Timeless released Laramie on DVD. They used older prints that they were able to locate. They were likely way before the new HD masters were even created.
I checked out some seasons of Wagon Train on STARZ in the past 12 months, they weren't stretched, at least at the time I watched. There are some missing some episodes, especially in season 4. I'm guessing when Ward Bond was ill since they are mainly at the beginning of the season before the...
