Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Jeff: Well now, TXL, how do we turn you on? I've never done this before. What button do you suppose I press?

Jodie: That's not a ... a-a lizard, that's a (now dubbed in a low, masculine-type voice) LIZARD!

Jeff: There's nobody, quite like you, Muffy, nobody does the things you do... Where would we be, if we didn't have you? Our days would be empty, the nighttime too, without you there'd be no sun in Sunday, all of our rainbows would be pale and gray.

  • Ear Worm: Not only the magic spell (see, now you remember this show) but also Sam's Leitmotif ("Singin' Yo-he-ho, sail across the ocean blue!"), the Blue Cow song, the theme song, etc.
  • Fridge Logic: So how can Jeff function on the roof if the magic hat specifically works only within the store?
    • In the opening credits, Muffy takes off Jeff's hat in order to make a scene transition. Why would she use this type of method, knowing that taking off his hat would turn him back into a mannequin?
    • In the episode "A Visit to the Opera", Jodie and Sam have to hold down two levers on a special machine belonging to Waldo and not let go of them so that Jeff can go outside. This would be too much of a great risk considering they would be the only two in the store. And what if an emergency occurred (burglary, fire, etc.)? Or what if they needed the restroom?
  • Tear Jerker: Literally in the episode entitled "Tears". "Butterflies" and "Wishes" were also very sad, especially for a kids' show.
