Show season: Whole show 1 2 5 All

Across whole show

In the first two seasons, there are 3 bedrooms upstairs: Mama's, Fran's, and Sonja's. But after Buzz and Sonja move out and Aunt Fran dies, Bubba moves in and takes Aunt Fran's room. Vinton and Naomi are still in the basement complaining that they wanted Fran's room. However, originally there was another room upstairs, Sonja's room, that disappeared. [Vinton and Naomi wanted Fran's room, not Sonja's, so just because we do not see Sonja's room does not mean it disappeared, just that nothing relative to the plot takes place in there anymore. No mistake.]

Alien Marriage (series 1)

In this episode, Vint is asked to marry an alien woman to help her get her green card. By this point in the season, he is already married to Naomi. Is it legal for a man to be married to two women at once? [No more illegal than falsely marrying someone to obtain a green card. There is a fair amount of risk involved for both parties involved.]

Fran's Dress (series 1)

In this episode when talking to Fran, Mama states, "I used to iron with my right hand, mash potatoes with my left, with four screaming kids under me." However, Mama only had three kids on the show: Vint, Unice, and Ellen. Where did the fourth kid come from? [It's an exaggeration implying that she worked herself to the bone taking care of them as kids. (Research "Uphill Both Ways In The Snow To School" for a classic example).]

No Room at the Inn (series 2)

In her answering machine message, Aunt Effie refers to Thelma as her cousin. If Effie is Thelma's cousin, then she is a cousin once removed to Vint, Eunice, and Ellen, and a cousin twice removed to Buzz and Sonya - not their aunt. [It's very common for people to call someone their aunt or uncle, even if they're not really related to them in this way. It's used as a term of respect and affection.]

Time

Flaming Forties (series 2)

When Thelma, Fran, and Naomi get up on stage and lip-sync to "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," they do a coordinated dance. In the real world (i.e., not a musical), three people can't decide to do a dance together on the spur of the moment, and somehow spontaneously know all the steps to a three minute dance. [It's a TV and movie convention, you just have to suspend disbelief otherwise 99% of the dance numbers in TV shows and movies would never exist.]
