Only Stein Will Tell

The Rapes of Graff.

If you plan on watching ''Veronica Mars'' tonight, that's the name of the ep you'll see. Of course, it's a shout-out to John Steinbeck. I doubt that VM talks about The Great Depression, but I wonder if someone will suffer from great depression?

Since it's a day before Sweet Thursday, that means it's time for an ep list. What other series honored Steinbeck's 1939 book, The Grapes of Wrath?
