Hey Dearlenbaugh,  Wish that I could have watched that Harlan Ellison written episode of "Burke's law".  I would have loved to try and catch all the Easter eggs references that Ellison planted in the story.  Being a fan of old movies, television, and radio programs as well as history in general I'm pretty good at catching the topical and in-house jokes of the day in most of those old shows.  What is sad is having to explain the significance of the gag or joke to someone who might not be as up on history as I am.  It just ain't funny when you have to explain it.
