Message: <blockquote data-quote="Garry" data-source="post: 91292" data-attributes="member: 250">We enquired about this to WB last year and were told that all the original 35mm prints, including the Season 10-13 film stock still exist in the archives.  It's pretty impossible to upscale seasons 10-13 in their current form, even with todays digital trickery. There simply isn't enough information in the picture signal to make an improvement. You'd just get a mountain of grain.  They could be color corrected for a DVD release but that isn't going to happen.It's ironic as it was an exec at Lorimar who was one of the pioneers of getting the studio to transfer and edit film stock to a video master.  He rather foolishly thought it was the future and was quoted as saying the only high quality 35mm shows viewers would want to watch in future years would be sitcoms.   NBC/Universal were never convinced of the film edited to video transfer process and ended up editing many of their shows on to laserdisc.  This is why we now have pristine copies of shows such as Dynasty and Murder She Wrote in glorious HD.</blockquote>
