Who should be credited with the first televised use of cell phones? Get Smart or the Prisoner ?

Discuss.

(Get Smart certainly is the first instance of a phone going off in the middle of a crowded theater. But the phones in the Prisoner are actually, you know, phones. Rather than shoes. The Prisoner also has automatic doors.)

So...I finished LOST ( Read more... )

Wait, wait, guys. John Drake is supposed to be American!? What are these shenanigans?

...which means I need to put them in the right order.

It's called "Piano Parchment" and it's by Johnny Pearson! Now I Know.
