I know I've watched both episodes but don't really remember either.  I 
suspect the hour long episodes got much less air play in syndication, so 
perhaps I only watched them two or three times compared to the umpteen 
times I watched most of the other episodes.  Just a guess.  I'll get a 
better sense once you dive into the other hour longs if they are more 
memorable or not.
