[QUOTE="TJP, post: 337466, member: 5151"] The main titles of the mini-series and the first five seasons (misleadingly renamed seasons 1 through 6 by Warner Bros. since they released the show on DVD) were apparently reconstructed from scratch, which seems to have been an incredible job. The German RTL+ streaming service has these seasons online already, so I had the opportunity to have a look at them last week. While the main titles may not be 100 % crystal clear as the episodes themselves, they look nearly as good, let's maybe say 95 or 98 % of the picture quality of the scenes. Also, the fonts were selected carefully and correctly, both in shape and size, and the superimposed lettering was apparently positioned exactly where it used to be in the original version. I wonder how many hours they had to spend on each title card. Even though I'm a very critical viewer and quality purist with an eye for the original, I could not see any difference, at least not yet. The main title segments look really fabulous. (I wonder, however, if this will work equally well with shows like "Falcon Crest" and "Knots Landing", which have much more complicated main title sequences, just considering the falcon coat of arms and the swirl effect in the later seasons of "Falcon" and the difficult montage of visuals of the cul-de-sac in the early "Knots" seasons or their later colorful photo frames.) Sorry I can't show you any "Dallas" main title screen grabs since taking screen shots is deactivated by the streaming service. I couldn't find any way to circumvent this for illustration purposes. I'm astonished that the "Dallas" remastering has not been publicized and advertised by WB since it's actually a milestone in the more current history of the show. [/QUOTE]
