Streaming service updates sitcom for high-definition televisions, but loses some visual gags in the process
Friday, and while all 180 episodes are now available on the streaming service, some jokes didn’t make the cut, literally.
As noted on social media, some of the visual gags from the series have been cropped out due to the series’ now-16:9 aspect ratio that updates the picture for HD televisions, as opposed to its original and boxier 4:3 ratio from when the series first broadcast on TV. The cropping is most visible in the episode “The Pothole,” where instead of searching for his keys in the now-paved street, George Costanza is instead seen lashing out at an otherwise unblemished pavement.
