On this entry Mike, Mark, and Chris take a stab at the fifth episode (though aired third), "A Bird in the Hand," aka, "The Butler Did It." Nordberg is properly introduced, which, along with the Epilogue Gag, makes the out-of-order airing of episodes both apparent and confusing. Georg Stanford Brown returns to the show, but this time takes the director's chair. Unfortunately, at least for your hosts, we're starting to see the show lose some steam and abandon some of its own formal rules.
