[@SuperMarioBrosIII]

@@chrisdziedzic2544 You know it's funny Wendy reminds me of another woman who appeared on Three's Company. Apparently with the help of Larry, Jack was trying to serenade a beautiful blonde woman outside her apartment at night singing to her, well Larry singing and Jack lip syncing to "You Are So Beautiful". He ends by throwing some flowers in her window but the flowers land in the wrong window! The next day Jack gets a visit from the woman a plus size woman who is smitten by Jack. When Jack meets her he realizes that he through the flowers in the wrong window. He tells Larry and he somehow finds the blonde woman who visits Jack while the other woman is still there. Jack not having the heart to tell the woman that he isn't interested in her. So the blonde tells her that Jack isn't interested in her at all and for her to leave. The woman almost leaves but Jack intervenes and askes her to stay and askes the beautiful blonde woman to leave. He then continues to date the plus size woman and the credits role. Now why can't Zack have that kind of class or respect for woman, not just the perfect 10's but all woman? Hmm..🎸🏠💐🧑‍🎤

[@chrishh5777]

I think the "deleted scenes" did air when the episode debuted on NBC in November 1991, but the Shout Factory DVD set and the streaming versions just use the syndicated version that is cut down to fit more commercials. Here are some ways to tell the difference between the NBC version and syndication: - If the episode is between 23 and 23.5 minutes, it's the uncut NBC version. Syndicated versions are under 22.5 minutes. - If a season 1 or season 2 episode has a different version of the theme song in the opening credits, it's unedited. All syndicated versions use the more well known recording of the theme. - If the cast is younger in the clips shown during the opening, it's unedited. In syndication, the older episodes use the updated credits from season 3.

[@savedbythebelldeepdives]

That's a nice primer right there.

[@savedbythebelldeepdives]

At that point they weren't known names, so they wouldn't have been cameos. Looking back now, we call them "uncredited" roles, as they were just extras trying to make a few bucks while looking for larger, steady roles.

[@easy_nator_gamer8498]

@@savedbythebelldeepdives Fair enough. What about in terms of a fictional character? If a fictional character that is new or still relatively unknown makes a brief appearance before they become "famous" (sort of like Bobba Fett in Empire). Do the same rules still apply? or would you consider that a "cameo" appearance for the character?

[@savedbythebelldeepdives]

I think generally a cameo is a special appearance that members of the audience would know if they were engaged in the lore of something. Of note: comedians appearing randomly in comedies. For Star Wars, Boba Fett wouldn't be considered a cameo since we didn't know what the Clone Wars was or what Mandalorians were. He was just a cool, small character that everyone friggin' loved, which made it so future appearances would be a cameo, or even a feature.

[@easy_nator_gamer8498]

@savedbythebelldeepdives Jeez lol. I'll level with you, I'm tryna prove an argument regarding HULK 180 vs HULK 181. Wolverine's 1st cameo appearance in 180 and his 1st full appearance in 181 has been the consensus in the comic community for like 40 yrs. Which is why HULK 181 is more valuable. Follow me so far? However lately newer collectors have come out saying HULK 180 is the first appearance because he appears for 1 panel at the end of the issue. I'm trying to relate that 1st cameo appearance to film cameos but you've shot all my arguments to sh@t now lol.

They try... they force it... the sweet girl turns out to be funny and fun to be with....... but she's overweight.... and in the end, the happy ending is that the main character gets away conscience free after leveling some poor sweet overweight girl's already low confidence. IE: Will Smith and Queen Latifah in Fresh Prince. Family Matters put a twist on it and had Eddie Winslow rebuff Myrtle Urkel... they forwent the "overweight girl" gag and just put Urkel in a wig.
