Dick's Big Giant Headache (1) - S4-E23

Trivia: When the Solomons meet the Big Giant Head at the airport and ask how his flight was, he says that it was horrible because when he looked out the airplane window, he saw something on the wing of the plane.

John Lithgow appeared in "Twilight Zone: The Movie" playing the same character in the same situation.

Space Cases picture

Trivia: The series was created by Science Fiction writer Peter David and actor/writer Bill Mumy, who starred in the original "Lost in Space" series in addition to other science-fiction and fantasy series. They wanted to create a science-fiction series for kids, and gave guest-roles to other well-known science fiction actors including Mark Hamill and George Takei as a nod to the genre. Somewhat coincidentally, one of the lead actors in season one, Jewel Staite, subsequently went on to become a science fiction star in her own right... five years after "Space Cases" ended, she went on to co-star in the beloved cult-hit series "Firefly" and its movie spin-off "Serenity" as the spunky mechanic Kaylee.
