I was a fairly undiscerning viewer as a kid, but I distinctly recall noticing the sometimes blatant banding from the 2" quad playback all the time on shows like Laugh-In and others of that era. I also recall noticing at an early age the wild highlight flares that occasionally appeared in the picture, well before I knew what an Image Orthicon was.

My kids may some day fondly recall today's outrageous lipsync issues with apparently asleep-at-the-wheel technicians having moved their lack of ability or concern into the digital domain.
