   Well, "The Hanging Stranger" seems to be.   
      
   On a side question: When did Philip K. Dick get such pop culture status as to   
   get not only a series adapting his works, but his name in the title?  This   
   puts him up there with "The Ray Bradbury Theater" and "The Infinite Worlds of   
   H.G. Wells"!   
      
   Hmm... what would be a second tier of popular knowledge?  Having their name   
   used heavily in advertising of adaptations, I would say.  Who all gets that?
