Boy, did those early episodes look great -- they've looked fuzzy and dark for years in local syndication, but there were so clean and bright that it was really amazing.

I also believe that, for the early episodes, they redid the production credits (producers, writers, director) that roll at the beginning of the show, plus the closing credits. A reddish orange font was originally used for those shows, but it looks like they were changed to match the smaller yellow font used from season 3 on.
