Original Star Trek Series

[Tron]

You won't regret it, Radar... Since the series was originally shot on 35mm, the resolution is there for HD, and the result is incredible. My eyes were glued to the screen in amazement! Best of all, the Blu-Ray set allows the viewer to watch either the original effects or the newly "Lucasized" versions of the episodes with the updated special effects. So for those who want the original effects as they were seen when the show first aired, that option is still there, unlike on the last DVD releases.

I know that I will appreciate it, heck, I would apreciate watching it on a B&W with bad horizontal hold! Ha Ha! An inside joke.

The original Stark Trek series, Rawhide, Gunsmoke, Bonanza, The Rockford Files, Quncy and a few others are exceptional. The special effects are immaterial, the picture quality is irrelevant... It is the characters that are important. They make the show great! They draw you in so much that you identify them as friends, even though you know they are just actors. They just seem real, becuase they act so natural. They were good!

Yes, Gunsmoke is another favorite of mine. Season 4 volume 1 just came out on DVD...

I like William Shatner, he is a NUT!

He is a NUT. He is also smarter than anyone has a right to be, and funny. Listen to his commentary track on the DVD of Incubus. Some of that deadpan stuff maybe is over my head, but it's still funny.

This 1962 film has its flaws, but Shatner's performance is not one of them:

And so on...

You hit on something there Radar-- you can tell most actors now days are acting--but those you mention it seems like they really are the person they portray.
