Plot Synopsis: Fabian as a unrepentant hep-cat playing musical
chairs with the hot seat. The flippancy of the killer for kicks
in the episode was singled out by the PTA. Senate Sub-Committee
hearings agreed that violence on TV was bad and BUS STOP was quickly
pulled off the air and has never, to this day, ever been shown nationally
again.
