Nothing can help LIS; the cheese factor IS the show.
Yeah, LIS's bread and butter is cheese, but there's no reason why that cheese couldn't look more attractive. Think how many more mice you'd attract...! LOL
sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.
Yes, I hear CBS "prefers" that the remastered versions are used in syndication.

I'm wondering if it's possible CBS (which made the remasters) only allows TV stations to play the remasters --- kind of like George Lucas and his infatuation with the Special Editions.
When you think about it, the remasters sets the series apart from their former owner - NBC
For the Ds9 episode, they actually built physical models.

I don't mind some of the spit and polishing that happened to TOS. It's kind of nice to see the ENTERPRISE in all her glory circling a planet that actually resembles a planet. Ditto with the larger establishing shots; it's good to see a more "realistic" planetscape or a city that's supposed to be bustling actually filled with people. I'll agree that whomever supervised the revised opening credits definitely needed to go back and re-record the "ah ahh ah ah ah ah ahhhh" vocals and turn them down an octave or two. And, if I get really nostalgic, I still have my original, untouched ST:TOS DVDs I can pop in. If memory serves, all this revamping/updating of the visual efx are a result of the DS9 episode "More Trouble, More Tribbles," in which we first saw a newly created CGI version of many of the classic elements. I remember being blown away when I saw that.
