[GreenKeys] AN/UGC-74 as a prop on a local sci-fi TV show

[Jordan Spencer Cunningham]

My wife and I were checking out a new show exclusive to a local channel out
here. As we were watching one of the episodes, my eye was drawn to one of
the props in the background. I instantly paused it and told my wife with
perhaps too much excitement that the prop, likely used only because it
looks rugged and not because they intend it to actually be recognized as a
communications terminal, was obviously an AN/UGC-74 U.S. military teletype,
manufactured by Honeywell. After a brief moment of confusion, I pointed out
that the prop was exactly the same as the big green monstrosity I have
downstairs, and she got it.

See the attached for a screen grab for the UGC-74's debut.

For the curious, the show is *Extinct*, created by Orson Scott Card of *Ender's
Game *fame for a local channel here in Utah, BYU TV. You can see it at
