Bewitched on Blu-ray? - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The general consensus on the Home Theater Forum (which has some very informative comments) is that the IDOJ Blu Ray looks good only when compared to the old DVDs (which is what I did). And that there is simply some color enhancement here and nothing more. Apparently the HD streaming version of the series looks genuinely HD.

I did notice that Larry Hagman's Air Force uniform is almost slightly purple instead of blue in many shots. Mill Creek did not use HD transfers of the series at all. Some episodes look bright and "clean" while others are still kind of dark and murky.

Hopefully if Bewitched is done it will be a genuine HD release and not the kind of trickery Mill Creek used here.

I read on HTF they overloaded each IDOJ disc with too many episodes. That can ruin any release.
