Darren Gross has often commented that an HD transfer wouldn't really work with the '91 DS because of how DC filmed it using smoke machines for his desired effect. (Barbara Steele even commented that once production ended all the cast was going to have to be put into iron lungs to recuperate.) The use of smoke is why certain scenes come across so grainy on DVD and to a lesser extent on the VHS - and that graininess would only be compounded in HD. On the other hand, things didn't come across that same way on the standard TVs that were around in '91, and those are the types of TVs the show was meant to be watched on.
