I was sure that either in the pilot or the first episode of Seinfeld as Jerry walks into his apartment for the first time Pail Reiser was walking out but when I see it in reruns I haven’t seen it. I also thought that the first few times you see “The Fonz” in Happy Days he’s not wearing a leather jacket at all. I haven’t watched any reruns of that show but it’s never mentioned when people speak about him.

In Full House originally Stephanie was sick and asked for Water, Dj is with the he guys and one of them gives her a glass of water and she complains it is from the bathroom. Later,- she is given water and she says that yep, it is definitely from The Kitchen. NOW, Stephanie has been replaced by Michelle!

[@MrParkerman6]

@B Jones In The Betrayal episode of Seinfeld it flashes back to Jerry and Kramer first Meeting. Therefore you are replacing Paul Buckman with Kramer in your memory by combining that scene with the scene in Mad about You we're it is revealed that Paul is giving up his Bachelor Pad to Kramer as a single boet because Jamie Buckman- his wife won't let him keep the apartment!

The tubes would age and the colors would slowly shift, and we wouldn't even notice for long amounts of time. Then when something actually did stop working, we would take it to a repair shop and have it fixed. I know that's a strange concept in the throw-away society of today.

Okay, I'm only halfway through, but some of these strike me as disingenuous. For instance, the Robin commentary and the Judge Judy gavel. They did do those things.

The Mandela effect is when something that actually was a certain way but suddenly it inexplicably changes as if that change was always the case such as the most famous ones related to a popular children's book series about bears. My personal experience with the Mandela effect is when a glass had shattered when I was a kid and for years it was gone but then suddenly out of nowhere with no explanation it's just suddenly back like it was always there. The Mandela effect is closely tied to the concept of the multiverse, not one thing in this video is an example of the Mandela effect.

In the early seasons the network refused to let Winkler in a leather jacket because they thought was too youth gang leader, hence the windbreakers.

Another one I run into a lot comes from the 50s TV show "Adventures of Superman." Many people believe that "everytime" Superman gets shot at with a gun the criminal will end up throwing the gun at Superman and he ducks to avoid being hit by the gun. The irony being he can handle bullets bouncing off his chest but has to avoid being hit by the gun. However, the truth is this only happens ONCE throughout the entire series, not everytime he is shot at.

Captain Pugwash was an animated series on BBC TV in the 50's & 60's. Some of the characters' names were Tom the Cabin Boy, Master Mate and Willy. In the 1990's, the show's creator John Ryan successfully sued the Sunday Correspondent and the Guardian newspapers for claiming the characters were called 'suggestive names' such as 'Master Bate', 'Roger the Cabin Boy' and 'Seaman Staines'. The claims were completely untrue, but that doesn't stop people of a certain age insisting they remember giggling at the double entendres as they watched the shows. Once again, it's pointless arguing with these people, they are convinced.

Excellent point, and I was thinking the same thing. Plus, color TVs weren't ubiquitous in the early 1970s when this series debuted.

[@michaelterrell]

Speak for yourself. I was a Broadcast Engineer, and our color TV had an excellent picture. Especially, after I installed a top of the line CRT into it. in the early '70s. I still have that set, and it had a great image until the day that TV went digital. Many people bought the cheapest TVs they could find, so many color TVs had low quality CRTS. They were typically the 23 EGP22 which was crap. About 10% bought the best that they could find. which often contained a 'Black Matrix' CRT with newly developed color phosphers.

[@michaelterrell]

@@indiansfaninpa Round screen RCA designed color TVs were available, starting in the '50s. Motorola introduced the first solid state color TV in the mid '60s, under the Quasar name. My family bought one of the first to hit our town. It had a tube for the high voltage, and the picture tube, but everything else was transistors. Once a solid sate HV rectifier hit the market, Motorola witched ti those.

[@AmericanActionReport]

@@LionsDenAudioTheatre Not quite. The texts of the Sherlock Holmes stories never specifically mention a deerstalker cap or an Inverness cape coat, but Holmes sometimes wore a "close-fitting cloth cap" and wore an "ankle-length cape coat." Sidney Paget, the original illustrator of the stories, illustrated those articles of dress (only when mentioned) as a deerstalker cap and an Inverness cape coat. As for Sherlock Holmes's pipes, he used three: cherry wood, briar, and an "oily clay pipe," all of which Paget illustrated as having straight stems. The calabash pipe originated with American stage actor William Gillette, who thought that a curved-stemmed pipe made it easier to deliver his lines with a pipe in his mouth.

I think the problem with the Fonz even in this video there where scenes where it looks black, but when he moved to a different location in the same scene it is brown. Think the lighting and the way you look at certain aspects shows it to be a different color. Now that we have HD TV it is easier to see the actual color compared to back when it first came out. So calling it a Mandela Effect is kind of pushing it considering the way people now days see the show compared to back then.

[@billkeithchannel]

[@andreanatsuminadeau5608]

The Fonz jacket one might be due to poor color quality/contrast in late '70s early '80s television set. One lousy setting on one of those old thing and the jacket WILL appear black to some cuz it's really a very dark shade of brown.

[@jimmyparris9892]

Or, we adjusted the tv so that it looked black. Remember, we didn't have to navigate through any menus back then. We just walked over, flipped open the panel, and turned the little knobs. I think our tv had 3 or 4. Color, Contrast, Brightness, and Hue. And, since we all thought that Fonzie's jacket was black...

The first time I ever heard "Beam me up, Scotty" was on David Letterman. Early on, Dave had a continuing bit with characters named (let's say) Frank and Fred. The bit was illustrated with clever illustrations on cards that Dave, sitting at his desk, would hold up to the camera. Frank always behaved well and Fred didn't. One time we saw Frank getting married, everybody in their proper place in the church, and all going well. Then we saw Fred as the groom in the same place, freaking out with popping eyeballs and so on. Dave supplied the dialog "Beam me up, Scotty!"
