From: "English, Darrin" <English.Darrin@tci.com>
Friday night's episode of "Millennium" on Fox made a brief reference to
Nabokov. In one scene, a father comments on some of the books his
underachieving, but bright, 17-year-old son reads: Nabokov (which the
father pronounces Nab-A-kov) and DeLillo (which he doesn't even try to
pronounce).
If I'm not mistaken, "Millennium" is produced by the same people who
make "The X-Files," a show that gave us the "Kinbote" reference several
months back.
