They looked bad when we saw them in the original standard. Nothing to
do with missing lines.

Something other than 100 lines less caused NTSC to suck?

according to some NTSC stood for Never Twice the Same Color.

When there was a US director for the UK content of an American program, he
didn't like the accurate flesh tones that came out of our cameras: "They've
paid for color, give them color!"

etc

Ah yes I'd forgotten their colour encoding was dodgy. It's inside one of the other signals, or seperate and not synced right, or something. The opposite of what PAL does.
