[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 258376, member: 23"] Wow. That's scary. I didn't even know such a thing existed I somehow ended up with a Steve Austin doll which had a bionic eye that you could look through by holding the back of his head to your eye. It had a kind of bionic foreskin on his arm which you could retract and see the bionics underneath. Ha ha. I can understand how contemporary production values could spoil watching older shows, and I feel fortunate not to have been affected this way. The things you describe that you dislike are actually the things I love about these shows. I find them very comforting. The glacial pacing has actually really impressed me this time round in that I've been very appreciative of how long some of the scenes have been, and how dialogue-heavy. That feels very confident to me, as I imagine very few contemporary shows would allow a scene of dialogue between two people to run for five minutes or longer for fear of the audience losing attention and... well, shaking their remote control, I suppose. ;) [/QUOTE]
