It's like the filming of the revival got in just under a cosmic wire. Hard to imagine a version of this without Albert, the Log Lady, etc.

I can't buy Fage Yogurt for Mrs. Pontifex without giggling, thanks to that scene.

Norman Lloyd is going to outlive everyone else from St. Elsewhere, isn't he?

Stone Boy, from the Legion of Substitute Heroes.

Excellent!
