Rube Goldberg machine
[edit]Does anyone want to add maybe the similarity to a Rube Goldberg machine? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Setsuna29 (talk • contribs) 15:44, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
- They seem to be deliberately avoiding any mentions of "Rube Goldberg"... Jcollie (talk) 03:23, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
- Which is ridiculous. We're talking about a term that the 1931 Miriam Webster dictionary defined here. It might still have trademark/copyright laws preventing /THEM/ from using it, but Wikipedia can certainly use the term. 71.196.157.212 (talk) 23:58, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
- They are probably avoiding it for the same reason--on television--you say "carbonated soda" or just "cola" instead of the name brand "Coca-Cola" or "tissue paper" instead of "Kleenex". While I do not know if "Rube Goldberg machine" has ever been a trademarked term, it is important for terminology used on television to be as basic as possible since the United States is rarely the only country that will be watching a television series. Possibly very few people in, for instance, Italy or Japan have any idea who Rube Goldberg was, and thus it would not translate well to use his name when this series is shown in those countries. People would have to go search to find out who he is just to get that unimportant detail out of the way. — CobraWiki ( jabber | stuff ) 06:47, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Season Two
[edit]The article doesn't meantion if there will be a second season or when it might start. Does anyone know? If they already decided there won't be, that should be listed as well.74.100.47.237 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:10, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
