Richie's name for Doug?! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

MaurizioGaudino · 12-11-2004, 08:41 PM

Hey Guys, i'm a great fan of the show from overseas, europe, (netherlands). I usually watch the episodes in english, cause most of the jokes can't be translated properly, the actual joke kinda gets lost. there's one thing though i simply don't get: I was in the states for a year as an exchange student a few years ago, but i never heard anyone calling a pal "moos" or "mooze" or whatever richie calls doug all the time...can someone please tell me what that is all about?hows that spelled anyway? i dont have a clue...

thx!

Hey, welcome to the boards!

Richie's nickname for Doug is "moose"...as in the animal.

yes moose it is. and i would further speculate that it is a reference to the large character in ARCHIE comics called Moose. Doug is by far not the brightest light on the dashboard not unlike Moose from Archie . and Leah though not rich resembles Veronica and is a fine looking Betty if you know what I mean.

alright, thx guys, that shed light on that one...i assumed richies a latino, is there any hint in the show where he's actually from? the way he talks, his accent is really the best on the show, kinda smooth and cool at the same time...

I really enjoyed Ritchie's character. Does anyone know why he was dropped anyway??

Also I wonder why Carrie's sister was dropped too. She was only in the first 2 episodes I believe.

I think they should bring back those 2 characters.

Ritchie is typical Queens goombah!
