An episode of "The Adventures of Superman" entitled "The Mysterious
Cube," first aired 1958-02-24, had Superman convincing the controllers
of WWV to broadcast time signals five minutes ahead of actual time;
doing so got a crook trying to beat the statute of limitations to
emerge a bit too early from the titular enclosure.
</li>
<li>
The 1960s ITC television series "The Prisoner" included an episode

Ben" chiming on Polish local time.
</li>
<li>
The series "Seinfeld" included an episode entitled "The Susie," first

isn't coming fast enough, so he sets his watch ahead an hour.

The syndicated comic strip "Dilbert" featured an all-too-rare example of
time zone humor on 1998-03-14.

</li>
<li>
The "20 Hours in America" episode of "The West Wing," first aired 2002-09-25,

"In what time zone would you find New York City?" was a $200 question on
the 1999-11-13 United States airing of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?"
"In 1883, what industry led the movement to divide the U.S. into four time
zones?" was a $32,000 question on the 2001-05-23 United States airing of

In the 1946 "A Matter of Life and Death,"

The time does not play a large part in the plot;
it's just a passing reference to the time when one of the
characters was supposed to have died (but didn't).
