That is a really tough call. I would think a "slight" overscan (something like the 1.66:1 Disney often uses) would work well. Definitely don't want to screw with the shots, but a slight zoom on a TV show shouldn't be very noticable, given the inherent overscan in most shots to accomodate older sets with horrible overscan.

Just my $.02.
