I remember seeing it as a youngster on TV. I was fascinated by it partly because I was not yet familiar with the tropes, the conspiracy angle playing against that sort of deadpan bizarre thing. It made a big impact and always stayed with me. I know I’ve seen the opening sequence since then and maybe caught fleeting parts of it again on TV, but watching the clip above just now I felt exactly like you. It was made more bizarre given the ubiquity of our networked world. It’s not a madman’s dream anymore. People want it.
I just want a Dizzy Gillespie for President tshirt.
