One was possibly the most important playwrite of the Twentieth Century. One travelled through time and was mates with a holographic Dean Stockwell.

But who was the hardest?

they shoulda done a quantum leap where he leaps into samuel beckett's body and spends the episode living in a boarding house and not talking to anyone

Nah, 'twould of violated the whole "can jump anywhere in time within my lifetime, provided I stay within America so that our viewers don't feel alienated" rule of geo-temporal fictional travel in spacetime.

that's true about him never leaving america, isn't it? i would imagine that had less to do with alienating americans and more to do with budget

I think he got shipwrecked off an island once, near Greece supposedly.

Yeah, but still....you go to a place with palm trees and pretend you're in Africa. Or head to the desert and pretend you're in the Middle East. And so on...

True, but that's one episode out of, what, a hundred or so?

still, i maintain it should've been dennis hopper instead of scott bakula (it'd be a blue velvet reunion)

i saw one on the weekend where we got to see a bit of THE FUTURE (i.e. 1997) cars make a sort of whining sound and the whores wear outfits covered in sparkly little lights. that's about it.
