"pan and scan" is the technique sometimes used to make widescreen movies fit on a regular TV. If you go to to Wikipedia's entry on "pan and scan" there is a great video clip, using Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, that shows how this works, and how much is lost.

Anyway, looking at the "Happy Days Season 3" set at Barnes and Noble's website, it states that it is presented in pan-and-scan. Huh? It was made for TV, it should simply be in fullscreen (1.33:1) format.
