Hooray! Now I won't have to watch my grainy old taped-off-of-TV copy! Although it is kind of interesting to see what TV was like a whole 11.5 years ago. :p Actually I was watching my taped copy of "Colonial House" last night. I can't believe that's already several years old! And the quality of the EP tape made me think that perhaps I should fork over some $ to PBS for a DVD.
