Maddie doesn t like being outmaneuvered by David, but the two are soon forced into a bickering partnership to solve to crime, after certain lethal individuals make inquiries about the mysterious wristwatch. While somewhat dark, image quality is rather impressive for a TV pilot from 1985. Everything appears sharp and well defined. Colors offer respectable saturation and flesh tone always look realistic. None of the stronger hues bleed beyond their boundaries, nor are the colors distorted in any way.
Blacks are fairly accurate, but the contrast renders things a bit flat looking at times.
But then again, television cinematography is somewhat limited, when compared to the movies. The Dolby Digital soundtrack is high quality television monaural. Dialogue is crisp, clean and intelligible, while the music is reproduced without any distortion. The interactive menus are very nicely designed and contain animation as well as music. Through the menus one can access the standard scene selection feature with full motion previews, as well as the DVD s supplements.
