When highdefinition is a BAD thing!

I'm LMAO. As you guys all know by now Universal HD airs alot of old 80's shows in highdef. Some kinda zoomed cropped format I assume since none of these shows ever thought about widescreen. Well the problem with these shows is that what they could get away with back then they can't get away with these days. Was watching Knight Rider (nothing else was on, lol) and at the end Michael and his chick of the week were at one end of a road and Kitt was at the other. Well Mike get's on the "watch" lol, and tells Kitt good job. Next scene Kitt is saying "no problem Michael". Funny thing is though you see the car and nobody in it but suddenly you see a peice of paper pop up in the drivers seat and a guy pops up in the seat and pulls a black cloth over his head real quick. You can also see the guys hands clear as day while all this is going down. So I'm guessing the paper is instructions on how to drive the car for that scene. I had to rewind it a couple of times just for laughs.

I'm guessing that Knight Rider was filmed on actual film since it looks pretty decent, not great though. Also you think they'd wipe off the steering wheel every now and then. Close ups show the dirtiest steering wheel I've ever seen in my life. Looks like the police dusted for prints on it and nobody bothered to clean it. It's amazing what they could get away with back in the days when we were all watching TV through the haze.

Well I guess there's no santa , easter bunny or KITT. My belief system is shot, it's just a man in a car. LOL
