Remarkable how this episode plays like a spot on parody of recent "Tea Party" hysteria with the gubernatorial candidate (Lloyd Corrigan)in this particular program promising to repeal ALL state taxes if he gets the job. At one point in the story, Gunn quizzes him frankly on his impractical policies and his defense is pure Michelle Bachmann gibberish. The prescience on display for those of us addicted to retro-television never ceases to amaze and delight me.
