…because I feel like it and it’s my blog.
1. There is now a statue on the spot of the hat-tossing location of this sitcom.

2. In an episode of this show, a character visited a city that was the setting of a film musical that actor also starred in. The actor, in character, sang a line of his own from the musical, and this was included in the show.

3. “I’ve had a really fucked-up life and I need sarcasm to hide how ridiculously miserable I am!”

4. The apartment building that this show was set in is at 328 Chauncey Street in Brooklyn, New York. This was the star’s childhood address.

5. “I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange.”

6. The number 47 pops up many times on this show; on computer screens, in serial numbers, in dates, etc. This in-joke was started by a show writer/co-producer because when he was a graduate student, a math professor joked that all numbers are equal to 47.

7. This was the first series to feature a “final episode” in which all the plot lines were resolved and all questions answered.

#2 was an episode of St. Elsewhere, where Dr. Craig (William Daniels, who had played John Adams in the original production of 1776) walked down the street in Philadelphia, said “something about being in Philadelphia makes me feel like singing and dancing,” then sang “It’s hot as hell/In Philadelphia.”
#4 is The Honeymooners.
Is #7 The Fugitive?
Damn, Mel.
And I didn’t even do the easiest one. 🙂
#1 is “Mary Tyler Moore”–I don’t mind doing the easy one.
#5 is “Twin Peaks”
As per usual, the only ones I knew were already answered. I think the answer to #3 is in my brain somewhere, but I have not been able to access it.
Is #6 Numb3rs?
No but it’s a clever guess.
#6 is Star Trek from the Next Generation on
Hazel, I only knew that about Voyager but I’ll take your word for it.
I only knew it from Voyager too. Not keen on any of the others.
Taking a guess on #3, because it sounds like something that would caome from Dennis Leary: Rescue Me?
No.
I’m happy to round this one up.
#3 is Six Feet Under. (I’m on an Alan Ball kick at the moment. True Blood and what not.)
