Throw in Jennifer from WKRP and you got yourself an episode of "Things to Come", another science fiction and pop-culture reference.
I remember seeing this episode in 1977 after Lucas's film hit the theatres, and was curious if the characters were actually going to go inside the theatre and see "Star Wars". It didn't happen, but it was kind of fun to see the reference all the same.
When I didn't spot the first time around was recognizing Mark Lenard in the role of an NFL lawyer confronting Carlin's allegations. And before she became a household name Loni Anderson prior to her career making role on WKRP waltzes into the office. So, all in all it was an interesting episode to see for the popular culture of the time.
The actual episode itself is your usual 6th season mediocre stuff as Bob Newart's show starting to run out of steam. Carlin was always good for a quick laugh or two, but here he even falls a little flat, but still keeps up his usual incurable psychological profile for humor.
Either way it was good to see this episode again via an Amazon stream. It's something I remember from my pre-teen days, and it brought a smile to my face.
