Anyone who is interested in buying this - just a warning that the SD quality is very poor. I already had the full set on DVDs and had ripped my own copies. But at one time the series was on sale on iTunes and I figured I'll buy it, so I can just stream the iTunes version. As soon as I played one episode I realized the quality of my own rips was so much superior. The iTunes version had a horribly low bitrate and had just an unacceptable level of artifacts in low light scenes. I immediately requested a refund. Luckily for me, the bu-rays were released just the following year, and I got them on release date.
Funnily enough - now that I have both versions I think the SD version (I.e. my own rip from DVDs) is better looking than the HD version — apart from the resolution of course. The HD version has a grainy look. I don't know if they artificially added it, or it's an artifact of the re-editing they had to do. But personally I don't like that artificial grain. The DVDs definitely have a cleaner look, albeit at lower resolution.
They started streaming the 4K version on Paramount+ though they changed the aspect ratio to 16:9. I do wonder whether they will ever sell the 4K version. I wouldn't mind buying that version.
Also, Fraiser is a top 10 all-time comedy tv show. Significantly underrated.

It seems only Seasons 10 and 11 are in HDX on Vudu. The rest is SD.
It's $10 lower than the lowest price ($29.99) for 264 episodes.

What is going on with that? I know that local streaming is done via your local station.
But there should still be a way for PPlus to get it in 4k?
They have 3 years to figure it out.
