I thought that was the dropout compensation kicking in (repeating lines but a more severe case). A friend of mine who worked at the station told me that they were using analog tape most of the time because they couldn't afford to make a move to digital completely yet (around 2000-2001).

Yes, the capture is from a DVD and was resized, this exact frame also appears at least on another version of the series that was on VCD (they were both international (United States) versions but the domestic broadcast had a clean frame, so I assume the master tape for the international version might be bad).
This image is also said to be a Betacam dropout: (originally from
here)
