Its alot brighter. It looks as if its still on Network TV Or something.

AHA! Im not the only one who noticed!! Maybe they shot it on cheap film because they showed mostly flashbacks? LOl.

HDfanLiz · 04-29-2003, 07:26 AM

Yeah, I noticed that too! It's very odd...

animalcrackers · 04-29-2003, 08:47 AM

I noticed it also, it might have been the film

I too was thinking the exact same thing. The quality reminded me of the old kinescopes of live programming used in the 50s.

¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ · 04-29-2003, 02:31 PM

Yah, they also used a lot of different strange angles!

BLT · 04-29-2003, 02:54 PM

One more comment, the film looked like it was sitting lost in someone's damp basement for the last 27 years!

I have to agree! It looks similiar to the bulk of 'Green Acres' reruns. Sad that this appears to have been the best copy available!

I was asking myself the same question. It's obvious that the picture quality is terrible.

*Shelle* · 04-29-2003, 05:06 PM

I wonder if maybe it was a copy? Like perhaps back in 1970-something when it was shot they took what they thought was funny, dubbed it onto videotape, and got rid or, lost, recycled, etc., the film stock that it came from.

I was wondering the same, And notice, in the dark, when anyone moves it makes like, a blury trail or something, odd. Even the clips look that way

I think I'm probably the only one who hasn't seen the 2nd Anniversary Special. When did it air, on what channel and will it ever be aired again?

BLT · 04-30-2003, 09:15 AM

Yes, my thoughts exactly.; It looked like perhaps it was recorded off of ABC int the 70s. In fact during the ending credits I half expected to hear ABC voice overs.
