Hi Tech Rudolph
It's that time of year again, and CBS is advertising a new remastered, high-definition version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Just what we've been waiting for: ultra-clear stop-motion puppets. You'll be able to see every ice crystal in Sam the Snowman and each strand of Yukon Cornelius's beard. Wikipedia says that CBS already aired this version last year, but if that's true, I missed it. Who has a high def TV and can tell us if Santa and his elves and reindeer seem like they're right in the room with you?

Bob B. if you're out there, tell us how it is!
My brother-in-law recently got fired—or 'shitcanned' as he put it. He will have to get himself remastered soon, or he and my sis may lose their new house.
I have such a thing.
I suppose I could watch it.
One thing about pre-HD elements on HD is that it doesn't really do anything other than not degrade the source. The best example of this, which isn't Rudolph, would be older movies run on an HD channel. (One that frequently shows older films is INHD. Check your local listings...) The result is that you get the closest approximation of what you saw sitting in the theater, or would have if you had. It helps if your HD TV is big. Mine isn't, but I get the idea anyway.
I saw it and we all sat around and said, "Darn, this looks really good! How did they do it?"
