Episode #131: How to Pick a Winner

Few things in life bring as much organic pleasure as a Star Time '60s episode. I am confident about this assertion. We've run lab tests. We've crunched numbers. We've compared our '60s episodes to everything: joy buzzers, dribble glasses, water-skiing, kilts, Glenlivet whiskey capsules, pick-your-own apple orchards, impeachment. We come out on top every time. Well, six out of seven, depending on the kilt tartan. Here's a '60s Star Time episode so you don't have to take my word for it.
