I have a DVD of the one with the commercials & muppets episode.

That would be Rikter's Angrysun Edition v1, which uses the KCMO version. Quality about a 7/10.

Rikter's Angrysun Edition v2 is the KCCI version, which is about a 9/10 (the highest you can expect for a broadcast copy, with 10 being studio master copy quality).

Also, SKot, whatever happened to that higher-quality version?

I did receive a DVD copy of the newly-discovered WBBM version. The quality is also about a 9/10 and looks really good, almost having an edge over the KCCI version--however, due to the rough commercial edits (done on a VCR originally), the intro missing a few seconds, and numerous video glitches here and there, the KCCI is still the best version.

I'd still like to get hold of the original videotape if possible to see what kind of transfer we can get of it. I'll continue looking into that.
