GOOD BIT: Marshal Goody faces the dilemma of being a television character in the "real" world. He wants to bring his horse through in the same way he arrived, but he must tune in to his own TV show to do so.

MARSHALL GOODY: "Whar's a TV magazine, Casper? I'll see what time my show is on! -- Sufferin' cactus! I'm not on until NEXT WEEK!
CASPER: "Don't let that worry you! There are lots of OTHER westerns!"

MARSHALL GOODY: "Say, now! My friend on the 'CREDENZA' show has a fine cayuse!"
CASPER: "Good!"

MARSHALL GOODY: "Wait a minute! Are you suggesting I RUSTLE my friend's hoss?"
CASPER: "Of course not, Marshal Goody! Maybe you could just BORROW it!"

MARSHALL GOODY: "Hmmm... It wouldn't look right to borrow Old Man Cartwheel's Hoss! But if I borrowed one from one of his TWENTY-FIVE SONS... It might never be missed!"
--------------------------------

The western TV show "CREDENZA" is a parody reference to the NBC TV western series "BONANZA" (1959-1973) about rancher Ben Cartwright and his three sons.

The line "It wouldn't look right to borrow Old Man Cartwheel's Hoss!" is an additional gag reference as one of Ben Cartwright's sons was nicknamed Hoss".

While he neither looks nor acts the part, Marshal Goody might also be inspired by the character of Marshal Matt Dillon of the CBS TV western series "GUNSMOKE" (1955-1975).
