Question about the DVD's you purchased before you had a Flat Screen TV - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The DVD's that you watched 8 or 9 years ago when you didn't have a flat screen TV mean you should watch those DVD's all over again?-lol

I thought about watching some over again because when I watched them the first time I had a 20 inch TV but now I have a bigger TV which is flat screen and I thinking will I see things on the flat screen that I didn't see on the 20 inch regular TV??

If you bothered to purchase them to begin with then I think you would want to watch them again regardless of TV size/shape. It's true though, I had movies on VHS that I replaced with DVDs, and there are some things at the edge of the frames that I hadn't been able to see before.

You do see more on a flat screen. On Mister Ed, you can see in many sequences the nylon string being used to prompt the horse to "talk" as well as the seams in the astro-turf lawn in front of the barn. On The Flying Nun, the wires used to make Sally Field "fly" are much more prominent. On The Patty Duke Show, you can see makeup barely concealing a cold sore on Patty's lip. All this was not as noticable on the old tube-type tv sets, and especially when the shows were first broadcast, given the unstable picture quality of the time.
