One of my favorite episodes. It shows up a bunch of stupid 60's—70's crap, only now that crap IS the establishment.Jack Webb didn't like the name Jerry or Gerald. On one of the early Dragnet radio episodes, there was a villain named "Gerald" and a lady character on the show says, "Gerald. I hate that name. What kind of name is Gerald for a man?" Then there was that snotty, sniveling kid with the grenade who wanted to blow up a bunch of other teenagers at a party and threw acid on another kid. His name was Gerald, and this hippy guy's name is Jerry, LOL. I agree. Who'd want to be named "Jerry"?Jerry here sounds like he's the father of Todd from Beavis & Butt-Head.

Joe Friday does his job, and his instructor and fellow students start griping about 'police states' and similar crap. The very real excesses of the police at the time are public knowledge, but the fact that people could (and did) complain pretty much negates the 'police state' claims. In a real police state, they wouldn't dare to say a word anywhere, for fear of informants or actual secret policemen.Hey, 'peeps' (as a term) is 40 years old.'It's really oregano' is also ancient.

Take a good long look at the clip at 3:46, the person that Jerry is talking to is a young, non moustached Tim Donnelly, who would later become famous as Chet Kelly, in Emergency! Behind Jerry is another Emergency! alum, Marco Lopez.
