This has been bugging me for quite some time and I figure someone will know, what's up with the Brannif bit at the very end of the episodes? (I'm not sure if it's a CC thing or just on the .rm files.) I know that Brannif was a budget airline that would go into and out of bankruptcy protection quarterly, but they haven't existed as an airline for a couple of years that I can remember.

I believe it's the name of the SP production company.

I'm not exactly sure, but i heard somewhere that Brannif is also the name of some sort of company that Trey Parker was involved with (not the airline company, something else, i forget) but they still use the Brannif Airline commercial as a reference to it.
Jeremiah Kristal of [email] graced us with these words of <supposed> wisdom...
this is extremely late, but what the hell. if I recall correctly, I think it was said that mat & trey bought the name from the company after they went bankrupt for good.
yeah and the music played over it is the intro from Schpadoinkle

That sounds like something Ned Flanders might say. :)

Not to be too pedantic, but they're both from the 60's Herman's Hermits sang "Something Tells Me..." & The Monkees sang "Pleasant Valley Sunday", which was written by Carole King about the street she & her then-husband (Jerry Goffin, maybe?) lived on in West Orange, NJ, i.e., Pleasant Valley Way.

Wierd. I lost my train of thought midway through the post. When I returned, I named 60's songs, but forgot to go back and change the date in the first sentence.
For the 70's, I'd list the Beach Boys as 'feel good fluff'.

Seems more to me like a knock-off of something from "Oklahoma!".
