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)

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): . 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

 * 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)
