Full Color Football - History Of The AFL - Part 1 'The New Frontier' - Enhanced - 1080p

This great series was shown on Showtime back in 2009. I've had some very nice 720p copies of the episodes for years and got the idea to upscale and sharpen those to 1080p using Topaz Video AI. Turned out magnificent.

Yes,.... magnificent!

[@stratcat9432]

A most magnificent job you did on this Dave!

[@beatlesfansam]

I love this series (watched it when it came out), and you did a great job making it look even better! 👏🏻

Dave, last year I upscaled all 5 episodes from 720p to 1080p. You could've just grabbed them off my KZbin channel. I don't own the originals because basically after Showtime ran the series in 2009, the series disappeared. I'm not even sure how I got the 720p version. I probably downloaded it to my computer a few years back. I'd give the original YT account the credit, but I'm not sure who it was.

I hadn't realized that you had upscaled it to 1080p. I did a search on KZbin and only saw the ones posted by TheAFLHistory channel 10 years ago. In terms of grabbing them from your channel, I almost never will use KZbin downloads as a source unless there is no other option because of compression and all that. I had very nice 720p copies of all the episodes for years - don't know where I got them from either (wasn't from KZbin) - but, and I mean no offense here, my source 720p files looked better than the 1080p copies on your channel. It's all about the quality of the original source when I do these enhancements - better in, better out, and this one was a grand slam because of the quality of my originals.

Fans, this series is essential viewing !

I thought this was a wonderful series which I learned a lot from. Thanks for posting it, Dave.

[@chrisrose6014]

My favorite AFL Documentary!

[@henrymcallen5703]

Magnificent is putting it mildly Dave!! One of the best series ever done by NFL Films. Love seeing these uniforms come life so vibrantly!

Oh My! Empty Crowds in Classic Arenas, LA Memorial Coliseum, Frank Youell Field, Polo Grounds, Jeppesen Stadium. Most of the arenas were high school stadiums. If it wasn't for ABC and NBC, there would have been no merger. Television saved the AFL. Thanks Dave!

[@oldschooleddie2057]

Wowwwwwwwww!! I absolutely love this documentary. I pray that you will take the time and post the other four parts. Thanks so much Dave. An unbelievable upload.

[@markjones952]

I've watched this series on KZbin. As always, Dave did an amazing job upgrading the video quality. Top notch.

[@BaddogSports]

This series is absolutely AMAZING!!

[@PredatorKingdom]

This lookin' great in 1080p, this is a great seeies for youngsters to watch. It's essential for young pro football fans to learn their history of the AFL and how important that league was to the NFL's success during the 1970s surpassing baseball as the #1 sport in the country.

The great days of hearing the great Curt Gowdy calling those AFL games.

[@tigerstripe56]

This is the best AFL Documentary and now this footage is as good if not better than it was when it was first produced. Thank you Dave! Well Done!

[@richardcook6884]

Thanks Dave for this awesome upgrade. Great work. I love this. I appreciate you taking time to do this.

[@ShawnMcClurg]

I remember this series being on Comcast On Demand for awhile! Great times, thanks for the upload!

[@MRKRG9]

Dave, I watched this back when it came out, I forgot how good it was, I abso love all that old footage! Thank you so much bro!

[@stratcat9432]

One of the absolute best Football Documentarys ever produced. Excellent production and footage. I can't understand why the powers that be,never put this out on DVD or Blu-ray? Thank you Dave! 😊

[@scottydvintagevideos]

This series is hands down up there with the greatest sports documentaries of all time IE Ken Burns stuff and HBO Olympics documentaries. Peter Coyote is one of the best narrators as well.

[@tarransanders21]

I think we found the new definitive version of this series considering how the other version on KZbin is that crunchy, 480p thing.

[@TexasWildheartsFan]

Second only to PRO FOOTBALL, POTTSTOWN, PA as the greatest football doc ever 😎

[@Surftiva]

Hmm, I need to check that out.

[@mikeswithers2535]

this was a terrific series

[@deanmentjes7774]

Love this. Thanks!

[@dinocrocetti2950]

Great . That’s Peter Coyote narrator of many Ken Burs series .
