	You know, a LOT of TV shows use that exact same sound effects
recording to represent the sounds of a room full of a lot of sophisticated
equipment.  To name just one, I think of a laboratory depicted in an episode
of *I Dream of Jeannie*.  It is used constantly in cartoons and in 
sketches on variety shows.  It seems that the television world 
assumes that either a) we watch only one television program; b) we
have no auditory memory; or c) is too dirt cheap to invest in more
production company.  Or it might be a combination of any or all of the
above.  At any rate, it is an insult to our intelligence and taste,
to say the least.
