*60%* of the series, they screwed up!?!?!?!

I would ask if this would affect the non-existent DVDs...

No.  Let me repeat: they chose the wrong versions from which to make the
transfers.  They stuck the regular prints rather than the lbs copies *that
exist already*.  It's not nothing to do with the dvd situation, because the
original widescreen are in the vault, they just pulled the wrong ones for the
SFC transfer (as I understand it).
