[edit] Rube's marriage licence

Hey, someone with TiVo should help out with Rube information from that episode where whe see his marriage license. M@$+@ Ju 02:16, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Splitting characters/episodes?

With all the information being added with the airing of each new season 2 episode, perhaps the spoiler-ish revelations should be moved into separate articles.

I think the detailed characters should be in something like "Dead Like Me characters". I kind of like the way Family Guy and its character page, and Charmed are done. Major and minor characters should be separated. Although the pet reaper is undead, he's minor.

I don't know if George warrants her own article.

(List of) DLM episodes could be another article, with one-line synopses (possibly the Showtime blurbs?) in the main article. Then there could be director/writer/guest star credits, as well as a list of things revealed: Roxy's nightmares, Daisy's sister, etc. --Christopherlin 22:10, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I would recommend that unless a show is extremely popular, or when extraordinarily circumstances demands it, that individual show episodes do not warrant their own entries. However, SUGGESTION: perhaps the episode titles should appear in either bold or italics, which would lead to easier viewing.Autopilots 23:54, Oct 12, 2004 (UTC)

I'm thinking that now the main page is bumping up against the 32kb limit it is time to move the characters to a new page.Icundell 20:35, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

If characters are seperated, do we just give the cast on the main page, or do we give an overview of the characters as a whole? Because I've seen both on TV show pages with seperate character pages. VolatileChemical 04:30, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

I like the idea of a single-paragraph, minimal-spoiler overview. The descriptions basically re-summarize the plot arcs. --Christopherlin 04:55, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Characters

I don't think we should have sections on characters who only appear in one episode, such as Penny. We should wait until they're in at least two. -Branddobbe 06:11, Oct 18, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Reaper birthdates

Branddobbe, how did you arrive at the birth years for Roxy, Daisy and Charlie?

• They're approximations (hence the ~). I worked on the assumption that the characters were about the same ages as the actors playing them. Hopefully I got my math right. -Branddobbe 08:42, Oct 19, 2004 (UTC)

Not sure about Charlie, a few older sites for The Dead Zone reffered to the actor as being born in 1996, but that could just be a discrepency since the character (JJ Bannerman) was born in 1996. Pinkfloydfan 22:26, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Can we stick to canon/NPOV please

We know that Daisy died in Marietta - it was in her paperwork.

We know where she claimed to die.

The two do not tally and that has not yet been explained.

It is possible that this is a simple error by the writers, but given the many occassions when they have shown they have researched the past (in particular regarding slang and social attitudes) this can't be assumed. Since it may be significant to the character's development all we can do is contrast the claim with the known facts.

It is NOT the same as the Mir case, which simply reflects the reality of how long it takes to get a script from idea to screen.--

Also we have been repeatedly told that Gravelings can be seen askance/ in the corner of the eye. There is no basis for the assertion that it is a reaper preference.

Icundell 10:17, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I think the show seems to have forgotten the "corner of the eye" idea when it comes to seeing Gravelings as Daisy, Mason and Rube (just to name three) have clearly been able to see Gravelings without any trouble. There was supposed to be some sort of storyline to suggest that George has some ability re: Gravelings the others do not, but other than the Graveling not taking her soul in the pool, this has yet to happen (but the season still has two episodes to go as I write this).

Re: Daisy's death location. Agreed, the discrepency has not been explained fully. The fact that Mason has been openly skeptical that any of her sexual escapades actually happened leads one to believe she made have made up the GOTW story. But until the show says one way or the other, we don't know. But we can still point out such a discrepency exists.

Cheers! 23skidoo 20:20, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Referring to an earlier NPOV edit re: the description of Ray the Graveling as being "evil", the episode "Always" pretty much confirms this by the graveling killing an innocent bystander. I prefer the term malevolent to describe him, however, as Gravelings per se aren't evil. 23skidoo 03:04, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Yes, I think malevolent is a much better word and, I think, unarguable in the case of Ray. Icundell 09:45, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Re Daisy's death 'confirmation'. The old geezer didn't confirm anything. He said she died 'when they were filming' (not verbatim, but close) not 'on the set'. The filming of GWTW was front page news, especially the hunt for Scarlett. ISTM that the much more important part of what he said was the stuff about her coming to the Stork Club most nights (implies to me she was a hooker, but not strongly enough to include it in the entry). Icundell 09:51, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Cultural references

DLM seems to have a lot of references, so I just started a section on cultural references in DLM, patterned after Foolip et al.'s References in Star Trek article:

The writers of Star Trek have often made use of existing culture, sometimes as a central plot element and sometimes as a minor reference for the attentive viewer to pick up on. The references listed here need not be cultural – historical references or other noteworthy references are also listed.

