[net.tv] St. Elsewhere Inside Joke

tbg@apollo.uucp (Tom Gross) (02/25/86)

    A few weeks ago St. Elsewhere had this interesting
    dialogue.  Howie Mandel (I think) was telling Dr. Craig 
    about his plans to get married.  Dr. Craig remarked
    something like "son, that sounds a little half-baked".
    To which the response was of course "no sir, it's
    completely baked."  

    For those of you who don't recognize this line immediately:
    the guy who plays Dr. Craig (what's his name?) also
    played Benjamin Braddock's father in THE GRADUATE in which
    Benjamin admits to his Dad that his plans to marry
    Elaine Robinson are "completely baked".  The expression "completely
    baked" became a hip thing to say about 18 years ago (briefly),
    when THE GRADUATE was first released.
