The one part of a box set right?

Knight Rider Historians has a video on that comparing all 3 versions, have you seen that yourself?

About 6 minutes in.

I’ve just watched it myself and see what you mean, the clapping is very obvious on the silent version, you can still hear it on the Turbine release but of course drowned out a bit with the Prince song.

I can’t hear any obvious fluctuations in volume on the Turbine version, though it’s not the most fair comparison with a nearly 40 year old VHS tape vs a new lossless HD master, it sounds far more crisp anyway but yes very little if any clapping on the NBC broadcast.

Of course and no denying that, I guess it’s 99% done it’s as near as original and unless you do a A/B comparison it’s not obvious.

That is true about NBC, unless it was something done in agreement with Universal for premiere night only and long junked.
Who knows unless someone from NBC at the time is on here!
