P.S. I said N.W.A. sampled Curtis Mayfield on this podcast when I totally meant Ice T. My bad.
Video and a pic after the cut.
Here's the cover of the novelization. The TV movie was written by Gene Roddenberry and fellow former Star Trek writer Gene L. Coon. Coon died before the pilot even aired, so D.C. Fontana (also a Star Trek writer) novelized it in Coon's honor.

Hearing Jeremy talk about what he use to watch up in Michigan reminded me I should've paid more attention to what was being aired on CBC out of Windsor, ON since a lot of those shows they were airing on the network were seen through cable/pay TV down here like Fraggle Rock, The Raccoons, Danger Bay and so-on. The Kids in The Hall I didn't see until it was rerunning on Comedy Central in the 90's (it premiered originally on HBO, which my folks didn't have). I use to watch The Royal Canadian Air Farce in the 90's along with another long-running contender, "This Hour Has 22 Minutes" which I felt inspired Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" to a T.

While you didn't have cable when you were watching CBC, it was offered on cable down here in Toledo anyway for years so it was nice bothering to watch it and see another world through Canadian eyes the way I use to turn in to things like a Canadian version of Sesame Street.

If you watch the new Star Trek again, pay special attention to Leonard Nimoy as he talks. He's fighting those dentures all the way!
OK, back to the Questor Tapes...
