The BW episodes are easy to see with the bloom around the candles, etc. Not sure what cams ABC 16 had then. They are also easy to spot because they had no zooms on those cams. Just a lot of dollying the cams up close in 1955 style...way to close. That is all they had and the directors knew how to do it. The color episodes...GE cams maybe...had zooms and you can see the difference in the production with a little help from the zoom. The color from the cams is not TK in my opinion. Not as rich or cartoonish but very accurate. Lime green outfits look lime green. The show is too dark for bright colors.

This last Saturday started with color episodes...with a few subbed with BW kines for missing tapes. Then they went back to the early Barnabas intro episodes in BW for the remainder of the air slot as in the previous weekend.

Lip sync is great on my off-air recordings. These sub channels seem to be an internet stream to the local station with all the latency issues abounding. Any sync issue would seem to be local at the station or the xfer to your local cable or that your Vizionitronics-brand-Walgreen-Halloween-special-bargain-720d set you bought with a Snappy stillframe processor might induce

Apparently GetTV is trying to keep up with Antenna TV and is adding the Merv Griffin show to their schedule.

The Merv Griffin Show was where he sang the song "I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts" song which was used in the Lion King and several other movies.

Wish one of them would resurrect the old Steve Allen Westinghouse-syndicated shows from the early '60s. I used to sneak in to the living room to watch Steve Allen to see what kind of crazy stunt he might pull off, after the old man had shut down and gone to bed.

Tonight, watching some Green Hornet on Decades, and the audio sync appears perfect.
