[edit]

I do not understand the reason for the cleanup tag on this page. It is short, to the point, and cites many references. -- Elaich talk 07:32, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The complaint concerned how the images were placed and aligned. I've fixed that and removed the tag. Wasted Time R (talk) 23:24, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Did he really say that?

[edit]

Did someone really say, "Oh my God" on the cartoon? I would have thought that wouldn't be allowed at that time. 140.147.236.194 (talk) 18:08, 30 April 2009 (UTC)Stephen Kosciesza[reply]

Public school prayer was still in place in the early 1960s in the U.S., so mentions of God were quite okay. Wasted Time R (talk) 23:28, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, public prayer in public schools took place at the time. That wasn't the point of the original comment. The point was that "Oh, my God," would have been seen, at the time, as a comment too risque for the script of a children's cartoon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.22.92.6 (talk) 11:42, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm the original poster in this thread, now posting as a registered Wikipedian (got persuaded to join up--glad I did). That last comment was right on the mark; I took part in prayer in public schools at least in 1963-1964 (the New York State Regents' Prayer, I think it was called). But the exclamation "Oh, my God" is quite different; it could be seen as taking the Lord's name in vain, and so many people would object. There's a famous TV blooper; I think it was Arlene Frances on What's My Line. Supposedly, when things were typically live, she said, "Oh my God!" Then she supposedly said, "Oh, my God, I'm not supposed to say 'Oh my God' on Television." So I have a feeling someone's mis-recalling whatever it was that the Space Angel said.

Not quite Wikipedia-ey

[edit]

This page screams of nonconformity. I don't know the right template to slap onto the main article, but it really sounds like I'm reading someone's personal view on this. --TangoFett (talk) 09:49, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

...and the reflections about syndication in Italy appear misplaced and poorly written. Why not have reflections about syndication in all countries written in broken English? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.22.92.6 (talk) 11:44, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
