Look closely at the proportions of the body and objects on screen.

TBS HD uses stretching on most originally 4:3 broadcasts to achieve a false 16:9 image.

At least, I'm pretty sure TBS is the one infamous for that terrible terrible practice.

psst. It's because you are wrong.
 
They aren't stretched they were remastered in HD and they cropped the edges. Supposedly the way the show was shot they accommodated for widescreen in the future so that no important info is out of frame.
 
anything shot on film is hd😉
they just have to go back and rescan all the stuffs.

stuff shot in dv and stuff..remains sh*t forever.
