VERY LITTLE to do with the Titanic but wow this story about SeaQuest DSV as NBC's silver bullet to take on Murder, She Wrote's monster ratings. https://www.nytimes.com/1993/10/09/arts/review-television-nbc-and-abc-take-on-cbs-and-lansbury.html …pic.twitter.com/hv0HDTYnWR

(actually a little something to do with the Titanic because 12-year-old me came to know and obsess over Bob Ballard because of the SeaQuest end credits. "Hi, I'm Bob Ballard of the Woods-Hole Oceanographic Institute.")

i'm meandering off this rabbit hole now, but i'll just close by saying some of the most fun you can have on the internet is going to the https://timesmachine.nytimes.com and typing random key words and seeing where it takes you.

I was obsesssed with SeaQuest when it was on. I wound up meeting a bunch of the cast because they weirdly used my mom's office as a location for one episode?
