"The name's Jughead! Jug. Head!"

Published:

It's been a few weeks since we've had an open thread, and the last one was cut short by my mild sniffle exploding into something resembling the Mutaba virus from that episode of "Clerks: The Animated" series where we learned that "Nothing can kill the Grimace."

Usual ground rules apply: ask/comment on anything, so long as you follow the commenting rules -- in particular, be really vague about spoilers for anything, including shows I don't usually write about -- and I'll try to answer as many as I can for the next 12 hours or so. You may want to skim the previous open threads (click on the tag below) to make sure I haven't already been asked something; I'm not going to answer repeaters.

Also, for those wondering, the photo and subject line are from "Police Academy 2," and came up when, during a discussion of the "Lost" episode "Jughead," I asked if anyone could help me remember what '80s movie or TV show featured an undercover cop posing as a tough guy named Jughead. Several commenters helped scratch that particular itch, and it's in response to moments like that that I try to do this Q&A posts every now and then.

UPDATE: Wrapping it up for this week. We'll try this again soon.
