The only thing Ben and Dorothy have in common is a big item: both are in a coma. However, after 40 long years, Ben wakes up from his. Dorothy has only been in one for two weeks.
When "Ben Dumfy" wakes up he asks, "What day is it?" They tell him, "Sunday."
"Damn," I missed Fibber and McGee and Molly!"
(That was an old radio show, very old, even before my time.)
Unfortunately, that was end of the comedy and the rest of the show was ridiculously sappy and typical Spielberg in many regards regarding racial issues. Actually it was the dialog on the part of the mother and one of the doctors that was so unrealistic that it turned me off. The ending also is too predictable. I have been amazed how few unpredictable twists we have seen in these first-season stories. Many times, what you can see coming miles away does occur and it's disappointing. Spielberg is no dummy, so this surprises me.
