Quad mention on TV

[Obbop]

Just a bit of trivia that may be handy if anybody ever writes a book about the 70s quad era.

Watching a rerun of Sanford and Son tonight when I heard a very brief mention of a quadraphonic system mentioned upon the TV that Fred Sanford and a friend were watching. Of course it was just a voice-over, not a real TV broadcast the two actors were watching.

The episode name is The Masquerade Party (31 Jan. 1975)

The episode has a page on the handy IMDB site:

This brief, very brief moment of quad semi-excitement... very semi-excitement, has been brought to you by the old fart.

What....they didn't get into a debate over the virtues of SQ, versus QS and CD4?

Quad was mentioned on other S&S episodes, as well.

I heard it mentioned in a Columbo episode a few weeks ago. The murderer had a quadraphonic system in his office.
