What's wrong with "Citizen Baines" tonight?

It looks dull and washed out today, almost the same way as the second episode of "Max Bickford". Could it be that they switched from film to video on this one too? The first two episodes had very good picture quality, and were clearly film-based. What's going on CBS?

I knew it wasn't my equipment. "The District" looks as good as always.

I'm following the "poor CBS quality" posts all around the board. Have to agree with you, Vic. "District" looks much better than "Baines" or football. Glad to read it's not my equipment or my eyes.

Looks pretty good on the in Sacramento, CA. Not as good as the District but better than ABC.

Looks very soft and not as much definition as other HD material here in LA.

Usually, I find complaints about "poor picture quality" are a result of grainy cinemagraphy, which is supposedly intentional, which I guess some lower-resolution TV's just show as a washed out image since they can't resolve the fine detail of the grain. But tonight's show was definitely low-resolution. It looked much more like a DVD than an HD show. I wonder was it filmed in 16mm, or intentionally down-res'd? Or maybe is was shot slightly de-focussed?
