I recognised the item that Homestar is holding when he talks to The Cheat, but I'm not sure what it is. It's the one in the screenshot at the top of the article. Any one else know? -- [[User:Tbone762|Tbone762]] 12:43, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I put up in the transcript that Homestar was carrying a Funmachine, even though it's obviously an Atari 2600, since Strong Bad had a similar-looking game console in SBCG4AP, but TBC still say it's an Atari 2600. Should we keep the 2600 description, or should we change it to a Funmachine?

Ding! Puppet Time is a featured article, which means it showcases an important part of the Homestar Runner body of work and/or highlights the fine work of this wiki. We also might just think it's cool. If you see a way this page can be updated or improved without compromising previous work, feel free to contribute.

[edit] Mr. Wizard

What exactly was Mr. Wizard? Presumably it was some TV show or something, but does anybody have any information on it? --Ogog

"Mr. Wizard's World", was the lastest. "Watch Mr. Wizard" was the original. More can be found throgh Google. -- Tom 00:14, 12 Feb 2005 (MST)

i went to www.tv.com, and there was no guide there so, i don't know what the episode guide is. -Bassium!

Mr. Wizard was awesome. Basically, it was this guy who did little experiments with various child helpers, and he would explain various scientific principles. Aurora the Homestar Coder 16:38, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] A Note! A Note!

  • Homestar looking into the camera and saying "A note!" again, is a reference to Blue's Clues, where the host does the same thing.

Am I the only one who finds this a stretch? One other possibility I can think of is the Monty Python cartoon "Conrad Poohs is about to receive a congratulatory telegram." The narrator points out that it is actually a letter by pointing to it and saying, "A letter. A letter." Bad Bad Guy 05:04, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, it is probably a stretch, unless we can see a clear example that demonstrates that the similarity is more substantial than just the repetition. Heimstern Läufer 04:39, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] What to call the console in the video?

I put up in the transcript that Homestar was carrying a Funmachine, even though it's obviously an Atari 2600, since Strong Bad had a similar-looking game console in SBCG4AP, but TBC still say it's an Atari 2600. Should we keep the 2600 description, or should we change it to a Funmachine?
