Like you, I've seen some amazing colorization work. Even though I own a few colorized films and TV shows I rarely watch the colorized versions preferring the original B/W.Ron1973 said:I've figured on ILL for a while and I really wouldn't be shocked to see TAGS go Blu. I also wouldn't be TOO shocked to see Perry Mason go Blu-Ray.
As for colorization, I'm 50/50 on that. I've seen some awesome work on some of The Three Stooges shorts. If I were watching it as a new fan, I wouldn't know it was originally in b&w. It's A Wonderful Life was awesome colorized as well. On the other hand, I bought IDOJ's 1st season in color and it didn't look right. I haven't watched Bewitched colorized to know what it's like but I may wind up springing for the complete series soon, so maybe I'll find out.
Bewitched is not one of those amazing colorization work products. I purchased the colorized versions of S1 & S2 because I felt that if I didn't like the colorization work I could always turn the color off and watch in B/W. It turned out I *didn't* care for the colorization. Like IDOJ (which I also purchased colorized) it just doesn't "look right". The bad part is that it's a bit of a nuisance to turn off the color just for those 3 seasons so I plan to re-purchase the B/W versions at some point and gift the colorized ones.
