Colorado is the same size as New Zealand but the population is probably a bit bigger.
Not sure how I found that out.

Would New Zealand entrust one of its communities to a Dave Matthews Band-loving robot?

… when the writers for St. Elsewhere were coming up with ideas for how to wind up the series (resulting in the mindfuck postmodernist choice of having the whole thing be in the imagination of an autistic boy who was also a character), one of the ideas was to have one of the doctors confess to (and then kill) another doctor that he was the second gunman in JFK's assassination. Which, um, would have been unexpected.

My dad didn't go for non-police drama so St Elsewhere was not seen in our house.

I have a bootleg set of dvd's, but a regional channel is running episodes, so I've been sucked in again. It's still exceptional. Weirdly, tho, I've never seen a single episode of Hill Street Blues, which is, as I understand it, basically the cop version of the same show.

Yeah I've heard that about St Elsewhere. My dad was a huge HSB fan I saw way too much of it.

… Orson Bean, who I only know from 1970s game shows, is still alive, plus he's originally from revbobmont.

And Burlington no less. Also from Wikipedia:
...His father was a founding member of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), a fund-raiser for the Scottsboro Boys' defense, and a 20-year member of the campus police of Harvard College.[1] Among his other relatives is Calvin Coolidge...
An admirer of Laurel and Hardy, Bean, in 1964, served as a founding member of The Sons of the Desert, the international organization devoted to sharing information about the lives of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy and studying and enjoying their films...
