Laziness doesn't make sense to you?

No, laziness would have been filling this week by rerunning a Kids' Week tournament from last season.
Or rendering the on-screen closing credits in the current style, rather than that imitation of the 1984 version.
This was not literally a rerun of a show from 1984, this was a 2009 presentation of a show from 1984. Hence, the closing theme went with the 2009 presentation, not the 1984 show -- and so it was the modern theme, with canned applause.
