Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThere was almost a blooper in this episode. While describing his problem to Sgt. Fish, the other actor continually moves his chair closer and closer to him. At one point, Abe Vigoda looks down to see how close they are, and he cracks a slight smile. He then turns his back to the camera and hides his face with his hand. After a few moments, he composes himself.
- GoofsWhen Barney threatens to charge Mr. Hackler with attempted grand larceny, Fish is holding his coffee cup by its handle. When the camera angle changes, Fish is holding the coffee cup with the handle sticking out.
- Quotes
Det. Phil Fish: Tell me the truth - all kidding aside, do you really believe you've been up there?
Morton Hackler: Absolutely.
Det. Phil Fish: I'm just curious... What's it like?
Morton Hackler: It's heaven.
Det. Phil Fish: So if Saturn is heaven, then hell is, uh...?
Morton Hackler: Philadelphia.
Featured review
Jay Robinson out of this world
"The Sniper" features a husband (Sully Boyar) fearing that his wife (Charlotte Rae) has given away half her money to a swindler (Jay Robinson, first of two) selling trips to Saturn. He tells Fish what it's like 'up there' (the answer is "Heaven"), and if Saturn is Heaven, then where is Hell? ("Philadelphia!"). An unseen sniper takes a pot shot at Wojo (missed him by THAT much), and Inspector Luger shows up, disappointed that Wojo got rattled by a single shot and 'ducked!' ("Polish people are like that!"). No sooner has Luger left than he returns, his windshield victimized by the sniper's bullet ("weird, ain't it?"). Wojo is relieved now that the sniper took a shot at Luger, who reminisces about his former comrades on the force- Foster, Kleiner, and Brown, which he often did in Barney's company: Foster "died of pneumonia, suckin' for air!"; Kleiner, felled by three strokes, "laid there like a carrot, sweet redheaded son of a Brown, happy house up there in New Hampshire," fed tapioca three times a day! (he should have kept his mouth shut about old cops).
