'COMMUNITY'
"BASIC LUPINE UROLOGY"
Toobworld Central has always maintained that the 'Law & Order' series
which was cited in other TV shows was not the same as that seen in the real
world. At first it was claimed that it was a reality series; but since several
of its characters and actors were mentioned in dialogue over the years, then it
had to be a recreation of cases handled by the "real" cops of the 27th
Precinct.
In that, it is little different from how 'Dragnet' was presented for the
Trueniverse audience - the stories were true, but the names may have been
changed to protect the innocent.
So it wasn't a Zonk to see Troy and Abed behave as though they were cops on
that show while they investigated the "murder" of a yam.
CHA-CHUNG!
One of the "real" people from 'Law & Order' was medical examiner Dr.
Elizabeth Rodgers (who by rights should have been inducted into the TV Crossover
Hall of Fame by now.) She was played by Leslie Hendrix, who also made an
appearance in this episode as a botanist. (Whether she was attached to
Greendale Community College or some other institution is unknown.)
The botanist had no name listed in the credits but she looked, sounded, and
acted like Dr. Rodgers when she reports her findings to the detectives. But in
this case, the subject was a "murdered" yam.
This is easy to splain away - the botanist was Dr. Rodgers' twin sister.
One of them had to have moved far from home since Dr. Rodgers was in New York
City and the botanist was in Greendale, Colorado. Or perhaps they both moved
from a third location. And should high-def technology reveal her name on her ID
badge, that won't be an impediment to this theory of relateeveety. Either one
of them - or even both - were using their married name.
Should it turn out that Dr. Rodgers revealed that she was an only child, or
at least that she had no twin siblings, then the botanist was an illegitimate
half-sister Rodgers knew nothing about or the traditional "identical
cousin".
BCnU!
