Agree. Dolby Pro Logic can do some nice things with simulated surround
effects from stereo sources, but having surround-sound gear for stereo
sources (such as FM, VHS, CDs, TV, etc.) is hardly mandatory.

Although not as common anymore because SRS Circle Surround licensing is
cheaper (i.e., SRS basically gives it away), there were a *lot* of TV
shows in the 90s that were Dolby Surround encoded.

It's not mandatory to have the surround gear to listen to it, but then
it's not mandatory to have surround gear to listen to Dolby Surround
encoded VHS or DVD.
