Empire (2002)
Deleted scenes (spoilers)
There's a deleted scene in which we see Jack having a fight with his Puerto Rican mother. Maria tells her son, whom she calls "Juanito," that he is a disgrace, that he is just like his drug dealer father. Jack storms out of her house, saying "When I die, maybe I'll leave my wife with a reason to live."
I thought this put a different spin on the scene near the end, where Jack refuses to tell Vic his real name, and insults him by calling him a "spic." I got the feeling that Jack had specifically singled out Vic because of his resentment for his father.
Thoughts?
Down to Earth (1984)
The theme song
The line containing the family's name that Traci B forgot:
"Back down to earth to teach the Prestons lessons, Richard Lizzie Dwayne and J.J. too! Now she must be a nineteen eighties' lady..." etc.
Just had to share, because I've had that damn theme song stuck in my head off and on for like, twenty years now :) I used to watch this show on the TBS Superstation (it was on right after the Monkees reruns). Those were long, boring summer vacations, with so little for me to do.
