    Episode 963

    DateNovember 18, 2009

    Alien and Human: Switching Roles
    Rick Barber from Rock Island, Illinois heard Alessandro Abate's letter in Episode 954, about the Twilight Zone episode "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet", which was re-made in Twilight Zone: The Movie.  In the film John Lithgow played the human who interacted with a gremlin.  Ironically, later on in the TV series 3rd Rock From The Sun, Lithgow played an alien who interacted with humans.

    Canadian Fay Wray
    Rick also remembers reading an article somewhere, when the original Nightmare at 20,000 Feet came out, in which William Shatner, who was so good at screaming in the episode, was described as the Canadian Fay Wray.

    The Mustang
    After watching the video of Leo's test drive, Rick knew it was a Mustang.  Rick has been a Mustang enthusiast and sometime owner, since 17 and he is now 55.  Thanks to Lee Iaccoca for coming up with the idea of the Mustang.
