Just started watching my House series 1 DVDs. Turns out they're all in 4:3 ratio. Colour me unimpressed...

I have read that because the PAL TV system uses more lines than the US's NTSC system, they sometimes have to drop features in order to squeeze the same number of episodes on the same number of discs, but 24 manages to keep the widescreen format and I don't think the House boxset has a surfeit of extra features either.
