*FridgeLogic: The idea that almost all of the Martian colonists would just [[spoiler: abandon the planet to go back to Earth just as a nuclear war is kicking off and the initial flash can be seen from Mars]] comes across as weird, if not downright idiotic. Especially since the Mars colonies are implied to be fairly self-sufficient and the few who remain are implied to have been left behind or out of contact when everyone else left, as opposed to seeing a [[spoiler:return to Earth as suicidal]].

Along with horror film actor Pikes, whose films were also censored, Stendahl launches an elaborate plan to take revenge.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: In "The Silent Towns", Walter Gripp dials a bunch of phone numbers in a desperate attempt to find someone to talk to. After several calls with no answer, he finally hears a voice on the other end of the line...only to find it's just a pre-recorded message from an answering machine owned by someone named Helen Arasumian. He hangs up, but then opts to dial the number again and leave a "message".
-->"When Miss Helen Arasumian comes home," he said, "tell her to go to hell."
