The name she saw was Prairie Dorn, but they changed it to Dawn, whether because it sounded better or to avoid getting sued. Fans have tried seeking out Prairie Dorn but no one has any idea what happened to her.

Remember that icky Martin Bashir interview special in the early 2000s? There's a scene where Jackson shows off his Peter Pan collection and says he likes the character because he IS Peter Pan. To which Bashir condescendingly replies, "No, you're not. You're Michael Jackson."

I haven't pored over the evidence for and against, but given how unusual and naive he was, I could accept the possibility that he didn't do anything deviant and genuinely didn't understand why there was anything wrong with a grown man hanging out with young boys. And of course his eccentricities made it easy for

More popcorn, sir?

For me it was the repeated "I 'preciate it! I 'preciate it!"

The Shook-Up Shopping Cart, starring a young Naomi Watts!

The Hole wasn't quite as smart as some of Dante's other work, but it would be the perfect gateway movie for budding horror fans.

What about Gummo?

I'm a little late with this explanation, but: The highly amusing Muppets Tonight character Johnny Fiama was a crooner whose idol was Tony Bennett. When Bennett guest-starred on the show, Fiama got the chance to duet with him, only to choke due to nervousness. But he had a limited edition animatronic Tony Bennett

I don't know what the perfect title would be, but I do see how people are confused by a title for an 8-hour series that only describes an action that takes one second to happen. "Repercussions?" "Equal But Opposite Reaction?" "Good Intentions?" I guess those aren't exactly attention-grabbing.

I'm enjoying the show, but the title doesn't really give a good impression. If Lost had been called The Plane Crash, it probably wouldn't have gotten such a big audience for its first episode.

Thanks for this. I get that the show isn't perfect, and reportedly it's not as good as the original version, but it's a lot better and more nuanced than people have been giving it credit for. I've definitely found the most interesting stuff to be the stories that aren't directly related to the titular slap at all —

When he appeared on Sesame Street, R2-D2 fell in love with a fire hydrant. What's next, a parking meter?

Oh, really? That's surprising. It really felt like "It doesn't matter anyway, so what's the nuttiest possible resolution?"

I absolutely loved the final reveal of what was happening. The show never quite knew what it was about, so the finale felt perfect in a twisted way.

The late Michael Jeter was Mr. Noodle's Brother Mr. Noodle. Mr. Noodle's Other Sister Miss Noodle was played by Sarah Jones. Fun fact from Muppet Wiki: All four Noodle actors are Tony winners! http://muppet.wikia.com/wik…

Terri was a better blonde roommate than Chrissy, and I'll never be persuaded otherwise.

Yes! Of course that was one of the first things we did with it. And of course it sounded EXACTLY like an adult's voice!

That thesis has been rendered invalid…

Mine was a summer job, also in medical records. But we were too efficient, and we finished unstapling all the records before the summer was over. I should have worked slower!
