Knight Rider (1982-1986)
There are probably several reasons. Firstly, I think my set came out in 2011 (it might be a later repackage as the original used full-size cases and mine uses the slimmer ones), so the distribution companies likely only have a certain number of years in their contract. When the new company takes over, they realise they can reduce their costs by compressing the video and squeezing more episodes onto fewer discs (mine has three episodes per disc like my Dukes set). Secondly, the US and Europe use different TV systems (NTSC and PAL), so the TV shows have to be converted when they cross the Atlantic.

No, both of mine are by a company called Playback (they also distribute a lot of UK TV shows on DVD). It looks like the new one is a 20 disc set by a company called Fabulous.

Knight Rider (1982-1986)
That's a bargain. I think my 26 disc set was either €30 or £30 (I can't remember whether I got it here or in the UK) when I bought it many years ago. I don't know if the same happened over the lockdown in the US, but I noticed that some boxsets got repackaged with no additional extras and their prices more than doubled. Maybe the distributors changed, but the Knight Rider boxset is now €90 (€120 for the Blu-Ray). I managed to get the complete Knight Rider reboot series for €2 from a second hand store a couple of weeks ago.

Hobie, could you please just post the videos rather than links to Bing searches? I'm sure I'm not the only one who's much more likely to hit play on a video than click on a mysterious long URL.

Diamond In the M*A*S*H episode 'Rainbow Bridge', Hawkeye and Trapper are off to Tokyo and get a shopping list that includes a training bra (for Klinger). Father Mulcahy says, "Understandably, there's some gaps in my education. What exactly is a training bra?" Hawkeye replies, "Just like an ordinary one, only it has two little wheels in back." 😀

One Word Song Titles
I only came across this artist earlier this week, but I immediately liked the honesty and openness of the lyrics, and she's got a great voice. I've picked a live version as the official video contains a lot of swearing. This is from last night's Graham Norton Show in the UK where Cyndi Lauper seemed to be a fan, but she was on Jimmy Fallon just over a week ago in the US. Lola Young - Messy

Lulu Is a Spy??
I've just found that episode online and watched it. Compared to shows that came only a couple of years later, it looks so dated. I knew I recognized the bad guy Brother Love (Eddie Albert) from somewhere, and looking through his filmography, I realized it was the feature length pilot of 'The Fall Guy'. He played Big John Cramer, a corrupt Arizona sheriff who knocks a boy off his bike in Hollywood and then jumps bail when he's told that the boy has died. The episode also had a couple of familiar faces from Dukes. Kathrine Baumann, one of the car strippers from 'Arrest Jesse Duke', had a bit part as a woman who Colt and Howie question briefly, and Dennis Fimple, the preacher from 'Daisy's Shotgun Wedding', played the lead deputy.
