All three contain teases of TV show themes:

10/11/95 Mike's (Star Trek)

3/11/90 Cantaloupe (Bonanza)

3/31/93 Hood (Pink Panther)
pretty sure these are all correct, nice work man
Well, he did link to the relevant segments on PhishTracks if there's any doubt!
That reminds me -- is it a faux pas to post the links? I always do that, and I always immediately wonder if maybe I shouldn't have. Obviously the game is over either way (assuming the answers are correct), but without the evidence being right there, maybe folks would continue guessing a little longer, until you weigh in? I don't know, is it better to extend the fun a bit, or just shut it down and save people the frustration?

Also, thanks for another quality MJM! You're coming close to fulfilling the dream of the fully type-1 challenge. As you and @ekstewie1441 pointed out, that's gonna be harder than we think. Especially since we're all gonna be convinced it's a trick, and not actually three BATRs.
Oh, I never even thought to consider it a faux pas. Back when I was on your side of the fence, I loved it when people posted time-stamped links so I'd know I could stop working on it! Otherwise there were some weeks with like 30+ random guesses, and sometimes I'd check all of them that looked like possibilities to make sure that it wasn't solved yet. I always posted the time-stamped links when I won too, but each time as a second post -- as soon as I found the answer I'd post it immediately in fear of getting scooped, and only when I knew I was first, I'd add the links :) I suppose that fear is lessened these days with the triple clip + theme MJMs, instead of the "The MJM was posted almost an hour ago, am I too late??" classic format MJMs.

So it's certainly not bad form in my estimation, and if someone really wanted to keep 'playing' without knowing the answer, they probably shouldn't look at the comments anyway. I'd be curious to hear if anyone does have a problem with it... though I don't think that's likely.
