Message: <blockquote data-quote="Snarky Oracle!" data-source="post: 347113" data-attributes="member: 57984">The streaming will offset the corrective costs, one assumes.I'm not sure if you already know this, but when Telepictures bought out Lorimar in 1986, they started slashing costs, so the shows' post-production costs were curtailed by avoiding the more-expensive traditional film lab work by dubbing down the 35mm film pieces to one-inch video prior to editing -- a new, cheapy process that made everything look incredibly bad, as if shot with a video camcorder (as if they were shot on low-grade, low resolution videotape, but were actually still, technically, shot on 35mm film). DALLAS' Season 10 looked awful, but the look improved during Season 11.Believe it or not, the Season 10 DVDs looked five times better than the year did when it was originally broadcast. And now, it's actually going to look genuinely good for the first time!By Season 13 they returned to the old film lab process. I think.</blockquote>
