Re: Old And New TV Shows Worth Looking Out For!!

After recording season 2 of Big Bang Theory, I waited ages to record season 1. I ended up buying it on DVD. I still haven't got round to watching the discs yet (have seen the episodes though). Of course this means I have to buy season 2 now too.

I used to watch TJ Hooker and now it is just plain awful

Now, the last time I saw an episode of STINGRAY on Sci-Fi, (about 6-8 months ago), it was digitally-remastered to improve the picture, but the effects were still the same old sting missiles.

I can only assume that it will be the same prints used this time round. However, I may be totally wrong. Sorry, Brian.

I'd much rather have the oricinal. I saw the laser version on Laserdisc many years ago. I assume the VHS copy at that time also had the laser.

They also put out a version of Captain Scarlet with a happy ending.
