Bingo!
TCN's been running commercials about this stuff, actually. Thing is,
this'll tend to screw up anyone who's trying to get the SK episodes
on tape because it's not just a video, but also audio overlay (there's
cheering or something while the main program's sound is diminished).

I remember having a similar problem while trying to tape some Disney
TV Animation episodes -- the kids' club had a similar contest which
ran a banner at the bottom of the screen during some of the episodes;
and the episodes they chose happened to be some first-run ones, too.

As far as the person who mentioned the rumored new SK episodes, I
unfortunately don't remember who it was that told me. I do remember
that they mentioned something about another episode involving the SK's
evil doubles and/or something about the Pastmaster (no log, so no
details, unfortunately -- 'scuse me a minute while I go whack myself
over the head)...
