Synopsis
20 minutes into the future, we follow Network 23's helicopter, racing its way to an emergency in Sector 7 - the collapse of a major housing building.
Notes & Commentary
The title of this episode is misrecorded in some places - including the Shout! Factory DVD menus and packaging - as "Whackets." The name of the show is clearly shown in the episode as "Whacketts."
The teleplay author's name is misspelled in the credits - "Authur Sellers" instead of "Arthur." He is correctly credited at the end as a story editor.
Yes, that Bill Maher.
Continuing the credit errors, Andreas Katsulas is credited as his evil twin sister, "Andrea."
The tracking data in the opening scene is once again courtesy of a Security Systems Inc. Information Network display.
