most obscure trivia ever

I like to watch TV while I use a treadmill in the morning. I've been watching NBC's Journeyman this season. (Not because it's a wonderful show but mainly because of how much I enjoyed HBO's Rome and both shows have an actor in common.) Sometimes I turn on the closed captioning if the sound is muffled so I can hear over the noise of the treadmill. The conclusion to the 11/12/2007 episode used Blind Faith's song "Can't Find My Way Home" for dramatic effect. Well, at least that's what I read on closed caption. What I heard was "Miracles" by Jefferson Airplane.

I hope that this trivia serves someone well someday.

ER: False Advertising

3/23/2006 episode advertisement: A case that challenges everything that they thought that they knew about medicine. I thought that the patient was going to have a very unusual anatomy but she turned out to be the victim of an honor killing.

3/16/2006 episode advertisement: A killer virus makes its way into the ER and everyone can take the antidote except for pregnant Abby. So she takes an alternative medication instead.

Also, there's been advertisements for 'Killer Storms'. These have turned out merely to be a really bad thunderstorm that provides some ambiance to the episode.

And it's not just the words used- it's the tone of the announcer. Who is this guy? He could read the ingredients of toothpaste and make it sound dramatic.

20 February 2006: Bauer Power!

Someone needs to start a web site with the nightly kill count of 24's
Jack Bauer. Including memorable quotes from each episode would be a
plus as well. I guess if I had the kind of extra time that college
kids have then I could do it myself.

What other character has ever had the following said about him on a
regular, recurring basis?

"[Jack] assaulted Curtis and stole his vehicle!"

"[Jack] killed three of my men and disabled the helicopter."