I did these from memory, with a copy of season two to check accuracy where possible. I also used the TVTome and IMDb entries.

The addition pushes the whole page above 32kb, so a separate article might be better for some users. --Christopherlin 20:54, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

New page seems like a sound idea to me. The article is getting long. Icundell 10:14, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Moved it to List of references in Dead Like Me. Christopherlin 20:15, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Good call. Now that the season is over there should be less week-to-week additions, so maybe this is a good time to edit down or split the article into appropriate pages. BTW as a relative newcomer to Wikipedia I'd like to compliment all involved on the collaborative work done on updating the article during the season. (Good catch whoever spotted Roxy's full name on her police badge!). 23skidoo 16:58, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Much as I'd like to claim credit, it was a poster on deadlikemonline.com who spotted Roxy's details - there's a screen cap posted in their message board if you fancy a rummage. I think there is a case for simple things - like putting the various names (especially the living) in a more sensible running order. Is there a case for 'episodes' going onto a seperate page? Oh, and I second the congrats all round :-) Icundell 09:42, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] References from 'Always' in character bios.

In Crystals Bio it reads "In "Always" it was revealed that she is fluent in Spanish, French, Russian and Swahili, and that she was also a member of the Special Forces." I assumed when watching this episode that this was George imagining what lies she might have told Dolorous, not a fact. George likes Crystal and so imagines that she gets away with it, while she doesn't like Misty so imagines something bad being the truth about her. Djarra 20:07, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

I'm thinking of adding the cleanup tag to the article. This applies to the whole article, but particularly the beginning paragraphs need to be revised. Anybody agree/disagree? Firestorm 01:31, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rube Sofer

did anyone realize that "Sofer" means "scribe"? I just saw this because i was reading on the page mezuzah. Interesting connection that he is the one who writes the post its for the reapers.

M@$+@ Ju 9 July 2005 12:55 (UTC)

[edit] Head reaper

This was added by 69.158.34.176:

Head Reaper-all that is known is that the Head Reaper is a female. Fans have often theorized that the Head Reaper is Kiffany, the waitress from Der Waffe Haus or Crystal, the receptionist at Happy Time Temp Agency

In two seasons, there was never explicit talk of a "head reaper". All we got was that there was death, with various levels of development. Kiffany and Crystal seem to know more than most, but I am not aware of any extension of that. --Christopherlin 02:53, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

Kiffany? Is this the same waitress who had to ask what happened to the Der Waffle Haus sign after it fell on a co-worker? And who then said, "I didn't know him"? McGehee 17:40, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

I almost removed that myself, because such fan speculation is not encyclopedic. I paused mainly because I was wondering where the assertion that the "Head Repear is a female" came from, which I can't easily check at the moment. Can anyone cite an instance in one or more episodes that makes this clear? I was under the impression that we know essentially nothing about the overall Reaper hierarchy, just that someone (some thing?) gives Rube his lists. Who knows who they might be, if it's the same person each time, where they might be in the scheme, or how big the organization is? All we should include is stuff presented within the existing episodes (and perhaps clarification provided in cast & crew commentaries, assuming we can filter out the truth from the frequent jokes in those sources). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:22, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

I think some people jump to this conclusion because Rube once tried to cook dinner for two for the list deliverer. In fact we don't even know that the deliverer is Rube's boss. He/she might be the undead equivalent of a postman. Icundell 13:57, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

I think we do know they're his boss, or at least more than a postman. In "A Cook" when he gets the list, and obviously reads "A. Cook" on the list he shouts at the deliverer "What the fuck is wrong with you" implying the person who delivers it also makes it. - RedHotHeat 20:50, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

But it's quite possible Rube's "you" is second-person plural; i.e., "what's wrong with you [people]?". As it stands, without even a glimpse of who he's addressing and no clear connection to or hint of who is the authority, it's still just speculation. It seems certain that this ambiguity is intentional on the part of the writers, suggesting that they want to have suprises to reveal in future episodes (although that apparently won't happen now), so it's presumptuous of us to attempt to write in these details in advance of actual story development. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:21, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

I removed this item added by Pinkfloydfan, the third edit from this account.

"Fans on the IMDb Boards often debate the identity of the head reaper(who gives Rube the death list); all that is known is that the head reaper is female, based on this, many fans have claimed the either Crystal, the Happy Time Receptionist or Kiffany the waitress are the two most likely choices."

