[edit] New Season Possibility

Shout Factory announced something in late 2006 on their myspace blog and never made an update. anyone else notice this? Wikipedia wouldn't let me link to it for some reason.. *Update* Found a link that links to it :p http://homemovies.toonzone.net/index.html click "Blog Post"

[edit] Josie

In the Home Movies article it states that Brendon's little sister Josie is adopted. But I don't ever remember seeing in any episode that she was adopted, Can someone please indicate an episode where this was stated? Otherwise I think the article should just say Brendon's little sister Josie and not include the word adopted until it can be substantiated. Misterrick 08:01, 17 April 2005 (UTC).

In an episode called "Temporary Blindness" Brendon has to do a project for school about his family. And while talking to Paula about it they say Josie is adopted. 24.63.24.77, 21 May 2005 (UTC).

I always thought this was a joke and that Josie was a child from an affair.

I think such a detail should be in a lower section that is marked with a spoiler warning

I wouldn't consider it a spoiler, since it's simply an off-comment that doesn't imact any stories or plot points.

Josie is black and was stated that she was adopted. She's adopted.

[edit] retroscripting only in season 1?

I saw this website: here. "However, I do think the second season would have been better if Soup2Nuts still used the RetroScripting technique." Can anyone confirm that they stopped using this technique after the first season? -Hyad 08:05, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

Per the DVD commentary on Season 1, Episode 106 "Director's Cut" (Disc Two), only the UPN episodes (1-5) were retroscripted.

I just verified it. At 2:13 into the Episode, Loren Bouchard says "Hey, this is the first episode with a script!" and then Brendon confirms it and talks about Bill Braudis (the show's writer.) -Herandar 23:38, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

More comments about the scripts and retroscripting at 5:41in the same episode. -Herandar 23:43, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

Season Summary

The person who wrote the season summary made a lot of errors. He uses his own bias and makes a lot of over-generalizations about each season.

[edit] Duane/Dwane

I did see Duane's name spelled "Dwane" at one spot in one episode (a subtitle in Brendon's Battle of the Bands documentary in "Hiatus") but it hardly seems worth mentioning the alternate spelling. "Duane" is clearly how they have decided it should be spelled on the DVD covers, in multiple places at least on the Season 2 cases.

This was probably a joke about how poorly made Brendon's documentary was. Gatesofawesome!

[edit] Mitch

I think the Mitch character should be mentioned because it was the late Mitch Hedberg that played the character, and this was probably the most famous guest on the show

I'll add a celebrity guest section, including Mitch's 4 appearances, soon. --TheMidnighters 13:16, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Jason = poor?

Is Jason supposed to be poor or rich? In one episode he mentions that he sleeps in a bunkbed with his father (which would imply that he doesn't even have his own bedroom), yet in another episode he has a membership to a country club. I think there are some other references to him being poor but I can't recall them off the top of my head.

I think there are more signs pointing to his family being rich. The bunkbed doesn't necessarily mean that they're poor, just weird. In another episode Jason can't get in touch with his parents, who are in a hotel in Tunisia. Given the style of the show, and Benjamin's improvising, you could probably find justification for either option. --TheMidnighters 06:41, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
Don't forget, too, that Jason's family can afford to belong to a members-only country club, which Brendon makes use of in one episode by masquerading as Jason.12.162.189.80 20:15, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Science court

a few of the characters and I think some of the style of this show comes from an old show I used to watch called 'science court'. If anyone cares to track down a citation for this, then that'd add to the article. If not, i dont really care.

[edit] wikiquote

wikiquote stuff doesn't work. something with the titles.


[edit] Proposed merge

I proposed that we merge Scab (band) into this article. Currently, there are 3 articles about Home Movies: Home Movies (TV series), List of Home Movies episodes, and Scab (band). I would say Scab is hardly a major enough part of the show to deserve its own article, especially when none of the other characters have their own articles. There's not a whole lot of useful info in the Scab article, so I would suggest that we maybe merge the interesting fact or two that is there into the 'Style' section of the Home Movies article. Any thoughts? --Gpollock 05:26, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Feel free to fix it yourself. VolatileChemical 22:22, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Count Popula

Is Count Popula an actual character? If not, please consider deleting it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ng.j (talk • contribs) 04:15, 29 March 2007 (UTC).

Count Popula is not a character, but he is referenced in the show. He is "the pope's cousin, a magical monster with pencils for arms." MrCheshire 20:39, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed character section split

I move the "Characters" section be moved to a new page. I think it's long enough. VolatileChemical 02:46, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm inclined to agree. When it goes get moved, I'll try to help expand on the character bios, to ensure that the new page is justified. MrCheshire 20:39, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Absolutely. Those bios need some serious expansion. Serious. Ly. VolatileChemical 23:33, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
And now it's done. In case no one noticed. VolatileChemical 22:39, 28 June 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Brendon's Age

In the show Brendon is repeatedly referred to as being in the 4th grade, and is also referred to as being 8. Shamas also has his 8th birthday in the first season and is in the 4th grade of another school. Brendon should then be about 10 unless he skipped 2 years. Is this worth mentioning?

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Homemovies sm.png

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.
