because of this show I went and bought a Mr. Potato men and I was all excited......i'm freakin' 6 foot and 230 pounds and oh yeah right i'm 32 the 17 years old cashier at wal-mart must have think that i'm crazy lolll
I thought the Solomons already agreed to being Jewish earlier in season 1. Though I understand that they're clueless and that's the joke, Tommy should do better research.
that may be true. that they just stole the name. However, to say that, would be to say that they aren't really Christian either. AND, they did choose to pretend that they were Jewish. That's my point - they only just decided to be Jewish, and are going back on it immediately. It's interesting that no one makes a comment about it; Mary or Mrs. Dubcek!
This show has many inconsistencies, I think. I still love it, however!
@pianokid1849 they are aliens, they have no concept of Earth religions and Holidays.They picked theirname from a truck when they landed, Mrs Dubcek being a Polish Jew realized that name was Jewish.Mary isn't Jewish though, Albright is an Irish name of some sort.I'm black, and I know all that.
it just struck me weird that no one, especially Albright said anything about them celebrating christmas - it could have been a funny joke at the end of something.
I also think a Hanuka (sp?) episode would have been pretty funny.
"What are they feedin these kids? They weigh a ton."
"Ya know, I think part of the problem is we're feedin em candy. Maybe if we could give them celery or some kinda... Santa... what are ya... I mean... it... you... Nooooooooo!!!"
What's weird is they sometimes lose their identity, like roughly 1 minute in where Dick refers to them being "The Solomons, dammit" when they are really just a group of aliens pretending to be a family. I guess one can just write it off as them becoming humanized by playing a role all the time... but I digress. I really shouldn't read this much into it, it's just a comedy show... =P
@jp3813 Honestly and I'm not saying this 'cause I'm a fangirl, but the eps with Tommy were far better than the ones without. The dynamic just felt off without him there. Still, I agree, overall season 6 was the worst one.
hehehe, charlie brown christmas tree!

They aren't Jewish. They just picked it so when asked what they are, they can say Jewish. I doubt they even know what's involved with being Jewish.
