i didn't target any specific show or movie... i said exactly what i meant
to say... some HD shows/movies do not fill the screen... they have empty
bands on the top and bottom... i think it is called letterbox but my
understanding is that only applies to some converted entities... not those
that are shot and transmitted/projected in HD...

the situation with TNG is different... it is a non-HD show being converted
to HD and retaining its original dimensions...

And to this end they built themselves a stupendous super-computer which was
so amazingly intelligent that even before its data banks had been connected
up it had started from "I think therefore I am" and got as far as deducing
the existence of rice pudding and income tax before anyone managed to turn
it off.
