Aw, come on, Darren and MB. I've seen DS in its original aspect ratio, i.e. the 1966-1971 videotape ratio of 1:33:1 since watching the show in its original run...and in sydication in the early 80s, and on MPI's videotapes from 1989...and finally on the DVDs. Please, allow me to indulge in the modern technology that allows me to watch the show in 1:78:1 ratio on my HD TV. LOL
