Halp! Query about CSI DVD sets

[freddie-mac.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to build my CSI library of dvd sets, and am trying to find sets in *full screen* for Region 1 (or 0). Aside from season one, were any other seasons released as full screen? Much as I want to drool over nick&greg during countless rewatches, I hate those black bars across the screen even more.

Thanks!

To my knowledge Season 1 was the only season originally recorded in the 'old' tv aspect ratio (4:3), where full screen is more square than panorama view. Like many tv-shows later seasons were filmed in the 'new' 16:9 ratio (for HD tv/flatscreens).
I don't think you can find different formats, but a lot of dvd players can "stretch" the image to suit your preference. (although that often means you miss part of the image, so I'd get used to the black bars if I were you;)
