A few notes on Season 10 : This season was remastered using A.I. HD technology, where the image was scanned from the original master video and not from the film element. The results are still impressive but a few scenes are a little on the dark side and a few of the skin tones are a little over saturated with a yellow/orange tint. This is as good as these episodes are ever going to look.

The opening titles are only upscaled, with new text credits added. The closing credits have been re-made with new text. The image is still very detailed as you can see with the photo of Pamela Ewing below.

I love the smoothness of the picture combined with the sharpness of the lines and other details. It looks so much better than the current DVD. I said earlier I wasn't sure I'd repurchase the series since my DVDs are all in great condition and it was an investment to begin with but my goodness these screenshots are making it tempting.

Thanks to Garry for the pics!

However, I must say that those new titles look photoshopped, and the three-columns don´t look too good either. At least it seems they have corrected the deformed images that made the heads hyper-long (poor Donna and her bouffant!).

I've just noticed that the closing credits are using the wrong picture of Southfork which was used on the earlier seasons (and the final season).

I'm fairly sure the picture of Southfork used on season ten had the ranch fully in the middle and not offset to the side like the one shown.

Why was this changed? :)

I've just checked my copy of Dallas season ten and the image of Southfork shown on the Hunter Von Leer closing credit @Gary Ghoul is the wrong one. The ranch is fully in the middle of the screen and not the offset one shown.

So erm, why has this been changed then? :)

As a purist I wish they were going back to the original film elements for those later, shot-on-film-but-edited-on-video seasons. But I can understand why they wouldn’t go to that expense. For many of te US TV series edited on video in the 80s and 90s, AI will be the technique to get them to HD, not reconstructing from the original film elements. The latter is just too expensive.
