The opening titles bare no resemblance to how the episodes look in terms of picture quality. Strangely enough a lot of Caramico's scenes from Season 8 now look more like Bradford May's style now.

I have to say that at first the idea of Dallas in HD was something I was against. Call me old fashioned but I was afraid that tinkering with it too much would ruin its charm. Well, this thread has convinced me I was wrong.

Fair enough. Just a (perhaps poor) attempt at humor.
I really am surprised that anyone still wants discs though -- and I really didn't know they were still being made until this thread came along.

I don't work in any aspect of the media industry.
Please stop with this ridiculous idea that there's some conspiracy to force people to pay for streaming every month instead of buying a DVD set once. No-one put a gun to anyone's head and forced them to choose streaming over discs, any more than they forced anyone to pick cars over horses or computers over typewriters.
They simply offered people streaming, and most people chose it because to most people it's better.
Then they gradually stopped releasing a lot of things on discs because demand for them was decreasing and demand for streaming was increasing.
And, as I addressed earlier, the conspiracy logic makes no sense: yes, streaming is more expensive in the long-run for any one particular show -- but it's an order of magnitude cheaper for the consumer when you look at the totality of what you get with a monthly streaming subscription vs. what it would cost to buy all of that on DVDs.
Plus a streaming video can't get lost or damaged or stolen, doesn't take up space on a shelf, doesn't have to be loaded into a player, doesn't require you to buy a player, doesn't have to be packed up if you move, etc.
All of this is why most people have chosen streaming.

I'm all for streaming...as long as my favourite series of all time - Dallas - is made available for this Aussie too watch. Perhaps @garry may have inside knowledge if Warner Bros intend to make this available to Amazon Prime, Disney+, Netflix, AppleTV or HBO. My worry is HBO is not available in Australia - legally - so my only recourse is to live in hope Warner Bros decide to release Dallas on Blu-Ray...my preferred option.

You're right, of course. Almost all high street stores have stopped selling DVD and BluRay players because there is no demand for them. DVD and BluRay sales have continued to nosedive. These days most people consume full HD video via streaming services not by hard disks.
This whole discussion is reminiscent of those from 20 years ago when die hard VHS fans didn't want to accept that video tape was being phased out. It's only a matter of time until the major studios stop releasing their titles on hard disks and it's why so many of them have their own streaming services already.

And that's what bothers me.
Right now, we subscribe to Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Disney Plus, PBS Streaming, Discovery, and HBOMAX (recently added for House of the Dragon). With every network going to it's own streaming platform, I worry we are going to have to subscribe to six or seven more just to have access to content wanted by all members of our family. Getting very expensive to stream.
That's primarily why I occasionally still buy DVDS.

There will be consolidation in the market at some point. It's not viable for so many platforms to be in existence not making profits. Hulu and Disney will surely merge at some point and HBO Max and Discovery will become a single platform. I also see Netflix being taken over by one of the other companies in the future.

You're probably right. But for now, it's hard on the wallet!

Dallas is on Amazon Prime if you just buy the standard subscription.
It is possible Prime may get the HD Dallas in the future and hopefully it won't be any extra. Fingers crossed.

The problem with the free version on Prime is commercials! I am so spoiled that commercials drive me INSANE.Dallas is on Amazon Prime if you just buy the standard subscription.
It is possible Prime may get the HD Dallas in the future and hopefully it won't be any extra. Fingers crossed.

There will be consolidation just like there always has been with every money maker ever invented. It's already started.
Hulu and Disney Plus will merge sooner or later (anywhere but the US there never was a Hulu and Disney Plus includes (most) Hulu stuff in its Star section.
Netflix and Prime will likely stay as they are but I don't consider Prime a subscription servicer. It comes with our Amazon Prime account which we would have anyway.
Discovery and HBO Max will merge in the next 18 months or so.
PBS I think is free?
Peacock is super cheap (free if you use a Comcast service).
In the end we are probably looking at Netflix, Prime, Disney, New WB/Discovery service, Peacock and Paramount+. Even if each one is $15, you are still miles away from what your cable bill would be.
With Pluto, Tubi and Freevee there's also plenty of free stuff.

Can I just say season 10 was not only the most anticipated season from over 30 years ago (was Bobby back? WTF) but it’s now the most anticipated of the 21st century. What will the picture quality look like?!!!

Personally, I can't wait to see it.
I can remember watching season ten on its original transmission and that Wes Parmalee Jock Ewing storyline blew me away. Such a shame about the lame ending though. The rest of the season doesn't disappoint, however.
The picture quality was awful on BBC1, in the outdoors it looked as if it was raining whilst indoors the grainy picture looked very washed out with very little definition and sharpness.
I have high hopes for the remastering of this season as it was a turning point in the show's history. Not just for Bobby's return but for the possible return of Jock too.
It's very much a marmite season, you either love it or hate it. I love it & can't wait to see it all cleaned up and looking as pristine as the other seasons. God Bless Warner Bros. for lavishing the attention on the show to help give it a whole new audience whilst us fan's get to enjoy it in glorious HD. :bl2:

Kindle didn't replace books -- in fact, hard copy book sales are up. DVDs, or some equivalent, will likely make a comeback, but how long is anybody's guess.
