Back in the 1980s, I think. I wasn't able to find a copy at the\ntime I mentioned it here (if I did), but Wolfe said that that episode was\nreplayed from time to time on cable TV. I wonder if anyone else here ever\nsaw it. Better yet, does anyone here have a copy or know where to get one?\n\n-Roy" } ] } ] }
