Now, I'm not necessarily expecting definitive answers to these ponders, but if anyone has some personal insight or speculation it might make for interesting chat. Or maybe there's some random Shadow stuff you've got in mind? |

Here's some things that puzzled me: Couldn't Salami, being himself Italian, have helped his teammates order something other than meatballs and spaghetti at the team dinner in Season 1? In an early Season 2 episode, Goldstein talked about going out with Gomez' sister, but in "The Hitter", Gomez' sis looked to be 10 or 11 years old! What kind of sick pogue was Goldstein? There's others, but they don't come to mind just yet...

I guess Salami wasn't as Italian as Goldstein was Jewish because you know if they were at a Kosher Deli or something Abner would have been all of it. |

I agree, Salami was more like an americanized Italian that would have been more likely to tell them more about a salami and provolone sandwich than an Italian dish. As for Goldstein I think he just was busting Gomez chops and probably never even seen his sister or new if he had one. Heres one: Whats the deal with Jackson having a drinking problem and needing counseling to over come being an alcoholic but, was always the first one at a party or bar having a drink and the one sent to the liquor store to re-stock? What, no one cared anymore and figured hey, let the guy be a drunk?? |

A few thoughts: In Needle, why was Hayward's little bro left alone playing in the kitchen with his dump truck? I know the family was distraught but . . . In Globetrotters, wouldn't they have to advertise the Globetrotters coming to Carver to get all those people to show up for the game? How did the Carver players not know it was the Globetrotters? Oh well, still a great show! Happy birthday to Ken Howard--How old is he now? |

Couldn't Reeves get in trouble for letting Coolidge have a beer with his dinner in "No Place Like Home"? Where did CJ all of a sudden get a younger brother after he got shot? Who replaced Jackson at forward at the city championship game? Goldstein? |

Hey Lucious, Assuming Reese was starting...Goldstein would seem like the right option....I probably would've gone with the silent Baker deep on the bench. How about Gomez's dad showing up after we've been told at least twice he was non-existent? Try rewatching B.M.O.C. again. In the scene where they bring Coolidge into the gym to give him the corset...check out New York...is he carrying a pack of smokes? |

After Reeves got kicked out of the game in "The Offer", who coached the rest of the game? This was wayyyyy before the Albert Hodges/Salami/Hayward/ Reeves-is-a-flaming-racist/team captain thing |

The Gomez thing is a great example. I noticed that too. Same thing with Coolidge. In "Bonus Baby" Coolidge tells Preston he and his mother live alone. We later are introduced to his brother (Darren) and sister (Trina). We all know continuity took a back seat to the story/issue being presented. Maybe they never counted on being on long enough for stuff like that to come up. They surely couldn't have predicted the internet age either where die hard followers of the show, like ourselves, would examine it line for line.

Surprised no one's noticed this before, I just noticed it myself... In "Globetrotters", New York is a full-fledged member of the team, but in the next episode (according to the original filming schedule), "Me?", Salami introduces him to Coach Reeves for the first time.

And another question about Nicky... OK, he and Salami are cousins, but how? In "Me?", Salami tells Reeves that his mother and Nick's father are related, but, in "The Stripper", Papa Pettrino says Nick is his sister's kid. BTW, in "Feeling No Pain", that guy at Lincoln Park with the flying elbows had a killer six-pack, didn't he? Also, before that game, Cool and Goldstein must've had their shorts on under their pants...didn't see any place there where they could've changed. Pass the lettuce, please.... |

That guy (Julius Carry III) was also in the best Blacksploitation flick of all time "The Avenging Disco Godfather". The movie starred Rudy Ray Moore, the actor better known as Dolomite. Carry played Moore's nephew, a basketball star who got strung out on angel dust.

Some random goofs observed on "No Place Like Home:" -When Warren sits down to sew his sister's button, what about the pancakes he poured on the skillet before serving the kids their juice and the cakes he had already cooked? The ones on the skillet would have been burning by then. -The day after Cool's first night at Coach's, we see basketball practice. Then, we see Reeves giving the riot act to a student about free tickets and then talking to Sybil about Warren's first night, the night before. At most high schools, sports practices run late into the afternoon. Why are students still at the school? -When Coach and Cool are sitting down to eat their burgers, why does Cool keep sniffing the bun and the patties? And here's one from "The Offer:" -No way today would Sybil have closed her office door on Reeves and Sally Adams like she did at the first of the episode...just asking for trouble there. And finally... I imagine Wally Rogers was looking for another job pretty soon after he bailed Reese out before the Oak Ridge game. |

In "LeGrand Finale", what would that goob-face Goldstein know about Karen LeGrand being a one-night stand? He probably doesn't even know what a one-night stand is, probably thinks it's bedroom furniture.... |
