was thinking about this considering that Star Trek Season three is out next week, i think my biggest concern would be these six ep (borrowed from wiki)
Episode notes
By November 1960, The Twilight Zone's second season had already broadcast five episodes and finished filming sixteen. However, at a cost of about $65,000 per episode, the show was exceeding its budget. As a result, six consecutive episodes were videotaped, eventually transferred to 16-millimeter film for future syndicated rebroadcasts. Total savings on editing and cinematography costs amounted to only about $30,000 for all six entries—not enough to justify the loss of depth of visual perspective, which made the shows look like stagebound live TV dramas, or even soap operas. The experiment was therefore deemed a failure and never attempted again.
Even though the six shows were recorded in a row, through November and into mid-December, their broadcast dates were out of order and varied widely, with this, the fourth one, shown on December 23, 1960 as episode 11. The first, "The Lateness of the Hour", was seen on December 2, 1960 as episode 8; The second, "Static" was shown on March 10, 1961 as episode 20; the third, "The Whole Truth", appeared on January 20, 1961 as episode 14; the fifth, "Twenty Two" was seen on February 10, 1961 as episode 17; and the last one, "Long Distance Call" was transmitted on March 31, 1961 as episode 22.
"The Night of The Meek" is also notable for being the only one of the six videotaped shows whose syndication master is drawn from a 16mm Kinescope instead of the original tape (which does exist).
now some have mentioned the continued Treks Next Gen and so on, well this would be working with the video tape on some of these, this is where i think CBS Digital could play the biggest part.
