Patrick and I have another Brain Filler up on CollegeHumor - A Brief History Of Cars Crashing Through Walls On Sitcoms. A special thanks is JeffRubinJeffRubin readers, who helped track down both the Family Matters and Happy Days.
I’m fairly handy with trivia, but while researching this clip I found something that really impressed me. On the TV.com page for Everybody Loves Raymond episode The Wallpaper, someone wrote:
The crash scene is very similar to a “Full House” episode from Season 3 called “Honey, I Broke the House,” where middle daughter Stephanie crashed the car through the kitchen window. Ironically, that’s the same season of the show that Doris Roberts appeared in (except in a different episode).
Ignoring the most flagrant misuse of “ironic” I’ve ever seen, wow. How did they connect those dots? “Except in a different episode”!?! How does anyone know Full House episodes by season, and who guest starred in what season? Whoever noticed that is more machine than man.