See WP:FICT for fiction guidelines. Fan speculation is just that. I'd like to see what sort of evidence from the show is given in support of the idea of a "head reaper", much less for said head reaper to be a character seen elsewhere in the show. --Christopherlin 04:44, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Completely agree with the removal - it is pure fanwank. There is not even any canonical evidence that the person delivering the list is the head reaper and without that everything else is moot. Icundell 01:44, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

I see someone put this nonsense back in. Ho hum. RVed. Icundell 01:37, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

The main reason I said the Head Reaper is female is because at one point when the list was given to Rube(I don't remember the exact episode), there is a glimpse of what appears to be a dress and high heeled shoes. The dress may simply be the stereotypical robe of the Grim Reaper, but the high heels, in my opinion, prove the Head Reapers is either: A) A female OR B) A transvestite - Pinkfloydfan 23:24 9 January 2006

Pinkfloydfan, it doesn't matter if the person you saw is Dr. Frank-N-Furter, there is absolutely nothing in that scene or in the entire series that makes clear who the supposed Head Reaper is, or even if there is one. Please carefully re-read the above discussion and link thoughtfully provided to see (A) why seeing a person giving Rube the list is not proving the existence of a Head Reaper, and (B) why fan discussion is not an acceptable source for Wikipedia articles. If you have any questions about this policy, feel free to post a note on my talk page and I'll discuss it with you in depth. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 05:56, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Upon re-reading this, discussion, I realized I should probably drop that idea. Most of that crap I put was written in a sleep-deprived state of mind anyways. Pinkfloydfan 03:25, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Error of which

On the IE/UK Season 1 box, for the episode "Rest in Peace" it says its George's 1st anniversary. Is this correct? Cause if it is, wouldn't they have passed Halloween by in the 1st Season, meaning that even if they don't show it, George should already have known about the face thing. Is this a box error, or a plot error? - RedHotHeat 19:02, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

I think its a plot hole, its common shows with short runs or large gaps between airdates, a couple episode of "Firefly" have had plot holes. - Pinkfloydfan 23:23, 09 January, 2006

[edit] "Der Waffle Haus" joke

Do we have a source for the following statement?

This is generally considered as a deliberate joke by the writers, since the original script had the names "Das Waffle Haus".

The phrase "generally considered" makes this sound like a fan speculation, not a documented fact. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 15:30, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "Recently"

The article features the word "recently" numerous times, but considering the series has been cancelled a while ago, it doesn't seem like the right word anymore. I think better would be "later in the series" or something similar. Retodon8 12:58, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Petition

Removed 19 Dec 2005.

70.110.142.239, a similar (or the same) link was added a while back, and IIRC, the consensus was to keep it off the encyclopedia page (article).

There is also a petition going on at http://www.petitiononline.com/dlm1218 to continue the show

--Christopherlin 01:06, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

The petition is futile. Despite being an amazing show, I don't think the show will ever come back in the same form. If the reruns build up a larger fan base, a similar show may come back like Star Trek did. Just look at all the variation of CSI shows, the Charlie's Angel come backs, the same theme can be done with a different team of grim reapers with a different story line. I guess one big factor is that the original DLM was on ShowTime which is a premium channel and the fan base was limited. Now it is rerun on SciFi channel which is also cable TV not available to all audience. If this show starts to be rerun on the syndicate including those broadcast-over-the-air local channels, then there would be a slight chance the fan base would build up to a critical mass. Kowloonese 21:05, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] December 2005 cleanup tag

Article was tagged cleanup by Sound of a desire on 17 December 2005, with this in the edit summary: Style is heavy without rythm (e.g article on Mason) --Christopherlin 19:37, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Peanut Poppies

It says on the main page that Roxy is probably a Southerner because of her passion for Peanut Poppies. Wasn't she given thePeanut Poppies by the guy she had a Post-It for a year later and then stopped his death by breaking in to his house and cutting the power?Pinkfloydfan 03:27, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

And if you listen to the VO it is stated that Peanut Poppies were especially popular in certain southern states. Icundell 11:52, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

That may be true, but the voice over says that the guy Roxy was ticketing got them from his mother in south on birthdays and holidays. Pinkfloydfan 15:28, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

But the implication is about where she got the taste for them. Icundell 17:45, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] How did the series end?

