As a huge fan of "Mama's Family" and a fan of (most of) the "Halloween" film series; my mind is blown!

I actually did know about this. The real question is can this be used as a way to explain what happened to Sonja and Buzz?

Nah, somehow Zack Morris got to them first too.

(EDIT: but seriously, didn't they try to explain them away in the syndicated version? Or just Eunice and Ed? I need to go back to my DVDs finally.)

And now I'm hoping someone makes a similar connection to the Cunninghams' house and the Winslows. To let our wildest imaginations run wild about Chuck and Judy too.

They were name checked in the season three premiere (the first episode in first-run syndication), but there was no explanation on where they went or what happened to them. Subsequent episodes acted as if they never existed.

Like I said, I have to resume my DVDs. A friend of mine helped me compile the entire series.
