You realize there's gonna be no increase in quality, right? Standard-def material shot on video simply can't be formatted for HD.

The only point would be to fit more episodes on one disc. Would you really re-buy it for that reason alone?

So whats the difference from a Martin series versus a old movie like coming to america when it comes to doing them in blu-ray?? Got Em!!

Coming to America was shot on film. Film has even higher resolution than blu-ray or HD, so you can scan it and downsample it to HD with excellent results and clarity.

Martin was shot on videotape, at lower NTSC resolution. There's really no way to get any better picture quality out of the source than you already have on DVD.

You could upscale it I guess, but that's about it. The source material just isn't high enough to be HD.

This is one of those shows that had me in stitches as a child. In retrospect it's still funny but not 'laugh till my sides hurt' funny like it was back then. It's a bit dated to the new jack swing era like In Living Color but brings back memories.
