I didn't get to see this when it originally aired, despite being alive and moderately old enough, because my local NBC station decided SNL was too risque for our city and refused to carry it for the first two seasons.

I feel compelled to mention, because it never can be said enough, that those dual PhDs are both in Economics.  I don't know which is the do-over.

It's a gritty remake of Brooklyn Bridge.

Those Madison County bridges aren't faithful anyway.

Boy, if L. Frank Baum set out to make the Oz books not dark, he failed miserably.  The books are dark as fuck.  But since Zack only mentions stuff from the movie, I have to assume he's never read the books.

They are often told which forms of transportation they can and cannot take.  If taking the subway was as obvious a choice as you say, it's likely they were told they couldn't take it for whatever reason (too tough to drag the crew with them?  more drama going by taxi in the final leg?).
