308 An episode of "The Adventures of Superman" entitled "The Mysterious
309 Cube," first aired 1958-02-24, had Superman convincing the controllers
310 of WWV to broadcast time signals five minutes ahead of actual time;
311 doing so got a crook trying to beat the statute of limitations to
312 emerge a bit too early from the titular enclosure.
313 </li>

315 The 1960s ITC television series "The Prisoner" included an episode

320 <li>
321 The series "Seinfeld" included an episode entitled "The Susie," first

334 "Gloom, Gloom, Go Away" by Walter Kirn appeared on page 106 of Time
335 Magazine's 2002-11-11 issue; among other things, it proposed
336 year-round DST as a way of lessening wintertime despair.

339 The "20 Hours in America" episode of "The West Wing," first aired 2002-09-25,

357 In the 1946 "A Matter of Life and Death,"
358 there is a reference to British Double Summer Time.

361 characters was supposed to have died (but didn't).
