Widescreen TV owners: Do you set 4:3 aspect ratio shows to display as widescreen?

I prefer to shoot in 4:3 aspect ratio because in most situations it is better for framing the scene if you are shooting one or 2 people at a time.

But as widescreen TV's become more common place I am noticing that many people are setting their widescreen TVs to stretch 4:3 (normal) aspect ratio shows to stretch out and fill up their entire widescreen TVs. This makes people look distorted and fat. Of course this is the only reason I would ever want to shoot a scene in widescreen because I don't want models to look distorted.

Do you set your widescreen to stretch all 4:3 shows?
