The Seinfeld credit is just an error. It happens to a lot of movies as well.

Well ER debuted in 94 and they planned ahead and filmed it in widescreen.
But I agree that this is a silly thread.

With all of the TV shows coming to DVD in their 4:3 OAR, I get paranoid about pillar boxing screen burn so I find myself zooming the picture to fill the 16:9 screen sometimes. Some shows are widescreen safe, some aren't -- Seinfeld, for example, seems to go right to the top of the screen a lot because when zoomed, you can cut off half of a person's head!
Just a random thought: I have noticed that porn is usually widescreen safe.

Does Seinfeld (Seasons 1, 2 & 3) come in the Anamorphic widescreen version. I was able to spot only the Foolscreen version at stores. Is this the only version? Thanks.

"or it'll have annoying bars on the sides, which ARE annoying compared to letterboxing"
The same mentality of the foolscreen folks. The original aspect is 4X3. All I can say is, don't watch the bars, watch the show.

What you said above, when filtered through what you meant, is "the simple reason that a TV show that was shot 1.33 should be shown 1.85", which is senseless.
That said, I agree with you that it's likely to be remastered for 1.85 TVs in the next release, but that's all the more reason to get this current proper release.
