Rights Issues
The series was originally overseen and distributed by MCA/Universal. However, because of the other corporate production entities involved (particularly with Lynn Redgrave and James Michener, as well as the executive producers), most distribution and underlying rights went outside the parameters of MCA/Universal. Television syndication rights were licensed to Turner Program Services (now Warner Bros. Television, the successor-in-interest that continues to syndicate the series today). However, Universal Studios Home Entertainment did acquire the home video rights and in 2008 released the series on DVD. There are no current plans to release it on Blu-ray or reissue it to U.S. television.

Famous quotes containing the words rights and/or issues:
“The aim of every political association is the preservation of the natural and imprescriptible rights of man. These rights are liberty, property, security and resistance to oppression.”
—French National Assembly. Declaration of the Rights of Man (drafted and discussed August 1789, published September 1791)
“How to attain sufficient clarity of thought to meet the terrifying issues now facing us, before it is too late, is ... important. Of one thing I feel reasonably sure: we can’t stop to discuss whether the table has or hasn’t legs when the house is burning down over our heads. Nor do the classics per se seem to furnish the kind of education which fits people to cope with a fast-changing civilization.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
