I don't like that they made Seinfeld wide screen. Many jokes and gags take place where the screen cuts off.

Jesus. Did we learn nothing from when they used to cut off movies the other way when formatting them for TV?

Nope. Because the average person only cares about their screen being filled, believes black bars steal their souls, and that they didn't pay all that money for no soul stealing black bars to take up part of the screen.

It’s a failure of the industry for having different aspect ratios standards for tv and movies and then changing to it the split the difference. It’s not a failure of the viewer for noticing black bars on the screen
