hiya,

whist watching the commentaries on the dvd's, sometimes cohen and the others come across something which even they don't know the answer to.

e.g. the real meaning of el chupanebrai, or where the line "shut up baby, i know it" (when bender get's a court order when he tries to go pimping) comes from.

has anyone out there compiled all the questions that they couldn't answer, and made up a list of answers for them?

Can't help you with a list, but I do think it's very funny that the fans often know much more about a show than the creators, writers and actors.

You should hear Julie Kavner on the Simpsons Season 3 ones...

"Is this the first time we see Bart?"

Not that extreme, but in Sideshow Bob's return, she does ask if it's the first time we see Krusty...

I wish they'd quit it with the "this is the first time we see ____" bit. Half of the season one commentary is just that. C'mon, tell us insider stuff we couldn't figure out by just watching the show.

I think it's supposed to be a variant of "chupcacabra", a rather nasty animal which has been killing sheep in Mexico & Central America.

Are the episodes arranged according to air date or production? Or maybe according to when they were made? It's not a trivial question. -- Christopher Heckman

Well, regardless of how it's arranged...

When you have Sideshow Bob getting out of jail for framing Krusty, it's a good bet that the episode where he framed Krusty came first...

Errr, "has been killing" in the same sense that the Loch Ness Monster has been swallowing boats and Bigfoot terrorizing campers, yes.

Wow, are YOU out of the loop ...
     Yes, I should have said "has *allegedly* been killing sheep". Unless
you define "chupacabra" (without the extra c) to be whatever is killing
sheep. "Chupacabra" = George W. Bush, for all we know.

They did mention that in the episode. They were even so busy with it so they almost forgot to "bing bing bing" when a certain mutant couple showed up....

I find it kinda disapointing. I mean, there really does'nt seem to be a whole lot of Investment in the shows. It's as if they are just work and not something with more depth and meaning to those who made it.

On the other hand we only see the distilled final product 22 minutes at a time. They see it all day and all week long so maybe they just kind of get numb to it and it is just like any other job. Do you remember all the daily details of your job?

My current job is very dull. It's not anything that involves creativity. I remember most every aspect of my creative ventures.
