TV Show flubs, quirks, mishaps & irony

[SRUAlmn]

Ok, so I have noticed some pretty ironic things while watching TV shows and I didn't know if anyone else had as well. Here are two things I noticed last night while watching The Cosby Show on Nick at Night.

#1. In this episode, Sandra's boyfriend came to take her back to college and his name was Daryl. This same guy in later episodes was Martin- Denise's husband. I guess they liked the guy, but they should have kept his name the same
#2. In the episode where Theo wants a Gordon Gartrelle shirt, one of the producer's names is Gordon Gartrelle.

I love finding stuff like this in shows. I'm sure I'll think of more to share. Anyone else notice any???

Col. Potter on M*A*S*H was the crazy visiting general on an earlier episode.

Ok, the one I saw was a little different! It was the newlywed game and the host was asking the ladies...

"What is the one thing your husband does not let you put on his wiener?"

The first lady answers very seriously, "Bengay"

On Scooby Doo when they are scuba diving, Shaggy's hair is blond for several seconds.

I was watching Cosby too!! I kept thinking to myself, isn't that the guy who marries Denise? Glad to know it was not me just going crazy!

M*A*S*H is a good one on the Col Potter actor being on "twice" too.

I knew #1. I commented to my husband last night I didn't know the second one LOL I thought it was a real designer.

OMG this kills me. The answers that came out back then.... Makes me bust a gut.

If you ever watch Little House on the Prairie, the winter scenes are hysterical. I really doubt there are trees with full green leaves on Christmas in Minnesota.

When I was little, I used to get mad at TV shows for their inconsistancies.
One time, I wrote Full House a letter--I was mad because in earlier episodes, Stephanie had her ears peirced. Then, a few seasons later, she wanted (and got) her ears peirced!!! The response to my letter? an "autographed" post card that said "Thanks for watching!" or something....haha

It really annoyed my son that on Friends they always were sitting on the couch in Central Perk -- like no one in Manhattan would ever be there before them.

Also the fact that Rachel never seemed to have her daughter with her.

All depends on who you write to. I wrote to Sherwood Schwartz about a major blooper in the "Honeymoon" episode of "The Brady Bunch". He sent me a handwritten letter explaining the goof up. He basically admitted that they made a big mistake because they were in a hurry to get the episode edited and aired. Nice guy that Sherwood.

I was watching Cosby last night too but didn't pick up on the Daryl/Martin connection.

On Roseanne, the first episode featuring David, Becky's boyfriend Mark's brother, his name was not David. I can't remember what it was but it was definately NOT David.

 

[MelessaG]

No, it wasn't David-though I can't remember what it was at the moment. (I'm a big fan of Roseanne, and used to know what the original name was)
