Sure it was not pristine as Voyage but neither was it as grainy as "Lost In Space". If you own a blue-ray machine it looks even better. Nice treat while we are waiting for our 13 episodes. I think that Warners unlike Fox saw the value of puting this title out.
The title yes pricey 26 bucks that is with UPS shiping. I am very glad I got it. Someone mention early in the thread the Time Tunnel itself was in Pacfica Control. I of course saw the quipment the ribs of the tunnel I thought I saw. I also thought I saw Seaview in the frame first showing the city in the background.
I know there are a lot of people waiting for Warner tv shows to be released and it looks like that may happen to. I also spoke to them and they mentioned Video on demand and all titles from Archive are 19.95. The UPS charge is what makes it cost more. I wish Fox and all the rest will follow this policy. I want Voyage though restored and nothing less. It just would be a tragedy to get the last 13 any other way. The united voice though that we give them and set by the guide lines that Joel gave us is most certainly the way to go. Get City Beneath the Sea if you can afford the cost and see Irwin Allens last venture in network tv.

I received my copy of CITY BENEATH THE SEA yesterday, along with the two Roddenberry pilots of GENESIS II and PLANET EARTH. The two Roddenberry flicks are presented in their original TV ratios of 1.33:1, but CITY is in a Widescreen 1.78:1. I'm guessing that this movie was released theatrically elsewhere and was filmed in a matted process, so the when presented on the older sqaure TV screens, we saw more top and bottom, but in the theatres and now widescreen televisions, we get to appreciate the widescreen image.
Generally, the film looks presentable, with areas of dirt and occasional brief print damage on view, but the colors look natural, the image relatively sharp, and the audio seems fine.
If you're looking for the remnants of the old TIME TUNNEL, look no further than the giant oval portals looking out on Pacifica.
