Picture this: One of your favorite old-schoolhouse TV shows finally comes to a streaming service, and you settle in for a nostalgic rampage. But as yous start watching, something seems a little off. Yous go on thinking that certain scenes look unlike from how yous remember them. And was that ever the theme song?

Don't worry — yous're non imagining things. To put your mind at ease, we're explaining why some classic shows really do look and sound different on streaming platforms.

It'southward All Most the Aspect Ratio

Let's have Seinfeld as an case. Hardcore fans were excited to hear that the classic bear witness was heading to Netflix. Merely when information technology dropped, some fans called foul. What was the trouble? It all comes down to the aspect ratio — or the ratio of an image'southward width to its summit.

The original broadcast aspect ratio of Seinfeldwas 4:three — the standard for the foursquare Idiot box screens of the late 80s, when the testify premiered. Equally modern-day Goggle box screens have gotten wider and wider, many streaming services now release older shows in a 16:9 aspect ratio to match. But going from four:3 to 16:9 requires some drastic zooming and cropping — and that kind of edit can cause carefully planned visual jokes to disappear from the frame.

For example, in the season 8 Seinfeldepisode called "The Pothole," a pothole is clearly visible in 4:iii aspect ratio. But in the widescreen crop, the pothole disappears, leaving Jerry and George gesturing at zero. And it's non only Seinfeld— the aspect ratio switcheroo is a common problem among old-school TV shows that head to streaming.

The early seasons of The Simpsonsaired in four:iii — but when the show came to Disney+ in 2019, those seasons appeared in a widescreen crop. And fans were quick to point out just how much blitheness was missing from the beloved series.

For example, i episode featured a van marked "Clumsy Educatee Movers" and showed one of those clumsy movers dropping a lamp at the bottom of the screen. Only cheers to a cruel crop, the whole visual joke disappeared on streaming.

Luckily, Disney+ responded to fan complaints. Now if you want to watch Homer's hijinks in the original aspect ratio — and see all the original animation — all you have to practice is cull four:3 in a new aspect ratio toggle pick.

It'south Not Only the Visuals — Shows Sound Dissimilar, Too

If you grew up watching a lot of Television set, you can probably sing every word to a bunch of series' theme songs. "I'll Be In that location For You" by The Rembrandts, anyone?

When old-schoolhouse shows move to streaming, they frequently encounter another claiming — prohibitively pricey music rights for their iconic theme songs and other key tunes. Many TV production companies of the 80s and 90s only ponied up for the initial broadcast rights for music, and then the original contracts don't cover streaming or DVD releases.

And when it comes time to get the music rights for streaming, some companies cull to simply replace the music with something cheaper. For case, Twentieth Century Fox aghast at the cost of licensing Joe Cocker's version of "With A Fiddling Help From My Friends" for The Wonder Years. So when the series finally hit Netflix, it was missing this familiar cover.

Another case that caused a real stir: Dawson's Creek appearing on Netflix without Paula Cole'due south memorably angsty tune, "I Don't Desire to Wait." When fans tuned in to revisit all their favorite melodramatic moments with Joey, Dawson and the whole gang, they were greeted by a very unlike intro: Jann Arden's "Run Similar Mad." And many were not pleased with the change.

Can't imagine enjoying your favorite shows without the iconic songs you call up? Consider making a stink about it. But as Disney+ corrected The Simpsonsattribute ratio afterward fans complained, Sony eventually caved to fan pressure level and secured new streaming rights for the original Dawson's Creek theme song. So if yous desire to run into and hear older TV series exactly as the creators intended, remember that a loud plenty fan outcry can sometimes get producers and platforms to alter (or un-alter) their ways.
