''Freaks and Geeks''{{'}} creators made it a priority to feature genuine, period-specific music that would help to create the show's tone. Clearing such names as [[Billy Joel]], [[Cheap Trick]], the [[Grateful Dead]], [[Rush (band)|Rush]], [[Styx (band)|Styx]], [[The Moody Blues]], [[The Who]] and [[Van Halen]] required much of the show's budget. Eventually, this became an obstacle in releasing the show on DVD due to the difficulty and expense of clearing all of the music rights for the series. Music cues were changed or removed for ''Freaks and Geeks'' when it aired in [[rerun]]s on Fox Family. However, ''Freaks and Geeks''{{'}} creators chose to wait to release the DVD until they could find a company willing to pay for the original music. [[Shout! Factory]], a music and video company specializing in comprehensive reissues and compilations, eventually brought ''Freaks and Geeks'' to DVD with all of its music intact.<ref name="dvd">{{cite web|url=http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Freaks-Geeks/976|title=Freaks and Geeks – Official Press Release: April 6 is the day!|work=TVShowsOnDVD|date=January 15, 2004|access-date=August 12, 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100709045710/http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Freaks-Geeks/976|archive-date=July 9, 2010}}</ref>
