TV is "zoomed in."

I own an archaic 25(ish) inch Zenith television. It has served me well for many years, but today when I turned it on, the screen is "zoomed in."

Everything cuts off a good couple of inches on each side. This happens in the two video modes playing Halo 3 and such, and on my cable box screen, so it's happening on all inputs.

The screen also appears to be "bowing" on either side, like an hourglass. No black spaces, just everything is kinda bent inward in their centers toward the outsides of the screen.

I've tried reconnecting everything, shutting everything off, etc. Is there like a program command on the remote to reset the tv? Or should I just hit it really hard until it starts working right?

    There might be some picture adjustments you can do with the remote but if the TV started doing it on its own odds are it's on its way out.

    Yeah, I've looked through every available menu. That's what I was afraid of.
