It goes to Billy Batson's comment that, "I don't think widescreen tellys had crossed anyone's mind in the sixties." I'm suggesting that audiences were already used to wider formats by that point and if television had the capability, it might have mimicked that. But I'm reaching into my college 101 Comm class at UM with Judy Wallace to remember if wider screen films even existed before television or if that was a reaction to television stealing audiences. That might have been the case, but television could have reacted back by the sixties because, by then, audiences were well-conditioned to watching wider presentations by that point. So, of course we were conscious of seeing media that way.
