If you get a chance watch Hogan's Heroes on the Universal HD channel or HDNet. it's a remarkable remaster. The remaster was done for HDNet with a let's see how good we can do it attitude. It's cropped a bit for 16.9 but the visual quality grabbed my eye immediately.

As for BD, things like Planet Earth are a must in BD. I buy my TV series like X-Files and Stargate in DVD but I would buy the LoTR Trilogy in BD as well as anything Pixar.

Any idea what they used as a master for their Hogans retransfer? The series was shot on film originally, so if they got their hands on the negative or one of the original prints the detail was there right along. They just resurrected it in the remastering.

I did a lot of video only shows in the 70’s and 80’s. On many of them I did the original 525 recordings, so I know what they looked like when the pictures left the stage, and I know what going down the generations during editing did to them. I recently saw one of my old Sonny and Cher's that had been remastered, and it looked better than it did coming in from the studio. I was impressed.
