message: If you truly believe the character's headgear should be defined as a beret please start the discussion here or cite a source for the edit. Thanks!  CMacMillan 01:07, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought it was an odd addition myself.  Looking around to figure out what kind of hat the magic hat was, it most resembles a Gatsby cap.  SchuminWeb (Talk) 02:39, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Since we had a spelling correction in one edit changing from one spelling to the other, it's worth a discussion.  I'm wondering if anyone knows the correct spelling of "alimagocus" (as in "hocus pocus alimagocus").  I've always spelled it "alimagocus" (with an "i"), and my use of that spelling on my highly-visible Today's Special Web site seems to have given rise to use of that spelling.  I've also seen it spelled "alamagocus" (with an "a"), and I'm not sure which spelling is correct.  Does anyone know what the official spelling of the word is, like that which was used on the scripts and such?  I'd love to know, because I am inclined to consider either spelling to be "correct" unless we find out officially.  SchuminWeb (Talk) 04:42, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I have a distant memory of seeing this on my local PBS station once. My memories only go back to 1990, so can anyone confirm that? --Jnelson09 18:50, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The show was only in production through 1987, but yeah, the show ran in repeats on various networks on and off through the 1990s.  Nick dropped it in 1991, and then Faith and Values showed it for a few years through 1995 or so.  SchuminWeb (Talk) 23:28, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Is it really necessary to mention the part about the music in the set changes section?  One could reasonable assume that they are watching an old set if it has the OLD SET.  I suggest removing this cruft. Modor (talk) 23:31, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

message: I'm curious what the source is for Saw Crenshaw being a veteran of the Boer Wars.  The last Boer war ended more than a decade before his birth date.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jethro 82 (talk • contribs) 21:03, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
