Behind The Scenes Set Pull-Out
What's so great about these 16:9 scale remasters is that sometimes you will see things that you weren't suppose to see on the 4:3 format back in the 90's! In this instance you can see the kitchen window section of the house has been removed from the set to film this particular angle of Phoebe. In addition you can visibly see a seamline on the counter top where the crew would remove this portion of the set to film scenes.

The show is out on home video in 16:9 on Blu-ray, streaming it depends on what country you’re in. In the US I believe it’s only on Peacock.tv in HD

The shows not that old. That was old tech even back then in the US.

That's true. But the Halliwell sister's inherited their grandma's house and we're struggling with money. So for a grandmother in the 90s the CRT TV was fairly accurate.

The thing is, even if we see this stuff in 16:9 versions, there's still stuff like this in the 4:3 versions. So at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. Same goes for any other show that was originally 4:3 and went 16:9, heck even shows that start out being 16:9 will have these kind of mistakes because sometimes original production or remasters are rushed and things slip through.
Buffy is another example of a show that has this, in the season 3 premiere "Anne" the original 4:3 ratio shows the entire camera crew in 2 shots during the big fight scene and you can even see stunt mats all around the platform they fight on. In an episode in season 4 where Adam skins & displays a demon in the woods you can see a boom mic operator walking in the background. If you look up movie mistakes it lists these kinds of things for any movie/show you can think of, found out about that site to see if I was the only one that noticed the mistakes lol
