Lois & Clark in widescreen?

[Russkafin]

Did you know that Lois and Clark was filmed in widescreen?? I'm doing some resarch for a paper on widescreen vs full frame movies, and I came across this in an FAQ on www.widescreen.org....

How will new digital TVs affect widescreen?
Digital TVs are going to be wider than existing TVs; therefore they will be more capable of displaying widescreen movies. (Lois and Clark and Babylon 5 are actually filmed in widescreen, but the TV stations refuse to let them be shown that way!)

Although HDTVs will be wider than existing TVs, they will not be in a full aspect ratio of 2.35:1; therefore, there will still be a need for letterboxing on movies which are wider than 1.85:1, but the "black bar" effect will be reduced.

Wouldn't it be cool if L&C was released in widscreen on DVD??

I always liked the series. I found it enjoyable and I would buy it no matter how it looked.

By the way... Is your avatar from Lois and Clark or Superman the Movie?

It's from Lois and Clark... its the episode where Supes is leaving Earth to go fight on New Krypton, he has just said goodbye to Lois and is about to fly out of the Daily Planet.

i liked the series also. it seems people who like Lois and Clark are in the minority but i wouldn't buy it on DVD. and another thing, i initially started watching Lois and Clark was because of Teri Hatcher but i ended up liking the show at the same time.

I loved the show but I'd only buy the first season on DVD, cause it was the best!!:)
