    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    I was watching Monsters, Inc. last night, and there's a few things I've noticed or been confused about.... After Mike and Sulley get banished, they manage to get back to their world because of a nearby village. I guess they just found the homes of kids and came back through their closet...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    My church has children's time before the service, then kids are there at the beginning, then the minister will talk to the kids about something, and then the kids will leave for the rest of the service for what is called "Children's Time", which is basically the church equivalent to recess. We'd...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    Ever notice how in a few early Simpsons episodes (The Telltale Head, Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment) that when the characters are at church, they seem to have sunday school during the church service, as opposed to before? My church has sunday school before the main service, though I'm...

    There's one line in The Mask that I don't get. I can't understand the full line, but it happens when he's acting like he's about to die. The Mask says, "Tell Tiny Tim I want to be an ??? for Christmas". What is he saying? I thought it sounded like he was saying "Tell Tiny Tim I want to be an M...

    Silly things you said, did, or thought as a kid

    I thought of a few more things I thought as a kid... In the special Runaway Ralph, the title character has an Uncle Lester. I thought the name was meant to be a parody of Uncle Fester. I think that was the first time I heard of the name Lester, and the name similarity probably isn't...

    "Muppets...Again" officially retitled to "Muppets Most Wanted"

    This is a better title. Though I feel maybe the title should be "The Muppets' Most Wanted".

    Silly things you said, did, or thought as a kid

    I just remembered something silly I said as a kid (though I really didn't think this). In the cartoon What's Opera, Doc?, I noticed that Elmer was never seen without his helmet in the short, and there were horns attached t9o the hemlet, so at times I would jokingly say that in that cartoon...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    I kinda feel the same way about many second seasons. For most shows I usually really like the first season (even if I don't always find the first season the best) because of the raw, almost amaturish quality as well as how different it is compared to later seasons, while I don't like the second...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    What's the deal with calling an actor a "character actor"? All actors play characters (I know that the term refers to actors who aren't stars but get work in plenty of productions). And what's the deal with RPG video games? RPG stands for "role-playing game", which would make sense for games...

    Questions about anything

    The character had joined the army, limiting his appearances to video chat scenes and occasional visits, before he made his remarks public. I don't doubt that he started feeling that way about the show before he let the public know what he thought of the show (though he quickly took back his...

    But did that happen before or after he was shipped off to the army?

    Questions about anything

    Does anybody know why on Two and a Half Men they had Jake join the army? For many years they had to work around child labor laws, and now that he's old enough that it's not a big concern anymore, they send him away, limiting his screen time further? And this happened before that little...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    In the first two Back to the Future movies, there are scenes where Marty comes across a bum and just says "Red". I guess that's his name... But why's he saying the name of a bum (even if he does know him somehow?). I recall reading long ago that the bum was supposed to be the 1955 mayor (who...

    Biff Goes Silent

    Chapter 6 Biff walked down Sesame Street, sad that he could no longer talk. "So, can you talk again?", asked Roxy Marie. Biff sadly shook his head. "Aww, that's too bad, Uncle Biff". Guy Smiley then showed up. "Hey, I am America's FAVORITE game show host, Guy Smiley, and...

    I know that Sesame Street posted the recent re-edit of the hurricane episodes that aired recently as a full-hour episode.

    Biff Goes Silent

    Chapter 5 Biff was laying in a hospital bed, and finally woke up. Luis, Maria, Roxy Marie, Sully, Elmo, and Big Bird were all there as he woke up. "He's awake!", said Big Bird. "Elmo bets you didn't know he was in this story, did you?", said Elmo to us. "Well, Biff", said the...

    Biff Goes Silent

    Chapter 4 Biff went down to Sesame Street. Roxy Marie was there. "Hey, Uncle Biff! Did your tape on not talking for for you?" Biff tried talking, and struggled. "Well, did it?", asked Roxy Marie. Biff merely nodded. "Oh, wow", said Roxy, "well, maybe you can say something...

    Biff Goes Silent

    Chapter 2 Biff got in bed. "Well, the wife took the kids to grandma's for the week, so I have the house to myself. Better see if this tape works." Biff put headphones on and started the tape player. "I'll just listen to the tape and see what I need to do to be silent..." Biff...
