Yeah, it's weird seeing that stuff. 


Early stuff like this makes me wonder how much better the show could have been if the producers/studio hadn't always treated it like such a red-headed stepchild. 

People always remark about how such a flimsy storyline & cheap production lasted for 7 years.  But you could turn that around and ask, "How good must the basics have been, to withstand year after year of having nothing to work with?"

Wow that was cool.   ;D  It kinda had the look and feel of a soap opera though.  Kinda like, Days of Our Lives in Hazzard County or One Duke Life to Live....   :icon_smile_cool:

Yeah, weird seeing them like that.  Different shirts, cheap props all around them, etc.  (Maybe we just can't get our minds around seeing Bo & Luke without any kind of automobile anywhere in the frame?)


The fact that this test footage was shot on video is a subtle step towards the soap-opera look.  Video is bright colors and 30 interlaced frames.  It really looks different from the less saturated colors & 24 progressive frames that you get with film.  (The whole TV series was all done on film.)
