What if they put up full episodes of those old SNLs instead of the bastardized cut versions of them?

For years, we were told that the music rights to a show with one of the best and most eclectic soundtracks of all time was the big hold-up to get it to streaming. And the solution appears to have been to remove the great majority of those incredible songs and insert cheaper replacements. I haven’t done an exhaustive search by any means, but I looked for a half-dozen of my favorite Homicide music moments, and found that the only one to survive was Munch listening to Lou Reed’s “Busload of Faith.” And that’s a situation where there was no choice but to pony up for the song, because Richard Belzer sings along to it, so there’s no way to insert something else. It’s a big disappointment that this is the approach that was taken, but also not a surprising one. The Wonder Years had to ditch a lot of its famous soundtrack for streaming, and as recently mentioned, you can’t stream China Beach at all because of the music. Better, I suppose, that people can more easily experience those performances and stories, even if the music was such a huge part of the experience. I once again am thankful I own the DVD box set.
