I have not seen the season one dvd set but was told they look amazing , however when they did the second season i was told they got cheap and just used the older transfers , not they look bad but the new ones will blow you away... btw i have some 16mm episodes of Bonanza and a couple are on the Eastman LPP color film that is a low fade or no fade color film , the color is outstanding , no reddish look , oh and here is a weird , i have the two part episode that was part of the lost episodes package and CBN refused to show it back when , the film doesn't have lost episodes on the titles , that was video inserted, title escapes me at the moment , it is about the mormons , anyway part 1 is eastman and reddish and getting more red as time goes by but part 2 is the LPP color and looks great , the flaw with that print of part 2 is there is a couple minutes edited out for more commercial time and it was never put back or placed at the end of the reel like some stations would do , so that was a take it as you can get it kind of thing, now if i could only get my hands on the second season Hawaii Five-O episode that was banned and not included in the dvd set , as long as it is watchable i wouldn't care the source , just as long as it doesn't have that multi copied look that gives one the feeling you put a fish bowl in front of the screen and you are viewing it through the bowl..... btw i wanted to add that i don't know what tv land does or how they do it but when they time compress ( speed up ) various shows it dulls up the image a little , takes away resolution , this was like this before it went digital and now being compressed digitaly on cabl it looks even worse.
