The aspect ratio was a part of the controversy.
The show was not filmed in wide screen. It was filmed in what they called "4:3" - which is more of a square than a rectangle. (The marketing geniuses of today confuse people by calling it "full screen".)
Anyway, the physical film is slightly wider than a 4:3 television. So, the original picture has been cropped a bit smaller to fit the older TVs.
Although the original film is wider than the standard 4:3 TV, it is not nearly as wide as today's standard 16:9 widescreen TVs. So, it does not completely fill up a widescreen TV. But, it does have a larger picture than originally aired.
The magic of these DVDs is that they've incorporated as much of the original image as possible - as well as digitally cleaning up the picture.
You'll have to determine what you prefer. You can watch it "as is" or zoom in. But, using your TV's zoom feature will cut off a portion of the top and bottom of the image.
Enjoy.

Yes, I was expecting the 4:3 ratio and was
pleasantly surprised to see a noticeably wider display.
This set is fantastic.

1.33:1 aspect ratio
is the same as 4:3
Just take 4 and divide it by 3 and
it equals 1.33

ratio is 1:33:1 35mm
aspect ration up to 1953 had been the standard
1:37:1 the first
scope film was "The Robe" it was filmed twice
once for the then standard format and at the same time for
the new scope projection if you compare the two films
you'll see slight differences in performances film is
