They do have small black bars on the sides (just like films on Blu-ray that are actually presented at 1.85:1 and not cropped to 1.78:1 have small black bars on the top and bottom - assuming your TV shows all pixels and doesn't overscan). But they take up a lot lower percentage of the screen than the black bars that are on the top and bottom of 2.35:1 and 2.39:1 films.

Some of the James Bond Blu-rays are in 1.66:1 aspect ratio, like Dr. No (even though, according to imdb.com, their intended aspect ratio in American cinemas was 1.85:1).
