Brother, Can You Spare an Ep Title?

Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? may have been the anthem of a single era, but the term has permeated pop culture for the ages.

Ten cents sure won't buy what it used to. Now — according to the inflation calculator at the US Bureau of Labor Stastics — panhandlers should be asking "Brother, can you spare $1.36?"

But that's reality. How much do people request in TV Land? I'm so glad you asked. Let's take a look at ep titles throughout TV history:
