothing. Don't buy the product. You'll save $30-$40, you'll retain your self respect, and the studios that released the garbage will be out tens of thousands of dollars. It's a win-win situation. The more we accept shoddy merchandise, the more studios will continue to force it on us. Don't you people realize that? Don't you see what's happening here? If everyone refused to buy Happy Days, the studio would lose money on this release. They'd have a choice then. If they want to MAKE money on the release, they go back and do it right. And they do it the right way for all future releases. The flip side is true as well. If we buy this garbage now, they'll continue to release DVD sets like this in the future. It's all about the bottom line, people! Miami Vice is an example of a DVD series done the right way. Those episodes are intact, all the music is there, and believe me it makes a difference. Some of the music in those scenes has stuck with me -- connected to those scenes! -- since the day they were broadcast 20 years ago. I applaud the Miami Vice DVDs. They were done right. I abhor the Happy Days DVD releases and I am ashamed of those who bought them for purely selfish reasons instead of considering the bigger picture.
