I don't know what people are thinking. I believe we've discussed this in other threads. I've been told that CBS will not spend on dime on transferring or mastering ANY TV shows for a release. Whatever exists in tape form is what you get and if there are no tape elements on something, forget...
I find them annoying but I wouldn't say unwatchable. Its still a good show which has been treated terribly. Who even knows where the masters are at this point for this and Branded.
