Dear Stephen,

On a recent 2000-mile road trip between tiny Socorro, NM and even
tinier Pointe Au Baril Station, Ontario, I conducted an experiment to
determine the effect of continuous immersion in the Tobolowsky Files
on human subjects.  The subjects were: my two teenage sons (13 and 17)
and my wife — confined to a minivan.  I started Episode-1 south of
Albuquerque, and introduced it in a unenthusiastic manner, fearing
that any significant enthusiasm on my part might prejudice them
against it.  After that I played a few non-Tobolowsky podcasts, and
then asked them what they would like to listen to, giving them a large
number of options, including music from their own iPods.  They all
wanted more Tobolowsky!  This continued until we had gone through
Episode-35 (near Toronto).  One after another, for hours, for three
days.  They kept wanting more Tobolowsky.

Despite the rather extreme conditions of the experiment, the subjects
exhibited no significant ill effects, other than a desire to view as
many films featuring Stephen Tobolowsky as possible, including the one
with the notorious Alien Detector.
