Standard def reruns aired on HD [was Re: Todd Gross let Go??]

[John Francini]

Not necessarily; however, you wouldn't have people complaining that "reruns
of older shows look like crap", especially when the original medium [film]
is capable of very high resolution imagery.  It might help HD acceptance to
accelerate from people _wanting_ to have it rather than _needing_ to have
it, as they will from 2009 onward.
