Message: <blockquote data-quote="Snarky Oracle!" data-source="post: 338207" data-attributes="member: 57984">As former sitemember @alpaige explained it, the shows were still technically shot on 35mm film, but to avoid the traditional lab work expenses, the film pieces were dubbed down to 1 inch video on a new computerized process, and -- he thought -- those film pieces thrown away.The old-timers in the lab couldn't believe that the shows were being broadcast that way (and neither could the viewers) but the bean counters foolishly thought the devolution in quality was worth the savings.It sounds like, perhaps, those film pieces may have been preserved, which is how they can now make (hopefully) pristine prints of S10 thru S13, but [USER=250]@garry[/USER] can probably explain that detail.</blockquote>
