Why past tense? & grammatical errors generally

edit

Past tense is used here as if Cliff has died. Even if production has halted, present tense is called for. See WP:WAF, "By convention, these synopses should be written in the present tense, as this is the way that the story is experienced as it is read or viewed". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chris the speller (talkcontribs) 15:39, 8 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

There are dozens of minor grammatical errors in the article, making it more difficult to read. I suggest a light edit but don't want to sound pedantic. Doug123w (talk) 00:32, 10 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Jeopardy 23-Sep-08

edit

Tonight's episode of Jeopardy has the category "Five(sic) people who have never been in my kitchen". Notable beyond this discussion page? BBrucker2 (talk) 02:09, 24 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Cliff in love/lust

edit

"didn't have any real relationship (or, for that matter, any sexual experience) until meeting fellow oddball postal worker Margaret O'Keefe" In a way this is a bit of a retcon they did. In an episode where he was considering proposing to Carla's sister/cousin, forget which, it's pretty clear he had sex with her and with at least one other woman before her as he remarked about how she "did things it takes years to learn" once he accepted she wasn't a virgin.--T.

'Buffalo theory' section removed

edit

I removed the section of this article that featured a spurious quote about 'Buffalo theory', which as it noted, is an urban legend that never appeared on the show. Unless anyone can provide sources to show that it's notable (and related to Cliff Clavin), it doesn't belong here. Robofish (talk) 00:23, 24 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Kid show?

edit

Wasn't there a kid show he appeared in as well? I wish i remembered what it was called, I only remember him singing "I'm Gonna Mail Myself to You" in one of the episodes.-- Legeres (talk) 14:18, 8 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Removed entry #1

edit

Ratzenberger appeared on the cover of some of the books in the series The Complete Idiot's Guide to..., presumably as Cliff, the self-styled expert on everything.

The above entry may violate "no original research" rule because there should be no presumptions. Until Cliff Clavin is mentioned in those Idiot's Guide to... books, above must not be added back again. --George Ho (talk) 22:51, 5 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Should Add

edit

Someone should add how Ratzenbrger spoof his Cliff Clavin character in the movie "House II: The Second Story." Only, in this incarnation, he wasn't full of hot air. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.241.240.42 (talk) 21:09, 18 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
