Could a widescreen Magnum ever be made?

Friends, like Magnum, was shot in 4:3, and both were shot on 35mm film. Friends has successfully been transferred to widescreen (16:9) without any real picture loss; it looks great. Could the same be done to Magnum? Try cropping the screen to 16:9 if you have a TV that allows you to do this and tell me if it would work.

I've watched it like this. Yes, you don't really miss that much most of the time, but heads are sometimes cut off awkwardly and you kinds feel like you're missing something. But maybe it's just because you know you're missing something!

Hi guys,
I tend to watch it like this. To me it makes the show look even more cinematic particularly with that stunning Hawaiian landscape. Looks great on the big flat screen tv.
