"This is the most violent episode due to shooting and threats and should not be viewed by the entire family."
I know I posted something similar before. That wikipedia.org is a joke.

Wow, who ever wrote that must have no time on their hands! I've seen SpongeBob SquarePants episodes that were worse then that.

Here's your original thread: http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?t=195718
My post there basically sums up how I feel about that Wikipedia entry. You know, I actually use Wikipedia pretty regularly and have found that it is pretty accurate a lot of the time, but the fact that it can be edited by anybody takes away from it's credibility, for reasons like this. I noticed that you mentioned in the first thread that this information had been removed last time you checked, but I guess whoever wrote that decided to add their two cents once again. :rolleyes:

Wow. That's unreal. The episode did have guns, a hostage situation, and even fighting (off camera), and it could be looked at as being "violent" BUT it was all done out of fun. It was comedy at it's best.
This little story is kind of funny because "Trapped" was my favorite "Classic 39" episode, as a child around 4 or 5. I guess I grew up with violence in my life then. Oh well, it still remains my all time favorite episode of the show.

Take a look at this little bit of information that somebody recently decided to add to Wikipedia's main Honeymooners article:
The show was set in the Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn apartment of Ralph Kramden (Gleason) and his wife Alice (Audrey Meadows)
I really don't understand why people feel the need to add inaccurate information like this to an otherwise accurate article. Better yet, where do they even get the information themselves? Do they just make it up and get some sort of joy out of confusing others?

I guess us intelligient people know better than to refer to Crappypedia for information. If and that is a big IF, I ever refer to Crappypedia for info, it is solely information that I already know to be true. If I am not sure of the accuracy, I would not use that info. Any Tom, Dick and Harry can add their stupid crap to that site.

:lol: I wonder who wrote that? Probably someone who's a member of the PTC. :rolleyes: Sure, it had a bit of a dramatic/violent feel to it, but it wasn't heavy, like an episode of Good Times or something, it was played for laughs for the most part and if someone thinks that episode isn't appropriate for the family, then they really have no business watching tv in the first place.
I actually watched this episode for the first time tonight and it was hilarious especially the part where the kid asked Ralph for his toy gun back while he was using it on the killers. :lol:

And then the killer squirted Ralph in his face! :lol:
Was tonight really your first time seeing that episode? That must have been a nice treat.

Yeah. :lol: I bought the Classic 39 Set recently and I'm seeing most of these episodes for the first time. I know I watched a few episodes when I was a kid, but I don't remember which ones I saw. I still don't know why it took me so long to buy the DVDs, this is such a great show! :)
