Dammit! I knew I shouldn't have posted that stuff. Sorry. :frowning:
But this reminds me of something that does tick me off a bit re. MTM.....
On several of the episodes of MTM put out on VHS by "New Video Group" in 1997, "fake" typewriter sounds have been added into all the various WJM Newsroom scenes for some of the episodes (can't recall which ones at the moment). Plus: the office scenes also, in addition to the ridiculous clanking of typewriters you never see on camera, are replete with constantly-ringing telephones. This is just plain silly -- and totally eliminates the homey, small-station atmosphere of the WJM office scenes on those VHS versions of those episodes.
I certainly am hoping that when those particular eps. arrive on DVD (knock-wood), that the DVD transfer doesn't have those unnecessary ambient sound effects on the discs.
