Count the 'TIME TUNNEL' references


I found three:

1) Lee Grant's newsreporter is named Ann MacGregor. That is exactly the same name (and spelling) of Lee Meriwether's character from "The Time Tunnel" TV series.

2) There was a 'Dr. Newman' character in the Houston nerve center scenes. "Time Tunnel" series star James Darren played Dr. Tony Newman.

3) The computers in the ICBM base (and reused in the Nuke Plant Control Room scenes) were first used in the "Time Tunnel" series in 1966.

If anyone is not aware, "The Time Tunnel" was Irwin Allen's favorite of all his TV series.
