If it was a black and white picture, it could be there were some
artifacts caused by the film to video conversion. Did you check any
other sets or neighbors' tvs to see if they saw the same thing.

No. I figure I'll have a chance to do this later. To check this tv on
a different episode (Heck, I watched the show last night but forgot to
look.)

I had the same effect with two different brands of convertor boxes and on
different TV's. My antenna was common to both. I don't know if too much
signal could have caused it, or if it was broadcast with a problem. Most of
the local broadcasters did seem to need a month or two to get things right,
such as the sync between the video and audio, going off air etc ...

I've seen lack of sync but only once, I think, and not at the start.

and I was tweaking the antenna quite often too, wondering if it was me or
them.

I just got an antenna, but have to crawl into the attic to set it up.
