Oh, man. You had to go and raise my optimism, didn't you? YOU MONSTER! ;)

It would have to be, since there isn't an HD transfer, sadly.

The fact of the matter is that, if a studio doesn't almost know 100% that they can make their money back on a title, they aren't going to spend the money to restore it. Physical media sales are a fraction of what they were at their height and the only people who care about older films are older...

It sounds like it used the same transfer as the TCM showing, which at least means it looks a lot better than the older, US laserdisc. Considering there isn't really a good capture of the TCM showing "accessible" online, it's probably the best one can hope for, given that it doesn't look like it...

With it being a DiscoVision title, it's probably rotted anyway. The latest scuttlebutt from "insiders" is that Let It Be is being prepped for 2020, but we've heard similar rumors before that haven't come to pass.

I bid on it, but it's over $50 at this point and I want to stay married. Hope someone here gets it!

Because the aspect ratio is reeeeallly wide, there's a decent amount of space above and below the image where the subtitles can fit. The big problem with ultra-widescreen films on Laserdisc is that they are letterboxed into a 4:3 image, so detail is pretty lacking. There are some Laserdiscs...

Unfortunately, with Laserdisc being an analog video format, the subtitles are normally part of the image itself, rather than a separate file that is digitally superimposed. There isn't a way to get rid of them, save for digitizing the video and either cropping or masking.

Sadly, it doesn't turn up very often. There's one on LDDB.com for sale, but they want over $100 for it. I'd love to have a copy, but not for that kind of money.

I've given up on ever seeing Grimm in anything higher quality than the laserdisc. TCM has aired a transfer that, from what I understand, is marginally better than the LD, but any captures I've seen of it were compressed so badly that it wasn't worth watching. I finally bought a copy of the LD...
