? I don't know if you were talking in general to this Bd or to myself. You posts, to me, are often possibly misunderstood as to motive. Regardless, here's some info about myself pertaining to what I assume was your reply to my previous post.
I'm a 'Boomer that was also raised in a 1-TV house with a B/W Zenith Rabbit-Ears set. I got my 1st color set in '76. I presenly own a 36" Sony "Wega" set (non-HDMI) with a std non-upconverting DVD Player. I watch std-def DirecTV programming (mostly sports, no current series). I don't insist on pristine prints for a TV/DVD set (ie I'd guess that the Combat! set is not pristine by most members' anyone's measuing sticks here. You posted to that effect recently in a reply to one of my posts on another thread).
I love the old shows as you do but I have about 5% (maybe less
) of TV series history knowlege as you do. I have a different "line" as to what is an acceptable-viewing DVD set but I'm not the collector that you and some others here are. For example. I read your post on the R66 thread about the 5-min cut episode. I'd prefer that to the print qualiy of the S1V1 set but I respect your take on it.
As for the Timeless & Alpha & PD sets, I think it's great that those who collect them have them available to them. I choose to pass on most of those sets due to the print quality but that's just my decision. It doesn't take away any
's when I see that Bob, Gary, Mike, yourself and others here see one of your "want" shows released by those companies.
