Paramount I Love Lucy Complete Series Blu-ray

Video Notes:

Paramount Complete Series Blu-ray has horrible AI upscale throughout even for extras, even though the original TV were shot in 35mm.
The worst AI upscale in S7 disc 1can actually be replaced for free through MovieZyng (doesn't need to purchase through MovieZyng), but that's only one disc, and it only updated The Lucy–Desi Comedy Hour S1E1 Lucy Takes a Cruise to Havana see caps of comparison https://slow.pics/c/1O2fCeuB
