My colleague Ernie Reich excitedly told me today about a Scranton reference in this week's episode of the medical drama Body of Proof. The hit show, which airs Tuesday nights at 10 PM on ABC, stars Dana Delaney as Megan Hunt, a Philadelphia medical examiner whose unique approach to solving crimes puts her at odds with her superiors.In the episode Going Viral: Part 1 (which originally aired this past Tuesday), Megan and the team are faced with a city-wide outbreak of a mysterious, lethal virus that puts everyone at risk. About a half-hour into the episode, Detective Bud Morris (John Carroll Lynch) is on the phone with his wife encouraging her to get out of town to escape the mysterious virus. He tell her:
"Jean…Jeanie, for once in our relationship, this cannot be an argument. I need you to get your keys, get in the car, and drive to your sister’s in Scranton."
Click here to watch the full episode. The Scranton dialogue occurs at 32:18.
Much thanks to Ernie Reich for this reference.
