Taking a show originally cropped for 4:3 and expanding the image to 16:9 can also lead to fun results when microphones, lightstands and crew are in the parts of the picture that where originally cropped out. Buffy was a famous victim of that.
And fitting for the topic, there is a Matrix - Open Matte trailer on Youtube, was never broadcast in that form, but an interesting watch at what is in the full picture:

- deadbunny 5y agoThat's the least of the Buffy upscaling sins. They replaces sfx with objectively worse ones, they wrecked the colour balance, the cropping is insane. It was also always intended to be 4:3 for the entire run. https://buffy.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:BuffyHD/What%27s_Wrong_with_Buffy%27s_HD%3F https://buffy.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:BuffyHD/What%27s_Wro... Now that Matrix trailer is how I remember it from my 3 visits to the cinema and dozens of times on VHS! Much less green tint.
