Who remembers Barney Phillips as the bartender in one of the best Twilight Zone episodes, ‘Will the real Martian please stand up?’.

I was surprised that the Bermuda Triangle wasn’t mentioned at all, even as a throwaway line at the beginning when the Tom’s commander was filling him in about the abandoned yacht found adrift near the Bahamas. The Bahamas is located within area that the Bermuda Triangle covers, and there was a lot of interest in the Triangle in the 1970s. I really was hoping that they were heading in that direction when they were talking about the insane crewman found on the yacht.

Joshua mentioned towards the end of the podcast that he couldn’t recognize which character Daws Butler was portraying. Butler played Sam, Tom’s friend and owner of the wharf that was outfitting the yachts. I thought it was Butler when Sam started talking, but wasn’t 100% certain until I listened to the end credits and heard his name.

Perhaps the listening experience for this episode might have been improved if one had been utilizing some Sears Merry Mushroom Coordinates, so to speak.

One of the two stars of this episode was Barney Phillips, who played Friday’s partner Ed Jacobs on Dragnet (after Ben Romero and before Frank Smith).

And Tim might be interested to know that the Mayan storm god Chac, the guy whose head was being dumped in the ocean, was the antagonist in the first issue of Hawkman, in 1964.

I lived the Sears commercials. What woman wouldn’t want appliances as gifts.
