The term "fair weather friends" connotes folks who'll be good to you so long as your circumstances are good and (typically) they have something to gain from it. But if things take a turn for the worse, you can bank on it that they'll show their true colours and desert you.

Otherwise, that's a very impressive and extensive list, bloonuggets. :)

Insofar as Cheese-A-Go-Go is concerned, the suffix "A-Go-Go" was implemented on a number of entities in the mid-to-late 60s as a signature of implied hipness. In cartoons, for example, Batfink had a villain named Hugo A-Go-Go, and Wacky Races had an episode titled "Idaho-A-Go-Go." I digress, Cheese-A-Go-Go does fit the reference of Monsters-A-Go-Go given the source material.

I actually thought that the 'seize the day' term was from the famous line in the Robin Williams movie Dead Poets Society: 'Carpe, carpe diem, seize the day boys, make your lives extraordinary.'

Lol, it wasn't invented for that movie, it's a famous Latin phrase.

I just wanted to let you know that Season Six has been started on the episode list and each new episode (and explanation) will be added to said list as the new episodes will be released and aired, sometimes beforehand.

In that case, is there any chance of you correcting the entry for "Affair Weather Friends"? Don't mean to nitpick, but Fair Weather Friends aren't the sort who stick together through thick and thin, quite the opposite in fact.

Fixed it for you.

Cool, thanks. Once again, I hope you can forgive me for being so nitpicky, but I guess it's all in the interests of creating a thorough and comprehensive list. :)

Got a quick explaination on the first episode of Season Six, "Jackie Khones and The Case of the Overdue Library Books" for you.

If you remember the 1980's Perry Mason made-for-TV movies starring Raymond Burr, they always used the formal title of "Perry Mason and The Case of the..." in the titles. This has already been mentioned there, so I'd thought I'd share it with you.

"Go Goo Go" sounds a lot like "Go Go Go".

I just realized another potential title for that episode: "My Friend Goo", the name of a song from the 1990 Sonic Youth album "Goo".
