    My gosh I LOVED this show back in the day! Whew, these promos really bring it all back. I know younger people will laugh at the cheesiness but as a kid back then it never bothered me, I was totally into it! Kind of like the early 80s wrestling, Dukes of Hazzard & A-Team. It was all just good, decent fun & I'm SO glad I got to experience it all as a kid back then. Such wonderful memories!

    Love how they refer to the feature-length episodes as 2-hour movies or premieres. Makes them feel more like special events in their 2-hour formats and should be viewed this way. The syndicated 2-part versions make them feel less of a big deal. Not to mention the cuts they made to various scenes.

      Video tapes also Degrade over time, it's said that they had about a thirty year storage life, Resolution would noticeably suffer as well as losing some of the Magnetic material from repeat plays,, on top of today's higher resolution potential to expose the limitations of the predecessor. The old CRT TV sets only had 500 lines of signal to make a picture, unlike the 4K or 1080P sets of today. Just saying.

    • @morganrussman
      @morganrussman Рік тому

      @johnwilliam384 if the producer's used tape all through production, then likely the modern day DVD reproduction/remaster wouldn't look as good these days. Edit: so, often times they'll use film. if you go watch technology connections film the reason why some of the past was in hd video, you'd get partly what I mean.
