I recall The Colbys being reasonable video quality. Much like Dynasty which looks a lot better than Dallas on DVD.
But surely now that Dynasty has got the HD treatment The Colbys is likely to as well?
yes they are there but don't know because I haven't purchased them because I don't like them lolAre the movies there too? And if so, are they in HD?
We can only hope! I think eventually it will to be honest but it might take a little time. But slowly but surely I’m hoping we get everything remastered.
I’m not sure why I feel this way but I’m actually looking forward to seeing the dream season in HD. Perhaps the thought of seeing Angelica’s flamboyant wardrobe in high def is too much to pass up?
I agree. I think a revival is long overdue as well!
It actually looks really striking ... the art direction for that season is very colourful and its beautiful in HD
Wasn't that year's AD work of the guy who designed the Star Trek spaceship Enterprise? I loved the look of the dream season.
I’m sure it is. One of my favorite things about that season was the colorful and fancy look. It was very different than what we were used to seeing on Dallas yet I thought it was a nice change to have a different look for awhile.
Everything in the early episodes was either blue or acid yellow. So late 80s though!
I always thought that was deliberate on the part of the music editor as a way of extending the theme ... it was dumb, yes, but also fairly common practice at the time as a way of creating 'variation' within the music; eg you must have noticed on the first season of Dynasty there is a whole chunk of the main theme missing from the music, as if a track has been left out deliberately@Garry Do you know if this time they managed the theme tune for season 13 in Stereo as it was supposed to be? Because up until now, some episodes of that season featured only the left-channel-version with the violins in the foreground and others with the drums in the forground and the violins barely noticable, which is actually supposed to be on the right channel for the whole season.
If they did it correct this time, there will be as well a great effect right at the start when "DALLAS" fades in, as that "swooooush" actually goes from left to the right and is a nice stereo-effect and the theme sounds really great in Stereo! Hope they didn't mess it up again...
Your guess is as good as mine. This mistake has already been done on season ten and by the looks of it it's been done on season eleven too.
Whoever is doing the remastering obviously hasn't checked the original episodes to ensure they keep the show as it was. A shame.
I can live with these minor font issues as long as the main action looks good. I'm thankful Warner Bros decided to spend $$$ on the HD restoration. The other option is nothing.
Yes, the actual restoration of the images is great. But it really looks so unprofessional for a company the size of Warners to make such obvious mistakes.
But surely the attraction of the blu-rays is to be able to watch the show itself in glorious HD? Who cares about a few minor blips in the credits that probably only a hardcore fan would notice?Right, thanks for that.
I'm not going to waste my money on buying the Blu-ray's now.
Well, it's probably true that only hardcore fans will notice or care.What a ruddy nuisance I was really looking forward to getting the Blu-ray release of the remastered episodes.
Now that's been tainted because Warner's had someone in charge of the graphical remastering of the opening and closing credits who obviously didn't know what they were doing.
I am not amused.
Could you send some examples of these clumsy manipulations, if possible? Seeing the differences might be helpful for many of us.
