Things I Don't Understand

What gets me is that when it is breakfast, there is always a whole bunch of food on the table and the people only take one sip or a bite. It's like *crunch* "Oh man, I am full" I end up thinking "You just poured the milk in the bowl, you pig! Eat your breakfast!" The shopping bills for some of these shows must of been sky high with everyone throwing away plates of food.

The bad guy/monster is dead and the victim (crying, bloody, but with the best hair I have seen in my life) comes to the corpse and the corpse gets up and grips their arms or throats. That's what they get! This guy (Micheal from Halloween) is basically immortal, dont go look to see if he is dead, run out of the house!

Watch the show smallville...I watch it for the crap factor.

And, the "girls" can't eat together, there are only 3 chairs at that little round table. One is always standing or cooking.

Gloria and Michael, aren't those also the names of Dorothy's sister and son??

Yes, it was also her son and sister. Writers couldn't have come up with other names for these characters? LOL

Also, I mean I know its possibly that they all only had girls. But WHY are the boys' names thrown in there just once or twice? The only son you really see IS Michael, but each character mentions their own boys a couple of times. We just never see them.

Another one from the Golden Girls. They were always, always dressed for cold weather in Miami Beach!

I was just thinking about this when I was watching the other day.

Just thought of something else from the Golden Girls (I swear I watch other shows! ) Why is it that in the opening shot, their driveway is out front, but on more than one occassion, they pull their cars in the back and walk in the back door.

My issue is with parking.

No matter what the scene, there is always an open parking space in front of wherever the character(s) need to enter a building.

Ever see a scene where they are going to the movies? Who on earth gets to park in FRONT of the theatre? Apparently, in movies, you are allowed to park right at the front door if you are going to see a movie.

About the baby thing, I love how they always come out so nice and clean, instead of covered in all sorts of nasties.

Actually, about babies and Full House, does anyone remember when Becky had the twins and Jesse had his appenidix out? Where did they find a hospital bed made for 2?

And for that matter with FH, why did Jesse's name change? First, he was Jesse Cochran, then became Greek and became Jesse Katsopolis. I think Cliff on the Cosby show also had a name change, wasn't he Clifford and then became Heathcliff or something like that?

While I'm going crazy on Full House, did Jesse graduate high school or not? Because I remember an episode where he went and got his GED and graduated on the subway. But in another episode, during his 10 yr reunion, he has a flashback with some girl and it's the day before graduation, and he was doing something, and says "What are they gonna do? Expel me? I'm graduating tomorrow". So are we to assume the school did expel him the night before graduation?

Jesse's last name always bothered me! In one episode the first year he talks about how he is "Jesse Cochran, wild rebel" or some such, then all of a sudden he is Jesse Katsapolis and his Greek niece is Michelle's freakin' twin.


I thought on the Cosby Show, the dad was always Heathcliff "Cliff" Huxtable.


Forgot to add: I remember reading an anecdote from the earlier years of ER in which some of the actors explained that they glopped cream cheese and jelly/preserves on the "newborn babies" to simulate their birth goo. I think Clooney, always the practical joker, licked a newborn in front of the interviewer.

Speaking of dining, it bugs me that in movies and on TV, they squeeze everybody into 3/4 of the table and leave a big open space. I know it's so we're not staring at the back of somebody's head, but nobody in real life sits like that at the table.

And they're usually hot little numbers. If you do a search online of women in your state who've been arrested for prostitution, that is NOT what you're going to find.

Soo true. I remember years back Action news in Philly did a sweeps thing on prostitutes. You can find them under the El stations and they were without a doubt some of the ugliest ppl I'd ever seen in my life. And hearts of gold were nowhere to be found.

Almost everyone lives in nice, big single homes. No matter if it's a young widow with 3 kids, they have this sprawling house with a big backyard. Except for the L&O's, they all live in big, beautiful brownstones. Oh, and Full House, that was a row house.

Car chase scenes, they drive up onto the sidewalk & no matter how crowded it is, everyone manages to get away just in time. They always hit a fruit stand too. I can't tell you the number of fruit stands that get hit everyday in Center City Philly.

Oh speaking of Center City the movie The Italian Job always kills me there. Charlize Theron swinging around City Hall in her Mini Cooper going 55mph, and weaving in and out of traffic to boot. No possible way.
