an icepick through the keyhole

Um, Time Tunnel only lasted one season. I don't know why, but they split it up into two different DVD sets. But it was only on the air for one season in the US (I really liked the show as a five year old, even in the Halley's Comet episode succeeded in the Dr. Who sense of scaring me behind the couch as it looked like the comet might come through the tunnel.

An odd bit about the new pilot was that rumors were spreading clear to AM talk radio about "the 240", which seemed really strange if only the command center had any idea anything was wrong. If someone was revealing it, it wouldn't have been a vague rumor. Was also amused by which state they eliminated.
