Show Notes:

1. You can tell Parabellum City isn’t supposed to be New York because residents say “standing in line” instead of “on line.” 

2. “People’s Drive” was mentioned by the radio dispatcher during the opening credits of Hill Street Blues. 

3. Hey, cut the pipefitter jokes! My dad was a pipefitter and steamfitter. People don’t seem to know the difference between plumbing and pipefitting. I know there is one, but I couldn’t articulate it.

Credits:

The opening and middle transitional music clips were from the public domain film The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950). Most of the music and sound effects used in the episode are modified or incomplete versions of the originals.
