Notes

Trivia

The Show

  • As Livingston is talking with Pat, there is a TV news broadcast. We then hear the announcer say that they are returning to their regular scheduled broadcast, followed by the theme music to the original Twilight Zone. This alludes to the fact that the episode "Night Call" was preempted by the JFK assassination.