Did this series end abruptly? Like being cancelled by the network unexpectedly? Like having a cliff hanger in the last episode of the season but never returned in the next season? I watched the first season, but not the second after I cancelled subscription to Showtime. I thought the show was pretty interesting and it should have lasted more than two seaons. Kowloonese 02:53, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Not exactly a cliffhanger. But to put it simply, No, it didn't finish properly. It left a large amount of loose-ends, but didn't exactly have a cliffhanger (actually the last episode created quite a few loose ends itself!). - ^R_H^e_o^d_t 20:20, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the answer. Creating loose ends serves as a mild form of cliffhangers, it makes the audience to crave for the next season. Based on your description, I guess the show was cancelled unexpectedly, at least the writers and the networks didn't plan the ending nicely. Kowloonese 00:42, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

It was definitely unexpected. The behind the scenes feature on the DVDs of the second season has the cast talking about how great the second season was and how the show is getting better and better, and they definitely have no idea it's over. Pacian 05:02, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Since the show was taped in HDTV, I wonder are the DVDs available in widescreen format? Kowloonese 22:50, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

No the DVDs are full screen. Pacian 05:05, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

The Region 1 DVDs, according to Amazon.com, are anamorphic, 1.78:1 (16:9). --Christopherlin 06:16, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

The show was ended by Showtime who wasn't producing the show, and they don't like airing good rating shows that aren't produced by them. I can't remember who produced it but I know it wasn't Showtime.

--Xtopher 09:07, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

MGM produced it.--86.43.64.115 13:30, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

You said it was a good rating show. It is against common wisdom to cancel a good rating show. There must be some other reasons, such as strong competition at the time, labor dispute etc.. Can someone quote what the rating was and how other competitors were doing at the time? Kowloonese 20:45, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Where does it say the show was canceled?

Seems like a small point, but shouldn't that fact be stated somewhere in the article? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 02:26, 27 June 2006 (talk • contribs) Landroo.

[edit] Cannon facts

From the current edit: "Reapers have no special powers except fast healing, yet at one point reapers sit on a virtually unclimbable tower in the middle of the city without being noticed in broad daylight."

In the pilot, Ruben explains to George that he (and other reapers) can choose to be corporeal or not corporeal. The part about being on top of a building isn't explained, but the rest is :) -Kf4hzu 05:32, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

• Actually, Rube states (in the first episode) that as an undead person, he has a physical body, and if he chooses he can interact with the living, not that he chooses (or not chooses) to have a physical body.--66.189.252.154 06:47, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

• Kf4hzu, I think you mean "canon" facts (A cannon is a gun; canon is something entirely different) and "corporeal" form. :) Runa27 07:52, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Kf4zhu, Reapers can interact with the living (IE: Talk) but they are not supposed to (Interferance). The only ability they have is healing. They cant change there state etc. Matthew Fenton (contribs) 07:55, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sci-Fi Channel is running an expanded version of DLM.

Dead Like Me premiered on Sci-Fi Channel on July 18th, 2006 with the pilot episode. However the episode is now two hours long and includes many of the deleted scenes featured on the DVD release. Some of the new scenes are George getting her new identity papers at the DMV (BTW... There is no DMV in Seattle. Here it's the Department of Licensing or DOL.), George seeing the Plague Boys in the park, George seeing other reapers during a bus ride and numerous other smaller scenes. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 03:54, 19 July 2006 (talk • contribs) 70.57.68.12.

Thanks for the tip, I'll set my DVR on Sci-Fi channel. I've already seen the first season on Showtime in HDTV, watching it again on SciFi in standard TV would really "blur" my memory.  :-) I look forward to the second season that I missed. Kowloonese 00:17, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orange frogs

Could somebody explain the orange frogs? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.137.102.73 (talk • contribs) 23:39, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Its georges pet and now its Reggies. Matthew Fenton (contribs) 15:52, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

• On the pilot episode George does a voice over talkinga bout how God(with a lower case "g") gave a frog a jar that contained Death, however, the frog gave a toad the jar, and the toad broke it. The frog George gave to Reggie after JD died is a reference to this story. Pinkfloydfan 14:24, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

• • Didn't she acquire that frog from the little girl who died in a train crash? I may be wrong, I watched that so long ago. Kowloonese 23:59, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

• • • Couple minor notes: to answer Kowloonese, yes George got the toad from the little girl. And I re-watched the Pilot last night, in my last reply, I mixed up the two amphibians; toad had the jar, frog broke it(George quips: "Makes you wish frog had stuck to hawking beer") Pinkfloydfan 02:05, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

• • • • Specifically, a few episodes in (don't recall which one, but it's not the second and I don't think it's the third), George finds that she has the toad (someone--I think maybe Betty?--asks her about it), and George speculates that it followed her all the way back from the train wreck, so George assumes that the toad is the same one that the little girl in the train wreck had, though we're given to believe that she's right.192.128.134.68 21:38, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

