From the episode guide:
Airdate: December 17, 1992
Commander Rick looks at Medea, the most influential and innovative shared world anthology in science fiction, with creator Harlan Ellison, artist Frank Kelly Freas, and contributing authors Kate Wilhelm, Robert Silverberg, Frederik Pohl, and Jack Williamson. He then looks at Silverberg's recent shared world anthology, Murasaki, which was inspired by Ellison's Medea, with contributors David Brin, Gregory Benford and Nancy Kress.
What a delightful human being Ellison is. The people around him must greet every new day with joy.

the sort of thing Harlan Ellison complains about is at 7:30 is about the RPG-Wargame/Star Trek/Star Wars/etc books

Since the third installment doesn't have a comment section (why is that BTW?), I'll say that it's typical that another "Harlan butts heads with authority types" ending would be attached to any possible reprints of "Medea!" I knew I should have bought another copy when I went to Forbidden Planet 17 years ago and had a copy personally autographed by Harlan for a friend! No good deed goes unpunished, I guess!

@Jcolinsol That depends on how many committee meetings you've attended. Anything done by committee tends to drag until a major discovery is made or progress runs in a favorable way.

That "medea" thing sounds pretentious and boring.
