This kind of "correcting" and "enhancing" seems to be happening more and more. :facepalm So what's the release to watch if you want to see Buffy as it was on tv in 1997? Are the dvd's untouched?

I've seen good rematers and bad, but this..? Going widescreen just created too many problems. No wonder the uber-fans are annoyed. I'm irked, and that's only from what I saw in that one video, was there no-one in charge of colour balance and contrast? It's like they ran the whole thing though auto-filters on default settings.
The DVDs are the original episodes as intended. This issue exists because the original episodes were only created for SD, so the only way to create a true HD version is to go back to the original film negatives and redo the entire editing process from scratch. The DVD releases don't require this, because the original versions are sufficient resolution.
And I absolutely hate seeing 4:3 shows forced to 16:9. I want to see shows as they were originally shot and framed, whatever aspect ratio that happens to be. When I see shows like Seinfeld and Cheers in widescreen on TV, I could make a drinking game out of every time there's a cropped off head.

Ohhhh....but it's shinier.... :facepalm I'm waiting to see how they butcher Battlestar Galactica for the Bluray set.
That show was originally created in HD, and has already been released on Bluray, so you're all good there.
I'm talking about the original series. It's coming out on Blu later this year and they're reframing it for 16:9. Fortunately they're also releasing it in its original ratio, but that set cost extra money.

I've been very happy with my Chosen Collection box set. Forget what year it came out. Shortly after the series ended. It's the one in the white box with the blood dripping down it, not the all-red box. Then again, I don't watch them often. They've probably all gotten watched once with a few watched once or twice additionally, so I haven't really analyzed them or looked for anything different. Yet. I sense another viewing coming on once I finish La Femme Nikita.
Same here. I never got around to watching the show back in the day, but I am a purist when it comes to director's intent (or creator's intent, in this case), and in proper preservation and presentation of material of any kind. The video producer in the OP said it right, it's heartbreaking when a show like this (that I know has a HUGE following) gets treated so disrespectfully, and that it clearly didn't get the time and effort that the fans deserve.
