The VEI complete series release of "Cannon" has a lot of negative comments on Amazon from people complaining about the "poor picture quality". I own the set, and I don't understand the griping. Sure, it's not in HD and the shows haven't been restored at all, but the quality is as decent as any rerun you'd see on television. The most positive thing about the set is the episodes being completely uncut, with running times usually around 51 minutes. Highly recommended by me.
Because the moron HD crowd, which watches on their 90 inch TVs, anything that isn't a perfect modern remaster, they don't like. To me it looks fine too, but then again, I lived through shows in syndication in the 70s and early 80s that aired on 16mm from prints which were red as a beet.
