Clips from other angles are also around

Here's the video from the complete Time After Time reunion panel at this year's Dragoncon. There are also various video clips as well. I got to speak to both McDowell and Warner during the con, and saw Warner in a few other panels. I got to ask him about "The Man With Two Brains."

According to some of the voice actors, he was very supportive of those shows. That's one of the reasons that they got to parody classic films like Citizen Kane and The Third Man.

I always thought that it was interesting that created the character of Winston instead of simply recasting him as Coach (as other shows have recasted when the pilot is picked up as a series)

In an earlier episode we saw a kid playing on the stairs with the car.

Nuclear missle frozen in the sky above a movie theater showing Dr. Strangelove and Fail Safe.

They mentioned Coach's death a few times. For example Woody only came to Boston to see him (they were pen pals). IIRC, it was a bad time for NBC actors with Night Court's Selma Diamond and Give Me Break's Dolph Sweet dieing around the same time.

The Olivier version also cuts it (probably not wanting to have traitors shown during a wartime movie) but still has him happily telling someone that he's going to pardon the guy who railed against him.

When I heard he was making Haunted Mansion, that bit was all I could think about.

I'm guessing that the "Blood" running for office will be the series version of Titan's villain Brother Blood (though Jason "The Demon" Blood would be cool). News reporter Bethany Snow is also from Titans and worked for Blood.

Freaks will be on TCM on October 19th

The diner, which is apparently going to be a regular set, is probably based on New York's Ellen's Stardust Diner, which is also 50s themed with performing waitstaff (many of whom have gone on to Broadway).

I think there was a Star Trek novel that had 4-D chess. Players could beam a piece off the board which would re-appear at a certain place on the board at a predetermined time.

Yeah, the "interupted monologue" is a regular Whedon gimmick,

Yep. On the bus. Where he was able to get a seat right next to Hannah and travel for some time before she even noticed that he was there.

I think there was even a joke about that in the Rachel gives birth episode.

I'd love to see a collection of the Assistant Editor's Month titles. That issue, the Avengers on Letterman, Aunt May as Golden Oldie: Herald of Galactus, etc.

And the question is slightly on topic, as Cranston appears in the 4th season.

And Diane says that she's been doing the same thing all week,

All I remember is their 1984 parody.
