Is Jessica Fletcher a Serial Killer? A Fascinating Fan Theory: The 'Murder, She Wrote' fan theory that Jessica Fletcher is a serial killer is intriguing due to her occupation and the high number of murders in her town. Originated in 2012, it adds depth and intrigue to the show despite not being confirmed.
The TV show "Murder, She Wrote" presents an intriguing fan theory suggesting that its protagonist, Jessica Fletcher, could be a serial killer. This theory gains credibility due to Fletcher's occupation as a murder mystery author and the high number of murders occurring in her small town, Cabot Cove. Although she's not an active detective, she often finds herself in the midst of these crimes. While this theory may not be definitively proven, it has enough backing to be considered a decent fan theory. Additionally, fan theories, like the one about "Saved by the Bell," can have significant origins. In this case, a writer named Logan Trent is believed to have originated the theory in 2012, as evidenced by a post on the Cracked website. It's essential to acknowledge the origins of fan theories and give credit where it's due. Overall, fan theories can add depth and intrigue to our favorite shows, even if they're not confirmed by the creators.
Is Saved by the Bell a daydream of Zach's?: The fan theory proposes that Zach's entire journey from Indiana to Bayside High is a daydream, as suggested by the theme song's lyrics.
The popular 1990s television show "Saved by the Bell" follows the character development of Zach Morris from a troubled student in Indiana to the most popular kid in Bayside High School in California. The fan theory suggests that the entire show is a daydream of Zach's while he's still in Indiana, as depicted in the theme song where he imagines himself as the winner at Bayside High. Despite the huge changes in his life, from being a troublemaker to a total winner, there are some constants like his friends Screech and Slater. The show's premise, as revealed through the theme song, implies that Zach escapes his harsh reality by daydreaming about his ideal life at Bayside High.
Exploring the Imagination Behind 'Save by the Bell': Fan theories add fun to analyzing media, but the events in 'Save by the Bell' are likely not real, as indicated by the impossible SAT score, unexplained disappearances, and Zack's ability to break the fourth wall.
The lyrics from the "Save by the Bell" theme song can be interpreted in various ways, including as a description of a character's imagination or as an indication of the show's early development. The impossible SAT score of 1502 is another piece of evidence suggesting that the events depicted in the show may not be real. Additionally, the show features unexplained disappearances of characters and Zack's ability to break the fourth wall and stop time, further adding to the speculation that it's all a fantasy. Fan theories add to the fun by offering alternative explanations, but they are not real. The discussion also touched upon Zigazoo, a kid-safe social media platform, and Squarespace's Fluid Engine, a website design system. Overall, the conversation showcased the imaginative and playful nature of analyzing media and the enjoyment that comes from exploring different interpretations.
Fan Theories Add Depth to Classic TV Shows: Fan theories suggest 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' and 'Gilligan's Island' take place in the afterlife, while Spock from 'Star Trek' may be related to Sherlock Holmes through a shared phrase.
Certain fan theories suggest classic TV shows like "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" and "Gilligan's Island" take place in the afterlife. For "The Fresh Prince," the theory posits that Will Smith's character was killed and the journey to Bel-Air is his journey in the afterlife. In "Gilligan's Island," the theory proposes that the castaways are in hell or purgatory, representing the seven deadly sins. These theories add intriguing layers to these beloved shows. Another interesting connection is the theory that Spock from "Star Trek" is related to Sherlock Holmes through the phrase "when you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." This phrase was used by both characters and originated from an 1890 book. These fan theories and connections add depth to our understanding and appreciation of these iconic TV shows and characters.
Hidden Connections in Art and Media: Unexpected connections between different works of art, entertainment, or media can add depth and richness, often with intentional planning by creators
The connection between different works of art, entertainment, or media can be surprising and fascinating. The example given is the Star Trek episode "Miri," which was filmed on the same set as The Andy Griffith Show, featuring children in post-apocalyptic Mayberry. This connection was intentional, as creator Gene Roddenberry had a vision to create a fan theory decades before the concept of fan theories existed. Another example given is the connection between the TV shows M*A*S*H and The Andy Griffith Show, as they were both filmed in the same location, with remnants of the sets still visible today. Additionally, the creator of Garfield, Jim Davis, revealed in 1989 that all the Garfield comic strips up to that point were the hallucinations of a dying, starving cat in an abandoned house. These connections add depth and richness to the works and show that there can be hidden meanings and connections that may not be immediately apparent.
