October 26, 1982 –
TV’s longest dream sequence, St. Elsewhere, premiered on NBC-TV on this date.
Actor William Daniels said that when he was offered the part of Dr. Craig, he was not only given the pilot script to read, he was given the first three scripts to read. He said producers did this to show that his character was prominent in some episodes but not others. Daniels said it gave him a sense of the ensemble nature of the show.
