Almost everyone agrees that Warner made a mistake by issuing the first season of Kung Fu in "widescreen." Since it was originally shot as a full screen television show, this effect was accomplished by cutting off the top and the bottom of the picture. This was incredibly absurd, especially since it reinforced the fears of all those who always thought this was happening whenever you bought something in widescreen. In addition, some purchasers complained that a minute or two was missing from most episodes, apparently to accomodate commercials when it was syndicated.
The first problem was so bad that the second and third season box sets prominently say that what you are purchasing is the original, full screen show. What I'm wondering is if anyone has heard whether Warner plans to reissue Season One in a corrected form.

Sorry, I don't have an answer but Kung Fu was and is one of my favorite shows of all times. I still catch the re-runs when they are on, but thanks to your information, I will be looking for the boxed sets. Did you ever see the movie Circle of Iron? I have been looking for that on DVD for some time now.
