I notice 8 Simple Rules has been added to Disney+ UK today, in widescreen, but only the first two seasons out of three made are present. This may be no great loss as the show never really recovered after John Ritter died early into the second season production.
8SR was aired on ABC1, but they only ever aired it in 4:3 cut-out (for whatever reason ABC1 were pretty much allergic to anything widescreen aside from commercials). It was apparently aired in widescreen on some of the Channel 5 stations, though its blatantly obvious its been made 4:3 safe but it doesn't have that "Friends" effect of edges of the set, etc on widescreen prints.
