His last name was Stabbone, so, my theory is it is just a varriation of the last name.

It would have been better for him to have been called "Bone".

You'd think it would have been censored out, considering the network was ABC, but I guess it was because it was never meant to be anything "dirty," although we all know the truth

It was also 20 plus years ago, before the network sensors started editing out every "bad" word.

Isn't it funny how nowadays, it seems like there's more trash on TV, but less censoring by the networks?

Yep, it's still very much known as that today..., I always wondered how they got away with it too...or even how the cast could keep a straight face.

Hey, now! This is a FAMILY board!

PS: I have to agree, it was a pretty crazy name, even if it is a variation of his last name!
