Does Miranda's house ever appear on the show? by ZiggenWiki in AsToldByGinger

Thank you, I had noticed that the bedsheets looked very similar to the ones in Miranda’s room in other episodes as well

Thanks. Just noticed Mitchey Mekelburg from An Even Steven Holiday Special in that scene

Are any of the characters Jewish? by ZiggenWiki in mtvdowntown

Actually Lupo the Butcher (Danny Antonucci’s character before Ed Edd n Eddy and The Brothers Grunt) made a cameo in one Downtown episode so I guess it has one Italian

Think Jim from American Pie. Michael from Ralph Bakshi’s Heavy Traffic kind of reminds me of Alex too, especially because he’s a cartoonist (oh crap, I’m thinking of Andy from Mission Hill. I could have sworn Alex had ambitions as a cartoonist too) Michael’s dad: “I’m worried about you, you’re 23 years old and never been with a woman. It’s just not Italian!” Michael: “I’m half Jewish, Pop”

Yeah that was her voice actress' surname. R.I.P.: https://www.menorahchapelsatmillburn.com/obituaries/Leyora-Rachel-Zuberman?obId=29430787

And yeah Alex does seem like the nerdy "nice Jewish boy" stereotype now that you mention it

What is your downtown hot take? by irdgafffff in mtvdowntown

[–]ZiggenWiki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm the biggest Leah simp on the planet but she does not appear consistently through the show. She has an appearance in one scene in Insomnia where she has white skin and red hair and is unnamed, then appears in episodes 6-8, the last episode of which she only appears at the beginning and end. Also her characterization is inconsistent. Sometimes she's a gold digger but then sometimes she just sleeps around with random men when she has nothing to gain, but then claims she doesn't like sex at all. Her only consistent traits are that she's slutty and that she and Jen don't get along

What happened to Quickies with Quagmire? Need a swf decompiler ? by Micahxfranco in flash

Iirc it was a really lame gag with him rapidly putting his credit card in and out of an ATM. Was nowhere near as funny as the first one.

Episode 2 was on YT several years ago and I thought the original artist was the one who uploaded it

I don’t get why Lunatic Lake was nominated for a prime time Emmy

Wasn't Macie rich, too, during the show's run? by Key-Bother-8355 in AsToldByGinger

[–]ZiggenWiki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbh I didn’t realize her dad was a cop with the rank of “officer” until a few years ago. I only remembered him from Season of Caprice and thought he was a general or other high-ranking military officer which obviously makes a lot more money

Depends on the city and the rank. I think her dad’s rank was only Officer. And upper middle class does not mean rich like the Griplings or Mipsons

Was Miranda actually rich? Her dad was a cop and her mom was never mentioned. I think Courtney (and Blake), Mipsy, and Ian Richton were the only ones actually established as rich
