OK, here goes;  have you all seen this useful listing??

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Twain_in_popular_culture

Among the highlights:  Bonanza (3 episodes). Tom Petty; and everyone's
holiday favorite:  It's a Wonderful Life (book, not character).  O yeah, I
love the scene in Pleasantville (not listed here) where the pages of HF
magically appear and the world begins to show color.

(I should be preparing syllabi right now but it's hard, friends; it's very
hard . . . . )
