I want to see my shows as they originally aired. Intros and closing credits as well. Yes, the actual episode is obviously the main piece, but all of these other things helped set the tone. It's fun to see how things naturally progressed, I suppose? A time capsule? It's sad to think that some of the intros of certain shows haven't been right since their early syndication packages, yet; then the episodes were chopped up for TV. Once a lot of these shows got to DVD, the intros were messed with, sometimes not even the right intro or theme for the season; music rights for songs during the episodes. Look at "Happy Days" for instance. The best of that show in my opinion was the first two seasons, and once on DVD, the 2nd season didn't even use the original "Rock Around The Clock" intro. Hardly any of the original music was used in the episodes. This stuff wasn't the case for Dallas, though. I think the DVDs were pretty accurate for how the episodes originally aired here in the states, correct? I mean, obviously Dallas didn't feature many actual songs during the episodes, but I mean everything else was pretty much as it aired? This bothers me about the HD restoration. I'm grateful for the chance to see it, but at the same time, no trailers or recaps? I just don't see why it would have been so hard to get everything right. At the same time, maybe I'm in the minority. Most people might just be happy to have the shows at all, or are more concerned with visual and sound quality. I think it's cool to see it in HD, but I'll probably just check out some of the seasons/episodes on streaming, and stick with the DVDs for Dallas.</p></blockquote><p></p>
