As I promised kayla…(or rather, will have promised in about a minute), here is the thread I mentioned.
Here, enlightened dopers will attempt to discuss the things they’ve always wondered in a panel-like…well, discussion. We can always degenerate into random comments from the peanut gallery later on if we so desire.
Okay, here are some questions I’ve always wondered:
Why was Marge so utterly happy (on The Simpsons) to see Homer had brought home a dog? Where’s the worried Marge who’s wondering about training and vaccinations and all that sort of thing, and demanding about the Christmas bonus?
So far I can only think of one, and it nearly being 1 AM, my brain is fried…so why don’t you all add to the list, hm?
Well, it’s kind of late, and I can’t pop in my copy of that episode right now, but do believe JohnT is correct, and that Marge was happy and relieved to have her husband and son come home safe on Christmas Eve.
BTW, please don’t call me Kayla. “Kayla” is short for “Michaela”, and she’s a six year-old bundle of cuteness and smarts. I’m her dad, hence, kaylasdad
I’ll Simulate a discussion, using the bad comedian round table discussion group… Red Haired Banana: Why could the Professor build a nuclear device out of coconuts but not repair the boat? Green Toed Sloth: Why did a five year mission only last three years? Evil Clone of Harry Connick Jr: Does the missing kid from Happy Days live with the Mission Kid from Family Matters on an Island somewhere? Robot Q*Bert: The greatest cartoon ever made was Rude Dog and the Dweebs! Dogbert34: Because he brought someone to share their love! So sayeth Marge in my DVD copy!
And so ends the bad comedian round table discussion group…
Yeah I realized a minute too late that it was supposed to be something else…That’s what you get for posting so late.
Sorry, kaylas…er kaylasdad.
Here’s another question before I head off to bed…Oh god. I forgot. Oh wait…here it is…
What is it they’re feeding the kids on those shows to make them go from being infants to fully fledged five year olds in less than a season? (I’m looking at you, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and you, too, Family Ties. Mutant children, hmph!)
I believe they suffer from a rare disease called “re-castisis.” There’s gotta be a support fund around here on the web somewhere.
Are Disney movies allowed? Because I always wondered what horrible disfigurement Chip from “Beauty and the Beast” suffers from in real life in order for his teacup-form t have a piece missing.
Perhaps he ran without opposition, as no other lawyer wanted to look like an idiot. Or perhaps his conviction rate looked good; after all, he couldn’t have had much difficulty convicting someone after a courtroom confession, and the ones he lost against Perry didn’t go to the jury, so they wouldn’t count as losses.
Missing tooth…equals strange disease? Jester, you sick minded individual, you!!
That Perry Mason one is a nice addition to the collection. Thanks, Labdad.
Here’s another.
On “Futurama,” it’s plausible that people from the present day could be saved by putting their heads in those head-savey dealies. But what about the people who already died? Like George Washington, and Nixon, and the rest? What, are we to believe, that this is some MAGICAL futuristic show?

Oooooh, an evil Clone of Harry Connick Jr…the mind boggles at the possibilty of what one might command an evil Harry Connick Jr. to do…
