1. Bayside High is nothing more than Zack Morris’s dream world.
BeforeSaved By The Bellwas a staple of NBC ’s early ' XC Saturday morning programing , it was an ' 80s Disney Channel teenager sitcom calledGood Morning Miss Bliss . After a 14 - episode run , Good Morning , Miss Blisswas re - tooled and re - packaged for NBC . Some of the characters , include Zack , Screech , Lisa , and Mr. Belding , remain on , while others — like Mikey , Nikki , Milo , and even the nominal Miss Bliss — were cast apart for Modern faces . The setting was also exchange from John F. Kennedy Junior High School in Indiana to Bayside High School in California . As a result , it is conceive thatSaved By The Bellis nothing more than anescapist fantasyof its main case , Zack Morris .
OnGood Morning , Miss Bliss , Zack Morris ( Mark - Paul Gosselaar ) was , to put it nicely , kind of a dweeb . lady friend were n’t attracted to him , his classmates made fun of him , and Miss Bliss ( Hayley Mills ) was always on to his schemes . But when Zack made the leap toSaved By The Bell , he was magically transformed into the coolest guy in school . Because of this , some fans call back that Zack manufactured his dream life in sunny southern California , creating a world in which all the young lady want him , his peers idolize him , and he gets away with even his most pathetic plans .
2. The Count feeds on the children ofSesame Street.
Even more usurious is the belief among some fans thatCount von Count is a bloodsucking Muppet vampirewho preys on the children ofSesame Street . The act - obsess lamia lures kids to his lair under the pretext of teaching them math , so he can feed on their young person . ( harmonise to this theory , the Count is why the kid who hang out on Sesame Street are invariably replace . ) manifestly , Sesame Street ’s grownup house physician are in on the Count ’s dastardly scheme too , because in the decade he ’s been on the show , they ’ve never made an effort to discontinue him .
3. The Fresh Prince is dead.
Some fans ofThe Fresh Prince of Bel - Airare win over that Will was dead for the continuance of the show ’s six - time of year run . Theirtheoryfixates on the sitcom ’s hatchway theme song , which states that Will Smith was hang out — chillin ' out , maxin ' , relaxin ' all coolheaded , if you will — when some bozo who were " up to no goodness " amount along . As the song goes , he got into one little fight and his mom got scared , then told him he ’d have to move in with his auntie and uncle in Bel - Air . But what if Will never made it to Bel - Air , and instead , croak in the fight ? These devotee believe it was God who drove the “ rare ” taxicab to take Will to the Banks ’ mansion — in this typesetter’s case , Heaven — which he refers to as his " kingdom . "
4. Toby is the real Scranton Strangler.
The last half ofThe Office’snine - time of year run feature a subplot focused on HR rep Toby Flenderson ’s ( Paul Lieberstein ) obsession with the Scranton Strangler , a local serial killer . The Scranton Strangler was first mentioned during season six , and was eventually caught after a foresighted police standoff in time of year seven . Toby ’s fascination with the nonparallel killer whale only increase when he was picked to be a juror on his murder trial .

During season nine , Toby is guilt - stricken when he admits that the panel might have sentenced the wrong man to die . He even visits Skub in prison , who immediately jumps to strangle Toby .
Some believe that Toby ’s extreme guilt is a sign that he is , in fact , thereal Scranton Strangler . At that point on the show , they reason , he has nothing left to drop off : his marriage has failed , he has a young girl whom he rarely sees , his work life is rickety , and he is ineffective to make a go of it when he attempt to start a newfangled sprightliness in Costa Rica .

5. The U.S. government canceledFirefly.
6. Gilligan’s Island is Hell.
Some theorizer trust that the setting ofGilligan ’s Islandis not an island , but rather Hell , and that its wicked dweller all perished in the clangour of the S.S.Minnow . According to this theory , each character onGilligan ’s Islandrepresents one of theSeven Deadly Sins . The millionaire Mr. Howell stage Greed , while his work - averse wife represent Sloth . Sexy movie star Ginger stand in for Lust , while innocent farm young woman Mary Ann envies Ginger ’s beauty and lifestyle . The smart Professor is exulting because he ca n’t admit that he is ineffectual to cook the ship or get them off the island . Skipper , meanwhile , symbolizes two deadly sins : Gluttony and Wrath , because he ’s always taking something out on miserable Gilligan . Not that you should experience bad for the titulary dimwit ; these fans believe that Gilligan represents Satan . He ’s constantly screwing up the radical ’s plans for rescue , and what ’s more , he ’s always wearing red .
7.The Flintstonestakes place in a post-apocalyptic future.
This fantheoryposits that the worlds inhabit by the Jetsons and the Flintstones exist at the same time . The Flintstones ' civilization was " bombed back to the Stone Age " during a atomic war , and its inhabitants were push to start over . That ’s why the flintstone utilise the materials ( and animals ) at their electric pig to mime modern technology ( like when they use raspberry ' beaks to play records ) . Why would cavemen from the prehistorical past need refuse disposals and record player , if not to duplicate how their society once was ?
The Jetsons , for their part , live in Orbit City , a city built entirely above the swarm . Ever wonderwhat ’s below Orbit City ? Many citizenry trust that the civilization render onThe Flintstonesis befall down on Earth . In addition , some rooter suspect that the only thing divide the Jetson and the Flintstone family is income . The Jetsons can afford to live in the fancy fresh society above the clouds , while the working class Flintstones are forced to make do in the ruins of Earth .
When you turn over the meter period during which both show were created , this assumption does n’t seem all that far - fetched . After all , both shows were developed at the elevation of the Cold War , during a time when Americans invariably feared a nuclear attack by Communist Russia .
8. Jessica Fletcher is a serial killer.
It ’s believe that Jessica Fletcher ( Angela Lansbury ) onMurder , She Wroteis not just an author who write mysteries , but is actuallya serialkillerwho disguises herself as a novelist and amateur detective . How else could Jessica Fletcher , again and again , “ randomly ” stumble upon a dead body and afterward on , “ figure out ” who the murderer is ? Consider , too , that Fletcher lives in the cozy coastal town of Cabot Cove , Maine , population 3,500 . During the 12 year the show was on , 268 the great unwashed were murdered , which would , statistically , make Cabot Cove the execution Das Kapital of the world . Either killers are constellate to the New England village , or Jessica Fletcher is a serial murderer whose gentle and pleasant British demeanor serves to throw mass off her trail .
9.Breaking Badis a prequel toThe Walking Dead.
In season one , Glenn ( Stephen Yeun ) drive a red Dodge Challenger , which looks very similar to Walter White ’s car . And when Walter White kick the bucket to return his Dodge onBreaking Bad , he take it back to the franchise ’s general manager , whose name is also Glenn .
In time of year two , Daryl Dixon ( Norman Reedus ) is sample to bring down T - Dog ’s ( IronE Singleton ) injury - induced fever , so he tear out his brother Merle ’s stash of drug to see if anything in the plastic bag will do the antic . visualise clearly at the bottom of the old bag : blue crystal meth . Even more suspicious : before the snake god Book of Revelation , Merle Dixon ( Michael Rooker ) used to be a drug principal . His supplier was account as “ a janky little white guy ” who threatened Merle with a ordnance and say , " I ’m gon na shoot down you , bitch ! " Sounds like Jesse Pinkman ( Aaron Paul ) to me .
