I'm willing to forgive some slight continuity errors for the sake of a gag over the way they do things now, which is virtually no continuity at all (which, I get why, but still).

And who knows, as far as we know Luis didn't date anyone on the show before Maria. Maybe he was secretly in love with her for a long time. Maybe they did start a band at some point in the 70s. But either way, there's no way they weren't high out of their minds during that flashback.

I'm probably totally wrong, but the scene in this episode with Elmo hiding out in Bob's apartment has me wondering if this is what prompted the idea to add that two-story apartment building behind the arbor fence for Elmo to live in the following season.

Also, something I hadn't thought of before, since Miles is adopted, and the grandpa used to look just like him, I guess that means this guy is his biological grandfather since we've seen both Susan and Gordon's parents before.
Except Gordon does refer to him as Dad in this episode.

This white CRT TV set with the green cactus on it:

That thing sat in the window of the Fix-It Shop for years! Didn't Maria or Luis ever fix that darned thing?!

I always found it amusing how these are clearly burritos yet referred to via voice over as tacos. :laugh:

I was watching this classic segment called "One Way" with lead vocals by Chris Cerf and a question came to me. For the MC members I know that are familiar with individual puppetry styles: which puppeteer would most likely have performed the Muppet greaser to Cerf's vocals? Was it Jim Henson, Frank Oz, or Jerry Nelson?
***On a side note, I also wonder who did the puppetry for Roosevelt Franklin (I have a feeling it was either Jim or Frank).

To me it looks like Jerry Nelson was puppeteering.

I'm 90% sure Frank is the lead, Richard is the Lavender, Jerry is the blue and Jim is the other Green.

Roosevelt Franklin always seems like Frank to me.
