Kiss With History: The Watergate scandal was a major political scandal in the United States involving the administration of U.S. President Richard Nixon from 1972 to 1974 that led to Nixon's resignation. The scandal stemmed from the Nixon administration's continual attempts to cover up its involvement in the June 17, 1972 break-in of the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Washington, D.C., Watergate Office Building. After the five perpetrators were arrested, the press and the U.S. Justice Department connected the cash found on them at the time to the Committee for the Re-Election of the President. Further investigations, along with revelations during subsequent trials of the burglars, led the U.S. House of Representatives to grant the U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary additional investigative authority -to probe into "certain matters within its jurisdiction" and led the U.S. Senate to create the U.S. Senate Watergate Committee. The resulting Senate Watergate hearings were broadcast "gavel-to-gavel" nationwide by PBS, and they aroused public interest.[5] Witnesses testified that Nixon had approved plans to cover up his administration’s involvement in the break-in, and that there was a voice-activated taping system in the Oval Office. Throughout the investigation, Nixon’s administration resisted its probes, and this led to a constitutional crisis.

Miscellaneous Trivia: The very first sage-sell was introduced here featuring a voice-over by Scott Bakula explaining a bit about the premise of the show with background music used in "Genesis." Aside from the two times in "Genesis", the tense sound effect just before the leap effect is used one final time here as Sam leaps out. Press reviews for the episode were not great despite this later becoming a fan classic.

Say
What? The Deep Purple poster on the wall at the Rathskeller is from the band's 1984 tour. How does Al see the "kinky stuff" in the dark when he goes into the armoire? Why didn't Sam and the group leave earlier instead of what presumably is the middle of the night?
