    Lotta old shows are re-formated just to have the wider screen, since they would still film at higher res for movies or just because. It’s not just an indication of age if something is still only in 4:3, it’s an indication of thrift or just a general lack of giving a shit about the future.

      a lot of old disney animated shows are now widescreen. Seinfeld is also widescreen and HD, probably was on film.

        Watching Friends on Netflix in 4k is really trippy, since there are shows filmed just a little later on digital that look so bad.
