Cole's song was too expensive to keep licensing for release on home
video. A lot of TV series do this when they make it to DVD. It's much
cheaper to license a song for broadcast distribution; once you intend to
put that song on reproduceable media (like DVDs) the music licensing
companies really rake you over the coals.
The producers of Freaks and Geeks were intent on keeping the original
music when their show hit DVD, and a result they had to price 1 short
season set at $120.
