Misc[edit]

As of today (Aug 2011) I thought the level of detail was exactly right. Pilots tend to be crammed with backstory and this gave me exactly what I needed to understand what was going on in the show, which I had started watching a few episodes into Season 1. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.67.219.180 (talk) 03:37, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone re-write the synopsis. It reads like the narrator in the episode, and has many lines just lifted out of it, which sound out of place in Wikipedia. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.153.122.68 (talk • contribs) .

I edited the synopsis so that big chunks are no longer lifted straight from the narrator Kweeket 20:50, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The foreshadowing part about ice the bounty hunter sounds like a bit of a stretch. Anyone have a source to prove that this was intended and not a mere speculation/assumption? ArtimusClydeFrog

Fair use rationale for Image:Adwink.JPG[edit]

Image:Adwink.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Hidden/Background Jokes[edit]

In contrast to the other articles about the series' episodes there isn't an section about Background Jokes. I noticed two: When Buster is shown during National Americans/ Tribal Ceremonies an Indian is talking on his cell phone in the background. Secondly, in the extended pilot Gob makes a twenty dollar bill from George Michael disappear and produces instead an Monopoly game, saying: You don't have it, do you?, and George Michael answering: "I think I might". Later in that episode George Michael is packing his things up in the attic and among them are several monopoly boards, meaning that Gob did this. magic trick several times. If nobody is going to object, I will incorporate this into the article. Merkwürdigeliebe (talk) 16:06, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
