Any word on whether all the original music will be intact? Some shows have had
to substitute a lot of new music, with disappointing results.

Looks like the original music was licensed with a DVD in mind. From the
studio announcement I received:

"An evocative series set against the memorable, upbeat sounds of the 1960's,
American Dreams depicts a more innocent America, bracing for cultural
turbulence ahead, as seen through the youthful Pryor family. 16-year-old Meg
Pryor (Snow) pursues her dreams of dancing on Dick Clark's "American
Bandstand", allowing the series to showcase performances from today's
hottest music artists appearing as 1960's music icons. All 25 episodes from
the first season, including extended director's cut episodes featuring full
length musical performances from artists like Usher, Ashanti, Kelly Rowland
of Destiny's Child, Michelle Branch, Vanessa Carlton, India.Arie and many
more!"

I hope this helps.

Thanks. I would think current shows are including the possibility of a DVD
release when they originally license the music.
