The episodes often had a cold open that had little-to-nothing to do with the rest of the episode.Anyway… near the beginning of the second season the cold open was a pager salesman (this season aired 1989-1990) who was trying to get the doctors to buy his new, improved, “silent” pagers. (Meaning instead of beeping they vibrated.) Doctor Mike (Frewer’s character) was not convinced. The salesman said “Just put it in your pocket and I’ll page you.” So Mike does, and then… let’s just say his expression changed. Several times. And when it stopped, he grabbed the salesman by his lapels and said “*PAGE ME AGAIN*.” -- source link
