SG-1 was shot in widescreen from day one, on cameras that had framing marks for 4:3 and 16:9. A 4:3 cut was sent to TV networks and a 16:9 cut was canned until the show was released on DVD.
Unless they were shooting with anamorphic lenses, that's still cropping 4:3 to 16:9.
The real issue is that AFAIK the show's never been remastered from film. All we have are DVD transfers - and filters on top of that.
