Galoob (acquired by Hasbro) made the Suzy Snapshot Doll in 1991. The doll came with an imitation camera which did not take photos but would only flash. The doll itself was light-sensitive and would change her pose upon detecting the flash.
eBay Rehabilitated
Leo had a bad experience trying to buy something on eBay, but was ready to give it another chance, and recently bought his new mixer on eBay.
New York Subway in the Snow
In
Episode 781, Dick talked about the
snow in New York and how the subway might be affected. Chris Pashoni works as a train operator at the
Coney Island Subway Yard in New York, and has written in to tell Dick how snow does affect the New York Subway. While other people may get a day off, they have to fight their way to work. Trains where possible are moved to underground storage locations. Trains exposed to the snow may cause the automatic brakes to activate; signals can freeze; and there are other potential problems. They have to go to work 2 to 4 hours early to prepare the trains for service. They also use special
Sweeper Trains to clear the tracks of snow.
A Professional
Dick is still very impressed by Leo's professionalism on the day they did
Match Game Memories together (video available at
odtv.me). Leo had done hours of programming already, but as soon as the Match Game theme came up, Leo was ready. Leo wished he were
Gene Rayburn, doing a show like The Match Game.
