Was snowball I not burried in the pet cemetary?

This was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the tombstone in the back yard.

Was Snowball I in the pet cemetary outside of a Halloween episode?

As long as you have absolutely no followup questions. Yes. Yes, she was.

Speaking of which, aren't Snowball I and II different genders?

Snowball I was also buried in the pet cemetary in the episode where Sideshow Bob becomes mayor.

After the Warren Commission exhumed Snowball I's body as part of the investigation of the JFK assassination, it was reburied in the Simpson's back yard. BTW, in the Badger episode, SLH's dog house was at approximately the same position in the back yard as the pet cemetary was in this recent episode.

When you sold us this dog house, you didn't tell us it was built on an ancient cat burial ground!

Oh?

He says he mentioned it.

I am pretty sure that these continuity irregularities are because:

1. They don't care. 2. It doesn't matter. 3. They want to give us stuff to talk about in this ng. 4. They are spoofing old TV shows where continuity errors occurred all the time (Star Trek, Lost in Space, etc.). 5. The Wizards are at work again! 6. Are you grinning yet?

Or even not-so-old shows. Going beyond continuity errors, consider a show like "Star Trek: The Next Generation". When that first came out, I was still living in Pasadena, where I had graduated from Caltech a few years earlier. Rather than watching TNG by myself, I'd go over to Caltech and watch at the house I'd lived in when I was a student--shows like that are always more fun in a group. (Ricketts House, in case anyone here is from Caltech).

For the first few episodes, it was standing-room only in the lounge with the TV. It reminded popular all year.

Any one of those people faithfully watching at Caltech would have *loved* to provide free technical advice to the show--making sure the technobabble is consistent from episode-to-episode, and sounds scientifically plausible, and catching major plot problems.

Hell, there are probably Caltech *professors* who would love to advise a show like Star Trek for free.

So, why does Hollywood just stick in random inconsistent babble?

(The producers of the movie "Real Genius" did hire a recent Caltech graduate to provide advice on the backgrounds and to fix up the geek dialog, and it shows).

The original "Star Trek" was very popular at Georgia Tech when I was a student there in the early 1970s. Having Ted Turner's rerun infested TV station only a few miles away in the days before cable TV certainly helped. When I was a grad student at MIT, I had no idea what people watched on TV, because I didn't have time for TV. But, Gene Roddenberry packed Kresge Auditorium at MIT in 1980. I know, because I was there. Kresge had just been re-opened after about 10 months of renovation. And, of course, Leonard Nimoy packed the Student Center function room at Georgia Tech in 1975. And I know because I was there, too.
