    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Originally it was announced that William Daniels was to be cast in the "Clean Up Radio Everywhere" (#3.22) segment. His part, Dr. Bob Halyers, was recast with actor Richard Paul because of Paul's resemblance to Jerry Falwell, the person on whom Halyers was based. Paul would later play Falwell in The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996).
    • Goofs
      The episode title and description of "Clean Up Radio Everywhere" doesn't match the dialog of "Clean Up Radio Broadcasting", i.e. CURB.
    • Quotes

      Dr. Bob Hallier: [reading the lyrics Mr. Carlson is asking if is suitable for airplay] "Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try. No hell below us, above us only sky. Nothing to kill or die for, and no religion too. Imagine no possessions, imagine all the people sharing all the world." That sounds like Communism to me. If there's no heaven, no religion and I assume no God.

      Arthur Carlson: There's not an obscene word in here.

      Dr. Bob Hallier: Not the way I see it.

      Arthur Carlson: This go on your list?

      Dr. Bob Hallier: Arthur, this is typical of the kind of secular liberal humanist point of view that gluts our airwaves.

      Arthur Carlson: Yeah. But we're not talking obscenities here anymore, Bob. We're talking about ideas, political, philosophical ideas. First you censor a word and then you censor the ideas.

      Dr. Bob Hallier: But the idea is man-centered, not God-centered. Man is an animal. The Bible tells us to put our reliance in God, not in our fellow mortals. Arthur, this song says there's no heaven.

      Arthur Carlson: Ah, no, it says just imagine there's no heaven.

      Dr. Bob Hallier: That's blasphemy.

      Arthur Carlson: On the list or not?

      Dr. Bob Hallier: I have no choice but to say "on".

      Arthur Carlson: [pointing to Bob] That decision was made by one man!

    • Alternate versions
      Mr. Carlson's video baseball game played "Take Me Out To The Ballgame"; it's been replaced in the late 90's redistribution package.

    Gordon Jump's single best episode
    Not one of Andy's best episodes, but truly Gordon Jump's best episode. His seen with the owner of Red Wiggler's, Ralph Manza (of Banacek fame)is phenomenal. Jump's subtleties are wonderful and his steady but warm leadership is captured well in this performance, surpassed only by the episode of Jennifer's having been photographed in the nude. In the final scene, Jump's standoff with the head of CURB is amazing. Truly Jump's best episode. A joy to watch him. He really found his groove in this one. Also noteworthy is Richard Paul's portrayal of a Jerry Falwell like character. While today, this subject seems kind of pointless, it was a cutting edge episode with excellent acting.
