I can see the network executive conference that led to this episode: a bunch of paunchy, silk-shirted boring middle-aged white guys with perms and loud, fat ties, sitting around an avocado green table, saying something like, “Glen, Glen, Glen m’boy, this whole ‘post apocalyptic’ thing you’re doing is so… apocalyptic, so grim. Couldn’t you, you know, bring the funny? And maybe involve Lorne Green a bit more in the action? People loved him on Bonanza or The Big Valley or The Virginian or My Mother The Car, or whatever the heck it was he was in.”
