Anyone remember The Drew Carey Show or Third Watch?

Two awesome shows from the late 90s, that leaked into the early 2000s.

One about a much chubbier Drew Carey, who worked the daunting 9 to 5 workday. The Drew Carey Show was almost an exaggerated version of The Office on NBC.

The other about a group of police officers, firefighters and paramedics from New York City. This show wasn't about any special crimes, or exaggerated emergency situations. It just followed these fictional first responders around the city as they dealt with various incidents that emergency workers face. It was great, because it was almost real.

These shows have two things in common, besides being great, both had amazing soundtracks, which brings us to the second commonality. You can't get the full series of either on DVD, Blu-Ray, or streaming because of music rights.

You can get the first season of the Drew Carey Show on all of the above, and the first few seasons of Third Watch; but you will find yourself disappointed when you stop on a cliffhanger season finale, only to find you can't go further.

Anybody else run into this problem with other shows?
