One amazing exception is "Cheers", where the DVDs are sourced from HD
telecines of the original film re-edited to as closely match the final tape
episode as they could manage.
Yes, that's incredibly expensive, but it hasn't show up in the DVD pricing,

I know HDNet has a deal with Paramount, and I'm waiting for "Cheers" to show
up there.
