Terrible DVD set...

I was going through my old tapes a few months ago, and came across my VHS copies of Dracula the Series. The show still has charm and has aged well. However, I wanted a better quality commercial free version. So I was happy to discover that that there was a DVD release of the show.

I ordered the DVD set, and to my dismay the transfer is terrible. Now I was watching this on a 1080p 46 inch LED Samsung TV and it is not like the show was shot in HD or anything. However, my Blu-Ray player up-converts all SD DVD's to a higher quality. Hell some of my up converted regular DVD's look almost as good as Blu-Ray. For example, the up-converted version of The Lost Boys looks amazing and almost as good as my Blu-Ray copy. However, even the Blu-Ray player couldn't do anything to help. Hell, the picture quality on my VHS tapes looks better. Not to mention the fact that there were no extras at all. I was hoping for a behind the scenes look or maybe a commentary track. Nothing. So while it is nice to have the show commercial free at least, the terrible quality and lack of extras makes it a very disappointing DVD release.
