Fox, unfortunately, does not letterbox their shows. Only way to see widescreen on Fox is to have HD. The show's 4:3 version, like 24, is framed very tightly. The widescreen version is clearly how they are shooting it.

You can always zoom the image in..... But why would you want to? Why do people STILL prefer their movies/tv hacked up?


In a related topic, TVShowsonDVD.com has posted an article regarding the Target disc issue. Apparently this IS at least somewhat of a widespread issue.

Oh well, if you don't want to watch it like it's supposed to be watched, that's your problem.
I know it is my choice and my problem I did not say it wasn't.

I'm going to blitz through this S:1 set to finish in time for the season 2 premiere later this month. I'm curious, where do the webisodes fit in during the season or does it even matter when you watch them?

It doesn't tie in with the show itself, just like the 24: Conspiracy didn't. But Proof of Innocence does take place at the same time as Season One of Prison Break, sometime after LJ takes that picture on his cellphone. It's highly doubtful the chracters will show up in Season Two.

thanks for all the info ravma479

i was hoping that i was just unlucky,
but came here to see whats up..

i was one of those, that bought both..
(intending to sell the spare on ebay, minus the promo)

but then i also got 2 bestbuy promos, really disappointing
considering i managed to grab the last set there..

& this makes the 2nd time ive missed "behind the walls"..
it was originally supposed to air sometime after episode 7,
as a midseason recap since fox had been running sports programs..
but they schedualed it a little prematurely,
so it never aired in my area.. (airing more sports instead)

the target sticker also says its 30 minutes (not 45?),
so im thinking it must be a completely different edit
recaping the FULL season..?

only now (while i was seeing if anyone on ebay had the target promo),
i just noticed an auction saying that "behind the walls" is IN the set..?
which would be very relieving, considering 'special episodes'
usually seem to be missing from sets for some extremely idiotic reason..

so i checked & no in fact its NOT in the set.. -_-;
i thought it might be because tv.com lists it as part of the 22 eps,
but i failed to notice they used the #7 2ce..
as usuall, ill have to find a broadcast copy from somewhere..

so it looks like ill be wasting more gas,
driving back to target tommorrow to demand my $ back..
& all this after they had buffy season 7 shelved for $23,
but told me it was $45 at the register.. -_-;

..on the other hand, i might wait a little to see if target
comes up w/ an exchange thing to correct the situation..
yknow, send the bestbuy promo, & xerox of the target receipt,
then they send back the correct promo..? its an idea,
but i somehow doubt theyd care enough to bother..

Or you could read just a little bit down the page and see this thread, started 2 days ago, which gives details of the replacement plan.

Just call the number mentioned earlier in the post. Be sure to answer yes to the plethora of times that you will be asked if you bought the set at Target. Give them your address, wait and hopefully enjoy. By the way, I felt like I was reading the lyrics to a song when I read your post. Do you always write in that format?

thanks for the info
see thats my problem, i dont browse the forum, i use search..
THIS thread is older than 2 days, so maybe thats why its all i saw from google..
http://www.google.com/custom?hl=en&l...um.dvdtalk.com

http://forum.dvdtalk.com/search.php
ok.. & now the search button isnt sending me to google anymore..?
i know ive been clicking the rightmost search link all along,
but this is the 1st time it HASNT sent me to google..
which makes no sense, unless they just changed it overnight, which i doubt..
i must not have been hitting the right link afterall, my memory must be screwy then..

yknow someone else on here said something about
'found poetry' the last time i posted.. (was that you?)
i was just confused, but i think i figured it out now..

its about how i space things huh?
i just dont like it when its all lumped together..
when its all lumped together, my ranting is more obvious..
so i break it up like paragraphs..
