I've recently gotten sets of both BARNEY MILLER and THE LARRY SANDERS SHOW, and while I love both shows, I feel the video quality on these DVD sets leave alot to be desired. Is it me, or has anyone else noticed this too? LARRY SANDERS looks good when the episode is in the FILM portion of the show, however, when it goes to VIDEO, the DVD looks very grainy, with alot of artifacts. BARNEY MILLER, while being an older show done on video, looks very washed in some episodes. Yes, I understand it's an older show, however, it's apparent to me that the syndication prints look much better than the prints used for the DVD sets. I wonder how the studios decide which prints will be used to master these shows? I'm also wondering what kind of quality control Tri-Star has when it comes to their DVD sets. Anyway, I hope they release future seasons of THE LARRY SANDERS SHOW...I've heard sales of season 1 were bad and this is why there is no season 2 coming out. If this is true, then I think Columbia Tri-Star should seriously look into how these shows were mastered, why the quality looks so poor, and their lack of extras, before wondering why sales didn't do well. Maybe future releases can be improved upon.
