Message: <blockquote data-quote="TJP" data-source="post: 362841" data-attributes="member: 5151">The issues with the mix-up of the background picture on the end credit cards in later seasons and some negligent typos or alignment issues here and there are problematic, indeed, from the standpoint of quality purists.  I think, however, that having the episodes themselves in the best possible quality is the most important thing.What is still bothering me, however, are the upscaled main titles from the Ediflex years since  — unlike the closing credits —  Lorimar's main titles were artistically elaborate and oftentimes ahead of the time.  Most other TV shows simply featured a series of short clips from various scenes with superimposed credits.  Lorimar, in contrast, combined many pictures and graphic elements for each title card, so this form of art definitely should have been honored more in the remastering.  In the upscaling process, they even cropped the picture a bit, obviously to eliminate the typical video flickering on the borders, which resulted in a loss of visible picture frame, which is sad.Also, it's irritating that the teasers (depending on the season featuring a recap and a sneak preview) were apparently not remastered  —  or at least not provided for the streaming versions.  These segments are oftentimes from different takes in contrast to the actual scenes (like long shots vs. close-ups), and it's a shame if they are lost.I can't remember if "Dallas" ever had a cold opening before the main titles, but if so, it would be a shame if such  a unique scene was lost in the remastering because they didn't care about the teasers.  I still hope the teasers will be included in a Blu-ray release whenever it is put on the market.</blockquote>
