Obscure Things You've Noticed


- There's a paddle on the wall in Principal Foster's office. (Man, he's a jerk!)

- When Ricky is talking to Jordan under the bleachers on Halloween night, Jordan has a fake HAND sticking out of his shirt. For like, NO reason.

- The lady who introduces the band at Club Vertigo is told to "shut up!" by someone, as she is leaving the stage. No idea who that is, or why she is portrayed as being such a nervous person.

- When Angela is walking home from the cop car after Let's Bolt, she trips on the shoes that are not hers. When we see her turn in the street (same shot from the opening) she is wearing some flat shoes we have not seen before.

- The anti-smoking poster in the bathroom in The Zit episode gets more and more defaced as time goes on... starts out clean, then gets doodled on and finally one of the girls is labeled, "PIG".

- Rayanne once points out that the different mustards are about "sex" - and Angela says that's her father's doing. After Graham's first night seeing Hallie Lowenthal he comes home to make a sandwich and asks where the spicy mustard is.

-When Patty is hanging streamers for the Anniversary Party, you see a couple of them fall down. Then, as Patty and Angela talk, you just HEAR them falling down, that papery sound, so you get the idea that Patty has to redo the whole thing again.

I was thinking, if one season of a TV show is meant to be one whole year and we do see all four seasons during the one season of MSCL...how come we never saw anyone celebrate a birthday? Not even Angela's birthday?

reply

Rayanne had a birthday at least! She got money from her no-good dad and then overdosed.

OMG that's right, I never took notive that it was her actual birthday! Only that her dad sent her money and said "Maybe more" in the card LOL! Oh well there you go, we saw someone have a birthday ha ha!

reply

Yeah; I mean they couldn't show everyone's birthday but Sharon mentioned the lavender top she got Angela for her birthday. And Jordan probably doesn't remember when he was born.

Baaaaaaa ha ha poor Jordan, that was too funnny!
Yes, the lavender top! How did I miss all that? DAMN!
Well I'm glad they didn't show everyones birthday, but one episode about Angela turning 15/16 would have been great!
I guess knowing the show and how it was written, if they did have an episode about someones birthday it would have most likley been Patty's LOL.

I just noticed two things...
1st...in the pilot, when Angela and Rayanne are driven home by the policeman...he takes Rayanne home first and you see she lives in a white two way house (Two houses that are joined together and Rayannes house is the one on the right)...but then in "Other peoples mothers" you see Rayanne out the front of a purple door which is in a hallway because she lives in a small apartment with her mother all of a sudden! ???
And 2nd...also in "Other peoples mothers" the upstairs of Angela's house is a completely different design from the way it is in the episodes before and after that one episode!
In the episodes before and after that episode, you see if you walk to the top of the stairs you have the bathroom on the right (Where you see Angela come out of in her bath towel in the pilot that makes her father uncomfortable), the parents room right in front of you and then to the left, you walk down a hallway and you have Angela's room on the left of the hallway and then Danielle's bedroom on the right a couple of feet up more from Angela's.
But in that episode you see that when Patty goes upstairs to get away from her mother, she gets to the top of the stairs and then walks through a door to get upstairs (WHAT?) and that the rooms are all close together in a square shape and no hallway! Totally different design to how it's meant to be!

They live in a shape-shifting house!!

Here's a great website on the show but on this page it shows a layout of the house and addresses the issues of the changing layout.

I haven't seen the show in awhile, but I remember reading some the graffiti in the girl's bathroom. "Go Pirates" and "Vicky loves Vic" were a couple I remember. Oh, and Rayanne had a random picture of a poodle on her kitchen wall. I don't even think it was her pet. It was just like a completely random big picture of a poodle. In the kitchen of all places LOL!
