ADDITION: Kino Blu-ray (February 2020): Kino have transferred the 1978 Made-for-TV movie Superdome to Blu-ray. It is from a "Brand New 2K Master". It looks very good - as they state in the commentary - despite the 1.33:1 frame, it looks more like a more serious production film. This "Movie of the Week" appears to have had a more substantial budget with many extras, on-location shooting plus a diverse and notable cast. It's on a single-layered disc with a reasonable bitrate, but there are instances of depth and pleasing colors/detail. No damage or marks - probably a strong replication, or exceeding, its broadcast premiere video presentation.

On their Blu-ray, Kino use a DTS-HD Master 2.0 channel track (16-bit) in the original English language. It has some football crowd and pomp music plus a score by John Cacavas (The Satanic Rites of Dracula, Horror Express, Hangar 18)  sounding a deep and consistent in the lossless. Kino offer optional English subtitles on their Region 'A' Blu-ray.

The Kino Blu-ray has a brand new audio commentary by director Jerry Jameson with film historians par excellence Howard S. Berger and Steve Mitchell. It focused on Jameson's career, his recollections of the production and cast. While the questions appeared to be more based for larger-scale theatrical cinema, the answers were fairly bland - suitable to that of a 20-day TV production. Of course, it's always impressive to hear Berger and Mitchell rhyme off extraneous relationships that Jerry Jameson had working with others in the industry. These guys are so well-prepared. They did talk about DoP Matthew F. Leonetti, the look, design of the film, it's limitations made in the 70s, certain scenes lighting, Donna Mills Farrah-esque hair, etc.. I thought the commentary had plenty of value. There are also trailers (none for the film.)

The appeal of Superdome was the cast; I've always been a huge David Janssen fan, as well as seeing early Selleck and the lithe Donna Mills - both looking like superstars. The supporting players are also impressive with Edie Adams, Clifton Davis, Ken Howard, Van Johnson, Jane Wyatt, Bubba Smith, Dick Butkus, M. Emmet Walsh etc. Superdome is very indicative of its era - weak plot, churned out, but solidly performed and realized. Meh. The Blu-ray has appeal for those keen on the commentary and/or who have nostalgic value for 70's TV work. I watched to completion and I think this is better than represented critically (no 'Turkey'). It's typical including a twist and has a Superbowl 'Nawlins' backdrop. I'm glad I saw it and listened to the commentary.
