I wanted this toy so bad when I was a kid. I never got it.

It appears all the DVDs are 1.78:1 but there is no way that's how we originally watched them on TV. I wonder if it was open matte or Pan & Scan.

Would've been great to get some extras on this. I'd love a huge-ass documentary.

It was open matte, the shot compositions were intended for 1.78 and 1.66 for foreign theatrical releases, which didn’t end up happening, if I recall. The director shot the series as though he was making a theatrical film, which was one of the reasons the miniseries was such a sensation when it aired originally.

Sorry.
