Your MeTV station must be one of those that pre-empts certain

"MeTV also began to carry remastered widescreen prints of some
programs (such as Leave It to Beaver, I Love Lucy, The
Honeymooners, and The Monkees) and present its program
promotions in the 16:9 format; most other programming to which
Me-TV has only obtained 4:3 prints are presented in an
anamorphic 14:9 format."

Lousy. If you value your time and your TV it would
suit to get the DVDs of what you like, rather than
just see only 70% of the screen with The Monkees and
only 80% of the screen of The Flintstones.

Don't you mind having the top and bottom of the program
being cut off by MeTV?
