Nope, they were originally 4:3 and then remastered (re-rendered, actually, that's why they look and are native HD) to 16:9 1080p later, it wasn't until around season 13 that episodes were made in HD
Interesting to think analog shut off only 7 years later in 2009, when in 2002 hdtv was still in its infancy and still had to be explained to the public. That’s a big change in 7 years
It seems the United States was way behind on this one. Britain began DTV transmissions as far back as 1998 and completely phased out analogue broadcasts on a phased-by-region basis between 2008 and 2012.
HDTV actually started in the US around '99, but it took a little while longer for the general public to adapt, so we kept pushing back the analog cut-off date. Most people had upgraded to HDTV by 2008 or so.
Can't believe this was only 60 years ago that's insane
this was 18 years ago, not 60.

0:33 holy shit that's a Sony GDM-FW900 CRT Monitor
The 2020 reboot of Animaniacs on Hulu made a transition from 4:3 to 16:9, high-definition that is.
Bonkers?
every south park episode, was made on 16:9 aspect ratio, they thought about it even before this become the standard.

No, they only remastered the episodes in 2012.
2:27 This guy predicted the future
0:33 we need to go deeper
Now we have some that have 18:9 screen size for phones but not tv's.
But now we have 8k tv's.
I have a question:
Were the first HDTV sets 720p, 1080i, or 1080p?
i think it was 720p
@@BowserHype27 I have a crt panasonic quintrix tv from 2001 and does 1080i
Ivan Salmoran the first HDTV I had (made in 2007) did 1080i but cable didn't have 1080i until 2009.
The real question is, what was the very first consumer HDTV set in existence to hit the market and what country and year did it debut?