Garfield's abandoned house series: A departure from the usual humor: Garfield wakes up in an abandoned house, alone, causing fear and sadness, with no clear resolution
Garfield's abandoned house comic strip series, titled "Garfield: His 9 Lives," was intended to be a departure from the usual humor and instead convey a sense of sadness and fear. The series follows Garfield waking up in an abandoned house, with no sign of Jon or Odie, and growing increasingly panicked as he realizes he may be alone. The series does not offer a clear resolution, with life returning to normal in the final strip. This ambiguity adds to the unsettling nature of the series. The comic strips can be found online and have been compared to the segment "Val's Treats Tristesse" from the animated movie "Allegro Non Troppo," which also features a haunting cat story. The creator, Jim Davis, may have intended it as a hallucination, but the interpretation is open to debate. The series was a departure from the norm for Garfield and left fans questioning the reality of the situation.
Exploring hidden connections between TV shows and movies: Keep an open mind while watching favorite shows or movies for potential hidden connections, adding depth to the viewing experience
Our favorite TV shows and movies may contain hidden connections that we might not notice at first. For instance, the theory suggesting that the blue meth from Breaking Bad caused the zombie outbreak in The Walking Dead seems far-fetched, but upon closer examination, there are indeed some intriguing connections. Characters and props from one show appear in another, and the backstories of certain characters seem to overlap in unexpected ways. The Flintstones and the Jetsons, for example, are often thought to take place in different time periods, but there's a theory that they actually occur at the same time. These connections might be intentional or coincidental, but they add an extra layer of enjoyment for fans who enjoy delving deeper into their favorite stories. So, the next time you're watching your favorite show or movie, keep an open mind and see if you can spot any hidden connections.

Two Extremes of Income and Employment: The Jetsons and Flintstones: Despite their different eras, both the Jetsons and Flintstones face issues of unemployment and joblessness, with educated villains turning to crime due to economic struggles.
The Jetsons and Flintstones, despite being fictional families from different eras, can be seen as representing two extremes of income and employment in society. The Jetsons, living in the futuristic Orbit City, are wealthy and have their needs met by robots and computers, while the Flintstones, living in the prehistoric era, struggle to make ends meet. However, a fan theory suggests that Scooby-Doo takes place after the world economy has shattered, meaning that even in their supposedly different eras, both families face issues of unemployment and joblessness. Additionally, the villains in Scooby-Doob are highly skilled and educated individuals who resort to crime due to their inability to find employment in their respective fields. This highlights the strange and complex relationship between income, employment, and crime in society.
The entire 'St. Elsewhere' series was revealed to take place in a character's mind: The 1988 'St. Elsewhere' finale unveiled the show's six-year run as a product of a character's imagination, with other NBC shows potentially part of his inner world
The television show "St. Elsewhere" had an unexpected and mind-bending ending, revealing that the entire series, consisting of 137 episodes over six years, took place in the mind of the character Tommy Westfall, who had autism and was often seen staring at a snow globe. This revelation, which came in 1988 but gained more significance in 2002 when a TV writer proposed the "Tommy Westfall hypothesis" or "Tommy Westfall universe," suggested that many other NBC shows could also be part of Tommy's inner world. The empty and quirky settings of animated shows like Scooby-Doo and the sparsely populated hospital drama "St. Elsewhere" serve to make the stories more haunting and intriguing.
Tommy's Imaginary TV Universe: Tommy, a boy with autism, imagines a connected TV world where St. Elsewhere, Cheers, Star Trek, Firefly, Red Dwarf, Doctor Who, and more shows exist
According to a past article called "Tommy's World: The TV Legacy of St. Elsewhere," many TV shows are connected and exist in the mind of a boy named Tommy Westfall with autism. This is demonstrated through various characters and companies appearing in multiple shows. For instance, doctors from St. Elsewhere visited Cheers, making Cheers part of Tommy's universe. Frazier, a spin-off of Cheers, is not real in this context. John Larraquette's show mentioned Yo-Yo Dine, a tech company that also appeared in Star Trek, implying that Star Trek is in Tommy's mind. This connection extends to shows like Firefly, Red Dwarf, and Doctor Who, which all reference back to St. Elsewhere. The character John Munch, who appeared on multiple shows, further cements this theory. It's fascinating to note that this interconnectedness was not pre-planned but seems to have evolved organically. The implication is that most of the television in the United States doesn't exist outside of Tommy's imagination. This theory, while not officially confirmed, adds an intriguing layer to the television landscape.

Although they were unable to locate the whiskey, the experience brought people together and resulted in a wealth of research and speculation.
