P: Superman

EE: The Beatles - Good Morning, Good Morning

HE: Groucho Marx

Connection: The ability or tendency for time to slow down or sto?

Ah, perhaps the Easy Erudite was not as easy as I thought! Not from the Beatles.

Superman and Groucho are both right. Each of the Erudites has its own Connection to the Plebian. And just as a hint, for the Hard Erudite, it's not Groucho who forms the Connection, it's the "he" he's speaking of. The "he" in question and George Reeves' Superman have a mutual Connection that should be rather challenging (hopefully).

Kellogg's is quite correct. However, we use no puns for Connections in this most academic of arenas, sir!

Hmm. I have certainly mislabelled the Easy Erudite. We have two Connections to illuminate...

P: the George Reeves Superman tv show
EE: Kellogg's
HE: Groucho Marx, to Harpo

EC: Kellogg's was the sponsor of the Superman show.

HC: Both George Reeves as Superman and Harpo Marx made very memorable appearances on "I Love Lucy". Both are classics.
