More Scooby-Doo Movies Glitches: Sandy Duncan

There are more mistakes abroad when Scooby-Doo meets Sandy Duncan, like these:

We can see the phantom through the hedge, which could make sense, as it's just a prop. But Scooby's not visible behind the same hedge.

We know that can't be a coin slot in an Egyptian sarcophagus, not even in a phony prop; but then, what is it?

You might have to freeze-frame on the dog sled to see this: Velma sits down in an impossible pose in relation to the side rails, so that she's between the rails and behind those on the far side at the same time, kind of like an M.C. Escher print. Then the side rails disappear altogether, probably because the animator got so confused he just left them out. More glitches...

The Incredible Jack McGee -- An Episode Guide

If you're like most people of a certain age, you tuned in to The Incredible Hulk every week to see what the Creature would smash this episode. Some, no doubt, also watched the show to catch David's transformation and surname of the week. But there were a few who knew the real reason to view the series: Jack McGee. The intrepid reporter didn't appear in every episode, but he kept things lively, forcing Banner to come up with ever-more-creative methods for dodging exposure.

This episode guide is for McGee-lovers everywhere.

The Incredible Hulk pilot

Intrepid reporter Jack McGee makes multiple requests to gain an interview with scientists David Banner and Elaina Marks for The National Register, a cheap, sensationalist newspaper beneath his talents. The scientists are studying human strength enhancement, but they refuse to grant him an interview. Jack even visits Dr. Marks's home, though it does him no good. When Dr. Banner's car is found smashed in a ditch, McGee investigates and finds enormous footprints at the scene. He further interviews a man and his young daughter who report an encounter with a 7-foot hulking greenish creature. McGee confronts Banner and Marks with a plaster cast of the prints, but they deny any knowledge of the Hulk. Convinced that the scientists are hiding something, McGee sneaks into their lab to learn more, finding evidence that the Creature had been there. Banner returns and finds Jack there, escorting the reporter outside just before the building explodes and McGee is knocked senseless. He comes to just in time to get his first look at the Hulk, which emerges from the blaze carrying Dr. Marks. McGee tries to find Dr. Banner, but it's impossible to enter the inferno. Dr. Marks is later found dead; Banner's body is never found at all. Jack makes it his mission to track down the Hulk and learn the true story of the Creature. More...

The Six Flavors of Quark

The bandage roll vanishes when it goes behind Dan's invisible arm.

The contact lenses on the tray sure look brown.

Brisco County, Jr. & the History of The Orb

The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. introduced us to The Orb, a mysterious spherical object with uncanny powers. The Orb was eventually revealed to be a man-made electromagnetic wave-particle net that captures energy at certain nodal intersections of the space/time grid. Although complete details have never been revealed, many significant bits of information about the Orb were presented throughout the series. These facts have been collected here, giving the most comprehensive origin & history of "that Orb thang" currently available.

The people of 5502 A.D. created three Orbs and sent them back in time to aid in the advancement of mankind. John Bly used a time machine to travel back from his year of 2506 to 1894 and steal the Orbs, which he then brought to the future and used to rule the world in a 2000-year reign of terror. Bye Bly

Karina traveled back to 1894 to recover the Orbs and prevent Bly's world conquest. Bye Bly
