Why does it seem that many of the DVDs of TV shows from the 70's and 80's that have originally aired on ABC-- have better picture quality when compared to the ones from shows that appeared on CBS or NBC (the ones on film--not videotape) ? ---At least at a more consistent rate.
Shows on DVD that appeared on ABC like:
TJ Hooker
Matt Houston
The Fall Guy
Dynasty
Vegas
The Love Boat
Laverne and Shirley
Hart To Hart
Fantasy Island
Taxi
The Greatest American Hero
Charlie's Angels etc.
--Look at the DVD transfers of all these shows compared to the many transfers of shows from NBC and CBS (like the Dallas and Falcon Crest transfers from CBS --or many others from NBC).The ABC shows transfers seem to look better at a more consistent rate. I don't know if they took better care of their shows. I notice that ABC seems to have a better picture quality than CBS and NBC these days. It was probably like that with the shows in the 70's and 80's also. Does any one else see this ?