• • • • All-time preferred citation: "Frog... Was an asshole".--SidiLemine 12:03, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

The orange frog was in the pilot and then appeared briefly in each episode after that until George buys the terrarium for the frog. I thought the frog wasn't really visible by anyone until she mentioned she wanted the terrarium. She didn't get the frog from the girl. -Jennifer 216.27.13.231 22:10, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please use proper order and sign talk page postings

I've just untangled some chronological problems with this talk page, due to (A) failure to use the new-topic (+) tab to start new discussions, and (B) failure to sign talk page postings with four tildes (----), which automatically add a timestamp (as well as a username/IP) to a posting. The main purpose of talk pages is to review and discuss article content as it is developed. It is very important that these discussions follow a chronological flow, as they often refer to one another or deal with the consequences of previous discussions. Furthermore, many editors assume that discussions only matter to the individuals involved, but for every active participant, there are many more who will be reading this months or even years from now to understand the reasons for existing content and avoid duplicating earlier discussions.

Editors should not change the content of others' talk-page postings, of course, but they can serve the community well by ensuring the discussions (A) follow proper talk-page order, (B) have headings when the topics change, and (C) have timestamped signatures to make it easier not only to follow the discussion in time, but also to know who to have offline discussions with if desired. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 15:57, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

P.S. I've added a {{talkheader}} to the top of this discussion page to help avoid future problems. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 16:02, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia: Reference to 42

I may be mistaken but Rube's room number is 41 and as him being the head of the group and the one receiving the ETD it puts him pretty close to the next step or in other words: he just one step short of The Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything, meaning 42. It was just a random thought that occured to me and I'm still not done watching the show so it could be nonsense altogether. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Edao (talk • contribs) 21:21, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

I dont remember any refs to 42! Matthew Fenton (contribs) 21:23, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Edao, your speculation is what's known as original research, and it's a no-no at Wikipedia. That's a serious problem with much of the "Trivia" items in any article, especially for TV shows. Many editors have the mistaken idea that anything they notice that's even peripherally connected to the show is acceptable for inclusion. But at best, trivia sections should include information specifically about the show that doesn't fit well into the main flow of the article, and should always have a cited source. It's a challenge, I know, but we must keep working at it. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 21:52, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Date Confusion

According to the article, Betty died in 1926 and Rube died in 1927. However, Rube was there and already undead when Betty died, so this can't be correct... Michaelritchie200 12:16, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

I cant remember Rube's death actually ever being mentioned.. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 12:24, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Watching series one on DVD again. Betty got her ring in 1927 as well. I haven't seen anything about Rube's death at all, but it's apparently over eighty years. Michaelritchie200 14:33, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Mason tells George of a bet between Penny, himself, and other reapers to guess when Rube died, and George answers "1927" very confidently, then declares that Mason owes her money for winning the bet.EdenMaster 05:36, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Dead Like Me characters

Do we really need this cat.? I decided against creating one when I created some of the articles due to there not being a lot - Someone has just created the category however, opinions? Matthew Fenton (talk) 17:38, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

im not quite sure of this, but i think mason is mason's last name. in the episode forget me not in season two when mason is boxing, he says ken mason.

[edit] just wondering

its not for improving the article, i really dont care either, to many are for that compared to the fact other wiki's dont do that. whats the name of the song thats played when rube gets the list with George's name on it, and the 1 in the bank scene after the explosion., both these are from episode 1.--Cody6 22:04, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

[edit] Theme music

First I thought the theme music was specifically written for the series, but recently I've heard it in use elsewhere as well. Could of course be that they simply used it from Dead like me, but if it isn't, I'd like to know who wrote it and what its title is! -- MiG 13:38, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

The title sequence music is, as far as I know, original by Stewart Copeland. Some of the songs in the soundtrack are "Que Sera Sera" by Pink Martini (pilot, toward the end and through the credits); "Hell" by Squirrel Nut Zippers (pilot, funeral and bank); "Boom Boom Ba" by Metisse ("Reaping Havoc" as George goes through her "Mysterious and Reassuring" scrapbook). --Christopherlin 17:42, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

hey, you may have answerd this, but whats the name of the song that plays through the series, it first plays when rube gets goerges post it note in episode one. --Cody6 20:54, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moved from page

The reapers' regular hangout, Der Waffle Haus, is said in one episode to be at 782 Oak St., which is not an address in Seattle but there is such an address in both Victoria and Vancouver, BC. [This is not correct; Oak Street in Vancouver starts in the 2100 block.] Moved an IP user's edit to this page Dmanning 04:56, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
