I've tried streaming St. Elsewhere & can't find decent prints of S02-on. They all look like VHS rips, and are borderline-unwatchable. I suspect a lot of this is because the show is older, and hasn't been remastered. Obviously the PQ can be significantly better, given how good the S01 DVD...
When St. Elsewhere was on back in the '80's, I was a kid/teen & just wasn't into watching this hospital drama - even though I knew it was critically acclaimed. However, as time has gone by I've gotten more interested in seeing shows that I missed the first time around.
So, I finally saw S01...
