[78-L] Perry Mason (a bit OT)

[David Lennick]

My point was that in this case, at least, the cheapo dvd isn't using a cut-down 
version from the more recent cable reruns. There were also no obvious edits. 
The quality was as good as the Alfred Hitchcock Presents sets (actually, 
better). None of the hash noise from badly kept 16mm prints, no obvious 
over-use of noise reduction.
