Mr. E, hate to burst your bubble, but it's a little of both. Click the picture to go to the avsforum.com thread and check out the two photos (like the one above), notice the bathreem and microwave/stove, but also George has no legs and the stools are gone. I think the "safe zone" only allowed a little more picture but not enough to be 16x9. I see this as a "recomposition" of sorts. I just want it on blu, and I hope Sony did a good job on this!
Thanks Rusty, you're right. I went and checked out the thread after posting. I'll have to watch a few episodes and get a sense of the composition to see how I prefer it. Based on this particular screenshot, I definitely like the widescreen composition better. All that counter at the bottom of the picture does nothing for the scene.
In any case, Seinfeld on Blu-ray? Sign me up. I expect they'll be coming out when we get past any lingering replication constraints.
