It's a bummer that the show will never play with original music on some streaming service due to (as I understand it) music licensing problems.

Northern Exposure had similar problems but, as I understand it, at least some was resolved for the (somewhat relatively) recent DVD box set release.

It just wasn't an issue that was seriously considered by a lot of studios(?) at the time and it's not like back catalog TV shows are usually these big money-makers that warrant a lot of time and cost to get in order.

The solution there is to not bother with "streaming services" and just download the readily available alternative captures, which include the original music.

There's a DVD box set that has almost all of the original music!
