Love how you knew right away that Maude Pearson's ghost made a mistake by calling Cordelia a bitch.

This title can be interesting in terms of knowing real people's generation, as it is how ads used to be in papers. But at the same time considering the newer generation created shortened words for internet writing, it creates a _why do they not know how to read the title of this episode_ question, sometimes. Therefore, while I understand the confusion, it also can baffle me, as well.

It is really an interesting little pun, where the abbreviation common with newspaper ads may be hard to pick up, if you haven't seen the abbreviation. But of course, deja vu, kind of neat to work it in there. Also, Phantom Dennis, Phantom Menace.

The missing fact about the title is that classified ads used to charge by the letter, so people would phrase things with the max amount of abbreviations to save money

Doyle isn't just part human in the sense that all demons are (not true demon), his mother was actually human.

Maude Pearson is played by Beth Grant, who was one of the bus hostages in the action drama, "Speed" (1994), which Joss Whedon did some script doctoring on.

Gotta love Denis in this show. Rm w/a Vu ( the tilte of course refers to the old classified adverts in the papers years ago to rent out flats ) was a funny and interesting episode in some ways shadowing BTVS S4 episode Living Conditions, with Angel's carefree bachelor pad being invaded by Cordelia causing disruption similar to Buffy and Kathy in Living Conditions. We know that the house Cordelia takes has to have something wrong with it as its so cheap and available. Denis the person who the evil mother walled up and murdered becomes Cordelia's ghostly flatmate. Cordelia facing down the evil mother is a great scene, and Denis and her have the perfect relationship. Some great one liners and comedy again here as well in this episode.

Brits call apartments flats and roommates flatmates. 😉👍

@Leafsdude_ Ай бұрын

Just to point out, in case it's not obvious, but the reason why you used shortforms in old classified was because newspapers charged by the character. So it was about half the cost to pay for the 9 characters in "Rm w/a Vu" than it was to pay for the 16 characters in "room with a view".

@ronfehr7899 Ай бұрын

At the end of the episode, Cordelia refers to the ghost as Phantom Dennis. The reason for this is quite amusing. The episode aired some time after Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.

It is an apartment - you enter it from a hallway. No idea how many other apartments are in the building, but it isn't a full house all by itself. 🙂

Huh, it really looked like a full house, maybe it's just luxurious

Phantom Dennis is the best roommate! Though he doesn't help with the rent, he also doesn't eat...

@colej.banning2419 Ай бұрын

I mean, he indirectly helped with the rent, since he and his mother are the reason it was so low to begin with.

I had an actual impact on this episode. The show got the clearance to use the song, "You Only Hurt the One's You Love" at such a late moment that we couldn't get a master from the label, so you are listening to my CD (which I since had to sell). For pronunciation: Espenson = S-pen-son Minear = MY-near

@@PJAvenger Vraiment? :) My highschool French is extremely rusty, took it in the early 70s, but it was one of two languages available at the time where I grew up in Vermont, and it made sense to take as Vermont shares a border with Quebec. Sadly, I've never visited; we went to Ontario to visit some of my Mom's family, her dad had immigrated from Ontario, but never to Quebec. Ah well, c'est la vie!
