From Episode 1090, uploaded by request: Shortly after the gang arrives at the airport, Oscar delays and frustrates everyone else during a VERY long stop at the metal detector... (Even in the days before "no-fly" lists, that kind of stunt could probably land real-life travelers in jail: CTW must've gotten special permission for the staff to let the cast through!)

Yep - the classic, old school Oscar, before they dumbed him down and made him all cute and round and fluffy in the name of "political correctness". I'm glad I grew up watching this, instead of the newer softer Oscar.

@NyeTunes Perhaps the preschoolers who were watching this.

@AnthonyP73 "Very suggestuve, the way she looks into his eyes while pulling on his chain there..." <-- It's called 'Corpsing.' It's when an actor breaks up while on camera, usually forcing a retake. In this case, you can tell she was trying hard not to burst out laughing, and you can see Carol (Oscar) playing her up real good, too...I bet this whole scene took at least six to eight takes, most coming from the chain scene. Still a good actress and an awesome scene for Oscar!

@Edgefox88 You'll notice that when Oscar went through the second time, only his head and shoulders are visible, with no sign of the can. He didn't take it back through the detector. This is probably one of the only times you'll ever see him outside of the can!

What exactly is this supposed to teach kids??...

@Thirdgen83: How airport check-in is supposed to work, and an extreme example of what NOT to do when going through the metal detector. (Keep in mind that this episode aired in 1979, 20-odd years before air marshals and no-fly lists became standard parts of traveling by plane! )

@hoopersghost Personally, I think Oscar would easily make a no-fly list today.

@cvo85: Agreed...especially since most of the heavier contents in his trash can would be considered potential weapons by the TSA.

bumb question but wouldnt that trash can be made of metal?
Edgefox88 8 months ago
@Edgefox88: The actual trash can used on the set is painted plastic, but the metal-like details (even in 1978) are pretty well done. I'm surprised that whoever played the security worker DIDN'T play along...
