They also ruined the original Star Trek TV series when the "remastered" it and made it 16:9 from 4:3, (they also added stereo sound effects).
There are many other examples.
Please TV companies show films in the ratio they were made.

I had thought ST:TNG was made with stereo sound from the start.
Some (mostly American) shows from the 1990s were made on film, but then all the post-production was done on computer with videotape final masters.
This means it's been hard to re-issue them on Blu-Ray as even if the film negatives and other elements survive it's going to be expensive to give them a high definition remaster.
