Were they shot in 4k or something we just didn’t have TV’s that could see 4k back in the day?

They were shot on film. It’s analogue. They can render those frames at thousands of pixels. When you record something digitally, you’re only recording the pixels the camera supports. You can’t make more pixels, which is why “old” digital footage looks bad on better quality displays.
