Wish I had the DVD set so I could check it out(it has been years since
I saw it last).
Nice thing about shows and movies being on DVD is you can freeze frame
clearly, then blowup the image to see all them little things that
flashed by so fast you did not have a chance to see anything
clearly!Especially on a TV broadcast that most likely is using wornout
prints sliced and diced and speeded up in order to jam in more ads!
