March 18

TV series

I recall some Latin American or possibly European soap opera from the 90s or 80s where one woman on wheelchair had a disfigured face (the face itself was rarely or almost never shown) due to some syndrome. In the soap opera, this syndrome was called after someone, like "syndrome [surname]". What soap opera was it? Thanks.--93.174.25.12 (talk) 09:48, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

There is a list of disabled characters from Soaps here http://samedifference1.com/disabled-soap-characters/ - see if you can spot the one you are thinking of. 109.150.174.93 (talk) 14:04, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Family Guy March 6: Who are they?

At one point in the "A Lot Going on Upstairs" episode, there is a line of characters. Each one is pretending to be the character behind him or her. I didn't know some of them, so I decided to look online but no one had come up with the entire list. I remember, for example, someone looking like the maid whose favorite expression is "No, no."— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 21:18, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

You can find the show here (legal version, from Fox, with commercials): [1]. Please find the time when this scene occurs and we will take a look. StuRat (talk) 02:41, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

It starts at roughly 9:40. I hovered my mouse over the bottom of the video and just watched the thumbnails. Each person in front is being impersonated by the person behind them.

It starts with Chris Griffin dressed up as Frankenstein, then

Meg Griffin as Chris

Adam West as Meg

Seamus the sea captain as Adam West

Tom Tucker as Seamus

The old creepy guy (forget his name right now) as Tom Tucker

the chicken (a running gag on the show) as the creepy guy

Stewie's pediatrician as the chicken

the maid as the doctor

Cleaveland? as the maid

Lois as Cleaveland?

Quagmire as Lois

I forget his name as Quagmire

And this is where my knowledge of the characters breaks down... I think next are Lois' mother and father but after that I'm drawing blanks. Dismas|^(talk) 14:10, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

The maid is named Consuela (con-swail-ah) and Lois' parents are the Pewterschmidts. StuRat (talk) 17:15, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

I can't see the video, but the "old creepy guy" is probably Herbert (Family Guy). Clarityfiend (talk) 17:51, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

Here's my take on it:

• Chris Griffin as Frankenstein
• Meg Griffin as Chris
• Adam West as Meg
• Seamus Levine (the sea captain) as Adam West
• Tom Tucker as Seamus
• John Herbert (the old pedophile) as Tom Tucker
• Ernie the Giant Chicken as John Herbert
• Dr. Elmer Hartman as the chicken
• Consuela the maid as the doctor
• Cleveland Blaccu-weather forecaster Ollie Williams as Consuela
• Lois Griffin as Cleveland Ollie Williams
• Glenn Quagmire as Lois
• Opie as Quagmire
• Angela (Peter's supervisor) as Opie
• Carter Pewterschmidt as Angela
• Asian reporter Tricia Takanawa as Carter
• Jerome as Tricia
• Mort Goldman as Jerome

Thanks. Now we have something close to an official list.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 18:03, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

That Herbert, not Herbet. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:29, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Yes it is. Correction made. StuRat (talk) 16:20, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
