I actually think that "V: The Original Mini Series" and "V: The Final Battle" should be released almost immediately. Others include the Jesse Stone movie series.

I wouldn't mind seeing SD material all on one Blu-ray disc if I don't have a show on DVD and the price was the same as the DVD. However, if I already have a show on DVD, I'm not going to re-buy the show with no upgrade other than it's now on one or two discs instead of six.Originally Posted by mattCR

You could say the same of feature films of a particular age too. Look at all the discussion of the wire holding the tail of the Lion in The Wizard of Oz. (they removed it for the blu-ray) Audiences were much less aware of things like effects or even sets in the studio days. Only in the 70's when the many films started to shoot in real locations, and the level of effects were raised to a very high level did people start to look back and see the "seems" in older films and TV shows.Originally Posted by Mark-P
I like this discussion. I do think old TV shows, even the ones shot on 35mm film, were never really meant to be held up to the scrutiny of 1080P. The filmakers knew that the fake backdrops, wires (Flying Nun?) and such would not be noticed on the low-resolution TVs of the day. It makes sense to use the Blu-ray format for its capacity rather than its resolution specs and package full seasons in 480P on 1 or 2 discs.
While I certainly wouldn't re-buy anything I already own on DVD, I'd love to buy complete seasons of some of my favorite old TV shows on 480P Blu-ray disc that have never been released before.
