Older shows/commercials fit round sets better

I was watching some old commercials from 1983 yesterday on a round color set and noticed that all of the text fit on the screen, and key elements were never off the screen. When I watch modern TV on the round sets, a lot of the time text is cut off. It seems as though older programs, even up through the 1980's, were composed in such a manner that important text or images were never lost of the edges of the round sets.
