   I've noticed this on a number of the Rhino produced DVDs vs. my own VHS   
   tapes (which I've converted to DVD).  I suspect when Rhino got the originals   
   from BBI, the movie and comments dialog were recorded on different channels,   
   and perhaps either Comedy Central or Sci Fi Channel adjusted the volume on   
   both to be more equal, or Rhino boosted the volume on the comments because   
   they thought that that was more important to hear Joel or Mike and the bots   
   than the movie.
