Re: [The Racoon Lodge] Inconsistency's

Well, in any part of NYC, there are all-night Delis...or Bodegas as they are
known nowadays. I'm sure they existed in the Brooklyn of the '50s.

Maybe Trixie had a last minute thought that she's forgotten something? It does
happen.

Does anyone know of any inconsisency's in any Honeymooners episodes?

I previously brought up the one in Norton's sleepwalking; at the end,
when Ralph said it was "12 o'clock" and no sign of Norton, Trixie
comes in, in a dress, and says, "I was going down for some eggs..."

Trixie doesn't strike me as the type who'd A) be dressed at midnight
and B) go out for eggs at midnight.

So that doesn't make sense.

I've noticed two others.

In the one where Ralph buys the vacuum cleaner ("he didn't do too
good with the oat meal test either."), when it wouldn't work and
Ralph says there was something stuck in there.

He blows into it, stops - it's still stuck - goes to do it again and
Norton turns it on, sucking Ralph's lips into the hose. But if there
was a blockage and the vacuum didn't work, why were his lips sucked
into the hose?

Seems kind of a stretch that Ralph dislodged it the second time, a
split second before Norton threw the switch. And even if he did, the
clog had to still pass through the rest of the hose, so the pressure
wouldn't/shouldn't have still stuck Ralphs lips to the hose.

(it's things like this that keep me up at night)

The other thing I noticed was a blown line. In the one when Alice
try's to surprise Ralph with a birthday party and having the
apartment decorated for free...when Ralph's eating his salad, Norton
says, "if pizza's were manholes, the sewer would be a paradise."

That's backwards. Because if Norton wanted pizza's to be manhole
covers, he wouldn't have any teeth left. Ouch.

Any other inconsistency's "out there in TV land?" (chef of the
future)?
