Well, maybe it was just me, but I got the impression that the scene with
the TP sign was just SO television-ish, that the movie was almost mocking
the conventions of the series.  After all, the movie doesn't exactly take
a pro-TV tone -- look at the real title sequence (and the opening image),
after all...

Hmm, a thought.  How exactly does a TV work?  ELECTRICITY.  Hmm?...  :-)
