S01E17
In this episode, Lee Iacocca relocates his Chrysler plant to outer space to sidestep union issues back on Earth. Meanwhile, Barbara Streisand is at the helm of a film set in D.C. Follies, featuring Whoopi Goldberg. Richard Nixon aspires to become a film star, taking on the role of a detective with Heather Thomas as his client. Gerald Ford launches his legal career with a tongue-in-cheek commercial focused on personal injury. Additionally, Sid and Marty Krofft establish a newsstand right outside the bar, adding to the episode's quirky charm.
