On the subject of old show pic quality, seems like a lot of 70s and 80s shows look absolutely horrible they with the process they used to videotape them. The show "Soap" comes to mind. Lots of shows from then that were on ABC and videotaped in particular. Real blurry and fuzzy. Maybe they always looked like that, or it's just lousy copies that they showed in reruns I remember.
I'm sure those old Lucy shows looked great before the color film faded into just different shades of brown and yellow and dark red. For those cheap tapes they are not going to spend a ton of $ restoring the color.
All in the Family probably suffered a lot because of the constant old 70's living room set it was shot in, everything darn in that house was brown.
One modern show that is always good for showing off color is Everybody Loves Raymond - the mom is ALWAYS wearing some flowery, color-saturated outfit.
On the topic of putting the Star Trek 35mm films into DVD form - do they still HAVE the film and what condition is it in? Negatives too? Just wondering if maybe by now the only thing left is tons of different generations of the tape transfers....Frenchy
