 Through an oversight, Worldvision didnt renew the copyrights on  most episodes of "One Step Beyond" when they expired in the late  1980s and they thus fell into the public domain. Since royalties  didnt have to be paid to Worldvision, the result was a revival of  the series on UHF and cable television and on VHS and DVD. Since  well worn syndication prints were and are typically used by those  media, the results sometimes leave something to be desired.
