First time I saw it spelled Tretyak. I do know he retired in February, 1984 after winning the gold 2-0 against Czechoslovakia, so that conversation seemed dated and irrelevant. Were the show runners aware that he had already retired when this episode was taking place?

And their spy handler is Shirley Hemphill (from What's Happening?)

I read Yuri Testikov after learning about him on Seinfeld.

Was it the can of Chernoblyi that gave him away?

Thank you. I commented twice on it up thread.

To be pedantic, she's in Moscow, which is part of Russia which is one of those 15 Soviet Socialist Republics.

Georgetown on the Volga!

She mistakenly called Indiana University "U of I."

Kudos for the authentically 80's quote that is quite relevant.

She was pregnant so that might have something to do with the lack of Phil-LIZ.

Which might have also had the additional benefit of getting laid.

I read that many of the male members of the Vietnam protest movement believed in "free love" when THEY could sleep with as many different women as possible. OTOH, these guys were not Kool and Gang when their old ladies wanted to bang other dudes.

I'm not so sure that in the pre-AIDS scare among heterosexuals, they might not have been exclusive. Nothing was said on camera about that.

I think Paige would have been more into The Jam or The Clash. Maybe Elvis Costello like Oliver's Army or Stand Down Margaret by The English Beat. FYI: on the night before Thanksgiving 1982, my friend and I were 16 and we went to Nassau Coliseum to see (in order): REM, The English Beat, and Squeeze.

That whig he was wearing is terrible. You could see his Dollar Bill look from Billions underneath it.

Or his moonshaped face.

Mathew Moonface. He's quite a catch.

Stupid sexy Glanders.

Noticed a mistake. When Stan was watching Breaking Away on the VCR with "Andrea", she called the school "U of I". That's the wrong Big Ten school: either University of Iowa or University of Illinois are U of I. Indiana is IU.

Either Bobby knew the password because he had someone hack into her phone or she had none. The former is much more likely, especially since he seems to have eyes and ears everywhere as he got a tip about her being at the Go Kart track. Then again, he could also obtain a thumb print seeing how much trouble he went
