Questions you always had about 60s TV shows

Why did every planet Star Trek go to have oxygen, wigs and false eyelashes? Why was "Jeanie" fair and blonde when she's supposed to be from Baghdad? Why did the Beverly Hillbillies wear the same raggedy clothes if they were millionaires? Where did the castaways poop on Gilligan's Island?

[quote]How come the Professor couldn't figure out how to patch up a boat.

Here ya go R2: "In Season 1, Episode 8 - "Good-Bye Island" - Gilligan attempts to make pancake syrup. In the process of screwing it up, he discovers a plant-based waterproof glue that they can use to repair the hole in the boat. This they do and, in proper "Gilligan's Island" fashion, decide to give the whole boat a once-over, presumably to make it extra non-sinky.

As fate would have it, it turns out the glue is only temporary and loses its cohesive properties after a few days. In fact, it doesn't just lose its cohesive properties, like the chemicals we tend to find on planet Earth, it comes apart in such a way that basically causes the Minnow to explode. Board by solitary board. [bold]And so, from the eighth episode to the end of the series, the "boat" (was completely destroyed).[/bold]

[quote]What happened to the girls' father and the boys' mother in The Brady Bunch?

Well, R24, the boys' mother died but they don't say how. And while it's assumed by many that the girls' dad died, it's never specified on the show. The producer/creator wanted Carol Brady to be divorced but the network wanted a widow so they just agreed to be vague on the show.

It would be pretty fucked up if she was divorced tho because the girls never visit their father or hear from him in the show. Carol must've married a total shitheal first time around if we go with the divorced aspect for the tv show.

But in the 1996 movie "A Very Brady Sequel" it's said that Carol's first husband died at sea on some expedition. But I don't think that means it's canon for the tv show.

I have so many about Dark Shadows.

How did Dr. Julia Hoffman keep her job at Windcliff when she was never there? Did the Collins family let her stay there in exchange for free medical services? Was Barnabas aware of all those years that went by in the coffin? How did he survive without blood for that long? How did Vicki always have a full face of makeup sitting in a prison cell in 1795? How did no one ever notice the mausoleum was a lot bigger on the outside than it was on the inside?

[quote]How did Dr. Julia Hoffman keep her job at Windcliff when she was never there? Did the Collins family let her stay there in exchange for free medical services?

Julia owned Windcliff. It was her sanitarium. The Collins family let her stay there because she "working on a history of the family". When her true identity was revealed they just allowed her to stay on, but I guess at that point they decided she was one of the family. Julia was probably the first concierge doctor.

[quote]Was Barnabas aware of all those years that went by in the coffin? How did he survive without blood for that long?

As a vampire, Barn was already dead. With the cross on his chest and the lack of blood, I guess he was in some kind of inanimate state. In later versions of the show, he was shown desiccated in his coffin from the lack of blood and coming back to life again when Willie showed up.

[quote]How did Vicki always have a full face of makeup sitting in a prison cell in 1795?

That's just TV 101

[quote]How did no one ever notice the mausoleum was a lot bigger on the outside than it was on the inside?

Again, that's just TV 101. But I do think that at one point it was mentioned that mausoleum was built into the side of a hill and the back had the entrance to a tunnel that may have gone to the Old House.

I always believed that Carol’s first husband was part of a secret continuation of the Lebensborn project and he had married Carol for her good Aryan gene pool and immediately got her pushing out children to repopulate the master race. Carol caught on and in frantic bid for their freedom smuggled away her three babies and was placed in a witness protection plan where they were all given new names and identities. Jan was actually the oldest child, but short and pudgy, with the new identity she was regulated to being the middle child and her loosing the first born status was always a point of contention with Marcia. The give away to this truth is the line about “hair of gold, like there mother.”

This then explains why there was no contact with the girl’s real father. There was to be a very special episode where he finally tracks them down and threatens their lives, but Mike saves the day and kills him and they bury him in the backyard, but the network suits thought it was too dark and suggested the episode where the kids enter a talent contest to win prize money for an anniversary gift instead.

[quote]If Endora had the ability to change Darrin into a toad, a billy goat, a werewolf, and a pony, how do we know it wasn't she who changed him from a York to a Sargent? (He still remained a Dick).

I recall hearing it said once that the writers of "Bewitched" brainstormed the idea of having Endora cast a spell on Darrin to permanently change his appearance (as way of an explanation when Sargent took over for York) but decided against it, saying realistically that Samantha would never have been able to forgive her for doing something so heinous, so they just didn't explain it at all.

I just started the season - post Viv.

The boy went to military school - there was an episode about it. The girl was just "in school" they didn't specify high school or college.

Viv got married and left with her kid.

Did Paul Drake change up his "shave and a hair cut" knock on the back door of Perry Mason's office to signal that Perry should lock the front door to keep Della and Gertie out, so Paul could come in, sit on Perry's desk, smoking, while Perry polished his knob?

The Red Shirt casualties were exaggerated.

. A simple pie chart reveals 55 total deaths and, yes, red shirts perished in frightening numbers.

A whopping 24 died, compared to 9 in yellow/gold command and 7 in blue, with 15 crossing into the final frontier in unidentified colors. However, it’s all a matter of perspective and percentages.

There were 430 crewmen aboard the Enterprise, 239 of them in engineering, security or operations, and all wore red. So, in reality, they had a decent survival rate, and it was, statistically speaking – courtesy of a little something called Bayes’ theorem -- the folks in gold who were more likely to meet their maker.

“Although Enterprise crew members in redshirts suffer many more casualties than crew members in other uniforms, they suffer fewer casualties than crew members in gold uniforms when the entire population size is considered. Only 10% of the entire redshirt population was lost during the three year run of Star Trek. This is less than the 13.4% of goldshirts, but more than the 5.1% of blueshirts. What is truly hazardous is not wearing a redshirt, but being a member of the security department. The red-shirted members of security were only 20.9% of the entire crew, but there is a 61.9% chance that the next casualty is in a redshirt and 64.5% chance this red-shirted victim is a member of the security department. The remaining redshirts, operations and engineering make up the largest single population, but only have an 8.6% chance of being a casualty.”

Meanwhile, I think Donald was very OK, never having sex or spending the night in Ann Marie’s apartment and promising her parents they would wait for marriage (the day he hoped and prayed would never come) (despite Ann Marie having already purchased the gown since she looked so good in the window in it).

Because it was intentionally and unintentionally suggestive. A "hotel" in the middle of nowhere in which pretty, young women without jobs reside with their "madam" (Kate) and "pimp" (Uncle Joe) and bath in the water tower. There was no other apparent reason for the Shady Rest to attract guests.
