Sorry to bump this thread, but I thought this might be interesting to some.

While I wasn't around back in March 2007 when Drewbee87 said that Germany was airing W&G in HD, I am almost certain that this wasn't true, it was most likely upscaled.

Right now, German channel Pro7Fun is airing W&G seasons 6-8 non-stop, and even the episodes that aired in HD in the US are upscaled.

However, a few months ago I saw some episodes of seasons 4 and 5 on SuperRTL in 16:9, so there ARE widescreen masters for those seasons at least.
I did spot one crew member and camera on one of the corners on episode S05E07 in one of the buffet-scenes. It can be slightly seen in 4:3 transfers as well, although less distracting.

Anyway, if they ever broadcast the show from season one again, I'll be sure to be on the lookout to see if it's widescreen or not from the get go.
