David Simon's earlier work, "Homicide" had a lot of interesting switching between film + video and aspect ratios as well. I think it's something that he's been interested in for a long time.

David Simon wrote the source material for Homicide but did not "make" the show, he cut his teeth in TV writing on Homicide.

I have Homicide on DVD, it also has some good extras.

It was recently remastered. I watched in the original 4:3 but I'm happy that some love has been put into restoring the show, albeit in unintended 16:9.
