I just saw the Nov 15 Miami Vice and noticed something very
different.  The music was mixed drastically louder than normal
and sound effects, gun shots and the like, were heavily damped.

I really think that a letter complaining about it would be
less than useful, but I'll write anyway.

I'll bet it was phase cancelling in their "Stereo" equipment.
The sound effects were probably mono and loud enough to overpower
their crappy auto-stereo switch (the device that fakes stereo when
a show is taped in mono).  When the gunshots hit, the fake stereo
may have kicked-in and caused either switching attenuation or cancelling.

--- Or maybe they just layed-off all the good sound people at NBC.
