RE : About 5 episodes didn't get to be re-enhanced


In watching the series on DVD, I noticed a few glitches in the Pilot
episode and later 4 other shows that just couldnt be recolored and cleaned up.

Most notably S7, Ep11 Dec. 2nd, 1973 - "The Deadly Madonna", which ironically is a show about a lost film and also has a character who has a collection of rare Hollywod films of the 1900s to the 1960s.

It looks so old, it seems like it was filmed in 1965 more than 1973.

Also, "Walk On the Blind Side" 10/13/1974.

Don't get me wrong, I'm very glad they are in good enough condition
to get ion the DVDs and that I can (and now have) seen the series in full.)

The way those few shows look is a reminder to me of what 'syndicated' reruns were
like in the 1970s and 1980s. Faded color, scratchy film and bad sound, all from overuse.

We should be very thankful that close to or just
over 90% of old Tv shows can & have been saved and re-enhanced.

Otherwise, they might have ended up lost for good or just ruined over time.


Go for it or just be a gopher!
