happened to reach that part alphabetically, after hours going through all
kinds of other unrelated music.

At the *exact same instant* I pasted the picture, the people on CSI: NY
suddenly said that they found MORLEY CIGARETTES on a victim!!!!

*dramatic music* DUH-DUH-DUN!!!!

Which inspired me to Google it. It seems it's the tobacco industry's
equivalent of 555 dialling codes.

Whoa. I had no idea! Shatner in 'Nightmare at 20,000 Feet', even???

They didn't mention the CSI: NY appearance. Someone oughta fix that. Not
me -- someone who's not lazy.

I wonder how many of those were pre-XF.

What was the first ep where we saw CSM's cigs were Morleys? Probably either
'Little Green Men' or 'Tooms', since those were the earliest eps with CSM
smoking in Skinner's office. I think I remember we see him crumple an empty
pack in LGM. I know it was established by 'One Breath'.

I'm pretty sure we didn't see any packs in the pilot -- CSM's only
appearance before then (unless you count the end of 'Young at Heart', which
may or may not actually be a different character played by WBD) -- just
individual cigarettes, probably with no brand identification. I'd have to go
back and check to be totally certain, though.

House: You don't like her shoes. You like her *legs*.

PI Lucas: It sounds less creepy if you say 'shoes'.

House: Less creepy, more gay.

PI Lucas: That's my firm's motto!
