To Baobab Archiver:

I joined just so I can thank you for doing your restoration. I am in the US and was hoping to get the uncut Knight of the Drones that they sent you on the disc and any restorations of the music in the episodes you put them back in. For the most part here in the states, they decided anything with Mellencamp and Prince wont get clearance which is why we got thrown a syndicated episode instead of the correct one (which is still incorrect because K.I.T.T.'s features are supposed to be hidden which defeats the whole point in watching you idiots!)

I have seen every original episode of the series in its first run, so hopefully this will help you with information you might not have known.

Knight Of the Phoenix did have an introduction on NBC. You can recreate it with the video and lifting the audio but its missing kitt’s headlight scene not found in the episode if I recall. So if you want to be technical you would need to restore that to HD in front of Knight of the Phoenix.

Goliath also has the incorrect teaser because the teaser was a product of NBC, the unaired teaser was generated by Universal. The correct one aired on NBC hyping up the showdown. Probably could be recreated but the audio itself is horrible.

PS Huge Star Wars fan btw.

The audio is a bit better here.

Not sure about rules here, but please let me know how I can work to obtain your work. Thanks in advance.

Also it appears that Burial Ground and Knight of the Juggernaut are probably only in mono.

As for the A-team I would love to get the UK Blu Ray but had no idea how good the quality was, what was missing and how complete it was. At least for Knight Rider you have three releases, Japan, UK and US on Blu Ray. Right now no plans to release A-Team in 1080 here in the states…
