Who doesnt like to collect neat little bits of trivia about their favorite TV shows?

People with more important things to do, probably, but this isnt about them.

Hell, if youve got the time, why not obsess over the stuff that interests you?

You never know when you might end up onJeopardylacking the necessary sitcom facts your opponents came prepared with.

Aliens arent in every episode ofSouth Park.

Groucho Marx never made a suggestive reference to his cigar (at least not on TV).

Except for the part where the Storys only ever appeared on the radio version ofYou Bet Your Life.

Especially not when the show was pre-recorded.

Andy Kaufman didnt throw eggs at Dinah Shore or pour them on her head.

Desi Arnaz didnt invent the method of shooting a TV show with multiple cameras.

Johnny Carson never told Zsa Zsa Gabor that hed love to pet her pussy.

Had it occurred during the years currently in syndication, it no doubt wouldve turned up by now.

Theres no such character as Grandpa Munster.

The myth:The Grandpa character played by Al Lewis onThe Munstersis called Grandpa Munster.

There isnt a Superman reference in everySeinfeldepisode.

The myth:Superman is referred to in some way in all 180 episodes ofSeinfeld.

The Superman Homepage, on the other hand, counted as many as46 referencesout of the 180 episodes ofSeinfeld.

Not quite 10, but sure as hell nowhere close to every episode.

Ralph Kramden never just balled up his fist and said To the moon, Alice!

Hed say Youre on your way to the moon!

or Do you wanna go to the moon?

but neverjustTo the moon, Alice!

And he most definitely never said One of these days, bang zoom, right to the moon!

thats a weird mashup ofthree totally different catchphrases.

Gracie Allen never said Goodnight, Gracie.

The fact of the matter:Despite Shout!

There was no 13th episode ofFawlty Towers.

The guy apparently even wrote a script for the mythical episode that he calls The Robbers.

I managed to get through to John Cleese to see if there was any truth to the authors claims.

His response was Definitely not (he reiterated thisin a tweetlater).

Furthermore, he confirmed that there was never an intent to have a 13th episode.

Thats enough to convince me.

Your serve, Mr. Holm.
