* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Due the series no longer airing on either Creator/VH1 or its sister station [=VH-1=] Classic due to the latter's acquisition by MTV Classic, the series is increasingly difficult to come by and since, understandably, music is used in the episodes, home releases are nonexistent.

** Specifically, certain episodes only aired once or very rarely. These include ones showcasing the year in music and life in general (1970, 1984, 1999, etc.), a film (''Film/{{Flashdance}}'', ''Film/{{Grease}}''), a particular event (Lilith Fair, Woodstock '69, "The Day the Music Died") and a subject (the infamous stalkers episode, "Somebody's Watching").
** The series' less-popular spin-off, ''[=BTM2=]'', is almost unheard-of and also nonexistent.
** Many of the "Remastered" episodes took the place of the original broadcast version, leaving the latter episode hard to come by. Most noticeably, the original August 1997 series premiere of Milli Vanilli is nigh-impossible to find in full due to the updated version seven months later after Rob Pilatus' suicide. There was also a news special that aired in April 1998 that included an interview with Rob's sister that is also scarce.

Resroring the accurate tropes. Also, the Keep Circulating The Tapes example doesn’t apply here; since it wasn't made then it doesn’t count.


* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: An episode featuring Music/TheTemptations was slated to air in March 1999, but it was pulled either because of the miniseries that Creator/{{NBC}} made or due to [[ScrewedByTheLawyers lawsuits]] filed by family members of some of the band members against said miniseries because of various, harmful inaccuracies.

* InMemoriam: Several episodes end with dedications, such as the updated Music/MilliVanilli episode being dedicated to Rob Pilatus and the Music/{{Pantera}} episode being dedicated to Dimebag Darrell and everyone else who died during the 2004 Damageplan shooting.

* DuelingShows: Quite a few:
** There was a strong rivalry between this show and the ''E! True Hollywood Story''. While the latter is still on the air [[ScheduleSlip (more or less)]], this show was seen as being more respectful and less exploitative of its subjects.
** Also, there was this regarding two similar Creator/{{MTV}} series, ''[=BIOrhythm=]'' and ''Driven''. Both shows are considered [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes obscure]] and didn't have either the lasting power or the popularity of ''Behind the Music''.
* InMemoriam: Several episodes end with dedications, such as the updated UpdatedRerelease Music/MilliVanilli episode being dedicated to Rob Pilatus and the Music/{{Pantera}} episode being dedicated to Dimebag Darrell and everyone else who died during the 2004 Damageplan shooting.
