Damn, that's terrible. Reminds me of The Simpsons being cropped into 16:9 for Disney and obscuring the joke that all the Duff brews come from one pipe.




You can switch to the original 4:3 though

Edit: and I'm getting flagged lol

The Simpsons > Details > Remastered aspect ratio > Off https://i.imgur.com/pQohgQp.jpeg


That option wasn't added until some time later.

I wish Netflix did it for Seinfeld.

The fact you can't see the pothole in the pothole episode still cracks me up. Ironically the kind of plotline you'd see in a Seinfeld episode. https://www.indiewire.com/features/general/seinfeld-netflix-...

And thank god for that, because the 4:3 remasters are quite good, and IMO the best way to watch the old episodes on big screens. They've just remastered enough to make them more crisp and less pixelated but not so much that they look like a flash cartoon like the previous 16:9 TV "remasters".

I've had people make the Duff argument about real beers. Putting bad batches in a different can is a great way to do quality control on your main brand though.
