This board is a wealth of information...didn't know about VDO and his magic, though we did see him make a crayon appear for a little girl in one of the early eps.
Tell me about it! When I was a teenager in love with Hall & Oates, it was hard work learning every last bit of published minutiae out there. You had to scour magazine racks weekly, watch endless hours of MTV.. we really applied ourselves. LOL
Now-a-days all I have to do is click on a few key websites and read... there are hunter-gatherers all over the net doing the work for us! Good thing too... because I don't have the kind of energy anymore.

I saw previews for this show and I have to say...and don't yell at me, anyone, because you all know I love Bobby/VDO to pieces--but his appearance is disappointing. Between the beard and the extra weight he's carrying, he looks like a homeless person. It makes no sense, because we saw him cleaned up at the end of Purgatory--when would he have time to re-grow the beard? And don't police have a policy against beards?
Well, Please Note was filmed out of sequence so that explains the disappearing/reappearing beard, though they might have tried to mitigate the continuity problems by having Bobby clean shaven for Vanishing Act. But I agree that all the facial hair feels like it's just pulling him down. Enough already.
