(St. Elsewhere & White Shadow?) OK Folks, did anybody else catch the little quip on St. Elsewhere that my wife got. There was a scene in the Jan. 30th episode, where Warren, the BIG black orderly was in the hall in front of the elevator. The elevator door opened up and Dean was on it (The teenage drug pusher and pimp whose 14 yr. old girlfriend was in the hospital pregnant). Warren saw him and said something like " Is that you Salami?". Dean replied "No, you must be thinking of someone else." Well the actor who play Warren and the one who play Dean, both starred in the old TV show "The White Shadow". The characters on "The White Shadow" were named Warren and Salami. After my wife caught this and told me be about it, I started to believe it too. Did anybody else catch this? Are we right? Randy Blackwood inuxg!vector

I didn't catch the quip because I'm not familiar with the White Shadow, but knowing St. Elsewhere, I certainly do believe it!

I caught the referral too. I recently read that the people responsible for St. Elsewhere were planning on refering to other NBC shows both past and present. Later this season or early next, Rhea Perlman's character on Cheers (Carla) will have her baby on St. Elsewhere. In fact, the bar scene that is often used on the show is the set from Cheers. -- Saul Jaffe Systems Programmer Rutgers University ARPA: Jaffe@Rutgers UUCP: Jaffe@Topaz

I also caught the connection. The two shows, though on different networks (White Shadow was CBS) are done by MTM. Later on St. Elsewhere, Warren comments to the phone man that he was awarded a full scholarship to play basketball, but in his freshman year he messed up his knee and was really lucky to get the job he had. THe phone man said to check out the telephone company just before he zapped himself in the basement trying to fix the phone lines.
