Right! Someone has got to fill me in on what the hell is going on around here!!!!


I've been on holidays - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you - but let's get down to business! I haven't seen Y&R for over two weeks and I get home to a broken down IQ with no taped episodes!!! Grrrr!!!!

I see that Chloe is turning into a right bitch so that's good to see, I really didn't miss Lilly's goody two shoes crap over Christmas, THAT, I can do without. But is she pregnant now? Has she told Neil yet?

And what is up with John???!!! Are they not getting tired of bringing back Gloria's husbands from the grave? A bit old don't you think? They just chucked John back in but with a funny accent and a slight oral tick, no, I'm not buying it!

So why was his ghost walking around before? Will the ghost be back? Has it visited Jack in the last couple of weeks?

Is Gloria not at all freaked out that her husbands keep coming back from the dead?

And boy does Victor move fast, already whispering sweet nothing - in French no less - in YOUNG Sabrina's ear! Is Victoria mad about this?

Help me!!!

Absolutely Geisha are not prostitutes - a common misconception. So man7y peopple are so very wrong about the actual role of the Geisha, they were trained 'artists' and not just in the art of satisfying a man because many of them never even slept with their clients.

They were hired for their skills - comedy, acting, singing, dancing, etc.

A great book to read, fictional but with great truths, is Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden. It's been mentioned in the messageboards before so hopefully W puts it up because it really is a gorgeous book and goes deep into the history of the Geisha.

Thank you for your wonderful review Linda, I very much enjoyed it although I can't say the same for all of Bryce Courtenay's novels - many, not all. Perhaps I will give Fishing for Stars a go.

Roger's voice is based on Paul Lynde.

The series was partially inspired by "All in the Family" (1971).

Steve's original design was much geekier and gawky and he was voiced by Ricky Blitt. Halfway through production, his voice actor changed to Scott Grimes and his design was made to be more attractive, so he would be less comparable to Neil Goldman from "Family Guy" (1999). This design is a caricature of one of the series creators, Mike Barker.

Fox showed a viewer discretion warning before airing episode 102 "Threat Levels" due to "Cartoon Nudity".

Klaus's voice is based on Peter Lorre.

Steve's friend Snot is based on Booger from Revenge of the Nerds (1984) and is voiced by Curtis Armstrong, who played Booger.

In episode 104 ("Francine's Flashback"), we find out that Francine was 20 in 1985. We can draw from this that Francine was born in 1965, and that in the cartoon she is around 40 years old. This is confirmed in Episode 123 ("Tears of a Clooney"), in which it is Francine's 40th birthday.

Hayley says in "Stan Knows Best" that she is 18 years old. Based on this information, we can assume that she was born in either 1986 or 1987 (depending on what month her birthday is in.)
The headline of the Langley Falls Post that Stan reads in the opening credits is different in every episode.
