I can find absolutely nothing that appears to change the aspect ratio -- however, the tv appears to be trying to self-correct.
So frustrating.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

What's the model of the tv?

It's a Zenith. I don't know more about it, because it was my father's. My brother took it when he died (in '95) and then gave it to me when he got a new tv. So, it's more than 10 years old. It's doomed, isn't it?

All is well that ends in pizza.
Your Zenith may have seen its nadir.

I'll see if I can find my TV repair link, it might give us some idea of how big of a job it is.
Try turning it off and unplugging it for a few minutes.
Can't hurt.

Well, that appears to have worked . . . but I think I better be pricing out tvs when I'm out in the general shopping area.
(I unplugged it for 5 minutes, then plugged it back in -- still not fullscreen, so I turned it off and turned it on again and it was back. Whew.)

Yeah, that's typically one of the signs of a TV tube about to give up the ghost.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
