The series was originally shown in 12:9 ("academy") aspect ratio. When the series was restored and re-mastered in 16:9 widescreen, for both broadcast, streaming, dvd and blu-ray, some viewers of a certain age were concerned that, like some other series, the 12:9 would be cropped in "fake letterbox". However, Warner Bros for years previously had shot their features in various cinema aspect ratios, and cropped them to 12:9 tv and vhs. In a sensible piece of corporate forward planning, Warner Bros Television, knowing the future widescreen tv aspect ratio, had been filming the series in 16:9 the entire time - note the opening and end credits text fits safely in where the 12:6 crop originally was. Unfortunately, the vertical side spaces either side of the 12:9 crops, now in widescreen, reveal stand-ins and other "errors", as the re-mastering scanned the entire visible exposed frame.
