Question

Posters discuss the "Moops" reference from The Bubble Boy episode, explaining it was a Trivial Pursuit card misspelling of "Moors" that caused George to argue with the bubble boy.

What are "moops" - which epsiode was this?

The 'moops' comment is from 'The Bubble Boy'. The trivial pursuit card misprinted the name 'Moors' to 'Moops'. I think.

I believe the 1972 home version of Jeopardy had that same mistake and the Sein writers decided to use it for the Bubble Boy episode.

It was in fact the '72 edition of the Jeopardy home game.

Double Jeopardy, game #16, the $100 answer and question:

A: Only after she defeated them could Isabella consider Coumbus' requests.

Q: Who are the Moops.

BTW, I'll pay good $$ for a copy of that particular game board.

It's from "The Bubble Boy". George was playing Trivial Pursuit with the bubble boy and the answer card was misspelled it said "Moops" instead of "Moors". George would only accept the misspelled answer on the card, and he and the bubble boy got into a big fight about it, and the bubble boy had to be rushed to hospital.

Are you kidding? The one, the only, "The Bubbleboy"!

"I'm sorry, the card says 'moops'." Something like that.
