[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 303439, member: 23"] Regarding the missing heads, the Blu-ray of [I]Friends[/I] might give us an idea what to expect, since that's another WB property. [URL='https://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/56798/friends-the-complete-series-collection/']This article[/URL] discusses some of the potential pitfalls: This suggests that if [I]Dallas[/I] is upgraded to widescreen from the original film elements, WB is likely to crop it to make sure we don't see crew members in shorts or the edge of a set. Whatever the case, there'll probably be complaints that it's not authentic to the original airing (though personally I feel quite excited at watching Dallas in High Definition AND widescreen). Incidentally, the [I]Friends[/I] review also mentions previously-available extended episodes: I'm not sure how this would work with scenes mentioned earlier in the thread that were cut out of certain [I]Dallas[/I] airings. Much as I'd love that I'm keeping really low expectations around it. My feeling is that the high definition will be the selling point and I wouldn't expect much beyond those extras already available (if that).
