Female duo
In a reference to two characters from The Flintstones (Betty and Wilma) which I used to see on televison years ago (this occured between programs), there preceding it was a small reference to two women. I'm not sure what they're called exactly but they're kinda referred to as "orlando ease" (can't tell if this is correct). When I try to check for that duo through search engines, I seem to be getting nowhere. 210.4.123.128 (talk) 13:09, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't understand your question. Can you rephrase? --Moni3 (talk) 13:35, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Hm. Given the "orlando" reference, it should be noted that the duo of Telma Hopkins and Joyce Vincent Wilson went by the name of Dawn during the 1970s... Maybe that's it... --Jayron32. talk . contribs  13:45, 4 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Thelma and Louise? That sort of rhymes with what you think you heard. APL (talk) 13:49, 4 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm not computing the question. You say it involved Betty Rubble and Wilma Flintstone, but "between programs".  The only thing that I'm aware of that happens "between programs" is advertising of one form or another.  Was this in a promo for the cartoon series, but not in the cartoon itself?  --  JackofOz (talk) 21:53, 4 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Many programs in the US have additional material other than ads "between programs". This is particularly true of ad-free TV, when it runs programs made the proper length for regular TV.  One common type of material inserted into these holes is a "making of the show" segment, but there are many other types of filler. StuRat (talk) 22:18, 4 December 2008 (UTC)


 * In response to JackofOz, I had trouble trying to put this in words because it's kinda complicated. Two things occur between programs: commercials and references about programs that air in that particular channel.
 * Those are called "promos" in TV-speak. --70.167.58.6 (talk) 06:15, 5 December 2008 (UTC)


 * What I saw years ago, an announcer quoted "You have seen [that duo I'm telling about here]. Now CN presents Betty and Wilma." This was one of the things that took place between shows. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.4.123.128 (talk) 03:16, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Time would certainly give us context here. How many years ago is years ago?  Are we talking 1990's?  1980's?  1970's?  Give us something more to work with!  --Jayron32. talk . contribs  05:11, 5 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Were they fictional women? Category:Fictional duos or Category:Duos is a good place to get started. There seems to be no category for female duos though. Jay (talk) 07:53, 5 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I think I saw it back in 2001. Were they fictional women? Yes. What APL just added here does seem to ressemble that duo a bit after I looked at the picture in the article. Although I remember one of the women wearing sunglasses and a bandana when I saw it on televison. 210.4.123.128 (talk) 08:50, 5 December 2008 (UTC)


 * If it was 2001, then Thelma and Louise is VERY likely. (and if 2001 is YEARS AGO then I have definately passed into "old fart" stage.  2001 seems like "just yesterday" to me!!!).  --Jayron32. talk . contribs  15:30, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (cont.)
In a question that I asked about Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, I asked when appeared for the first time Tommy as the White Ranger. In which episode of the series appeared for the first time Adam, Aisha and Rocky as the Black, Yellow and Red Ranger respectively? David Pro (talk) 15:20, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Have you even looked at the articles for Adam Park, Aisha Campbell, and Rocky DeSantos? Specifically the infoboxes in those articles where it says "first appearance"?  David, often your questions can be answered either by reading the articles here or by doing a simple Google search.  Dismas |(talk) 06:04, 5 December 2008 (UTC)


 * The first appearance of Adam Park, Aisha Campbell and Rocky DeSantos according to their articles was in "The Ninja Encounter: Part I", but they didn't become into Rangers until "The Power Transfer: Part II". 200.112.30.112 (talk) 13:53, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Naruto and Advent Children in metal videos
Why are Naruto and Final Fantasy VII Advent Children so over-represented in fan-made heavy metal videos? Neon Merlin  17:37, 4 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Because of the fanatic fan base? --70.167.58.6 (talk) 18:09, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
