The teapot glitch was not fixed. So I'm betting the other seasons that were not
in the correct widescreen ratio won't be this time around either.

I've investigated and I'm currently working on the assumption that they were
hurrying to replace the S2-4 wides and didn't get around to the smaller
problems yet (though that one was the first one fixed; I have a corrected VHS
