Is the color better on the DVD? That laser disc looked like crap; the original NBC aircheck 2" tape is much higher quality than that!

Mastered from the live broadcast, eh?

Wow, they had a time machine? That's dedication!


Sigh, I'll pick the DVD up, gotta be better than the laser.

By the way, kudos to the NBC worker who found the 2" color aircheck tape in the basement of Color City in the late 1980's and decided NOT to toss it in the dumpster..

Hoffy,

My Goodtimes VHS copy of Peter Pan with Mary Martin also is of doubtful quality. I hope this Goodtimes produced DVD is better. For the high price, it should be original master quality. The peacock opening and NBC "snake" closing are a bonus.
