I got the ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS DVD Box Set from my friend Car on my birthday since she remembered how much I loved that show back in the day…
I've got just about all of the original two seasons episodes on VHS tape dubbed off the TV back when Comedy Central was showing it, but thought it’d be really NEAT to finally have the complete series on DVD, but one thing is puzzling me and in fact bugging me about the DVD set:
For SOME REASON, the awesome theme song "This Wheel's On Fire" has been COMPLETELY cut out of the show and now the credits have been replaced by this instrumental music!!
GADS, that’s REALLY irritating, because the song is SO MUCH part of the show. When the show begins, they have a teaser/setup of the episode, then after a joke, it would go right into the drumroll intro. And more importantly, the END of the show, after the end credits ran, they'd tack on one final scene or joke, and then freeze frame with the refrain of "THIS WHEEL SHALL EXPLODE!!!!" Was always SOOOO Funny!
Instead, now it has laughter and that instrumental track. BOOOOO!
WHA HOPPENED? Did they lose the rights to that song? ARGH!
Anyway, it sucks because even though I've got the DVD, I’m still gonna end end up watching my VHS copies of the show!
