Trivia : Paul Scheuring had said that the initial concept for the series (a man deliberately getting himself sent to prison in order to break out again) was suggested to him by a female colleague of his. He thought it was a great idea, but was initially stumped as to why someone would embark on such a strange mission or how he could stretch the idea out long enough for a TV show. He later came up with the idea of the wrongfully accused brother, and the conspiracy subplot. He then started work on writing the pilot script for the show.

Goofs : Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Michael says that he chose Panama because there is no extradition treaty. Based on the date on Sara’s father’s tombstone, 1 July 2005, Michael was still incarcerated on 8 May 2005 when the United States and Panama entered into an extradition treaty, explaining why he would be unaware that the brothers could be extradited.

Plot Summary : The character-driven toon chronicles the nautical and sometimes nonsensical adventures of SpongeBob, an incurably optimistic and earnest sea sponge, and his undersea friends. Dwelling a few fathoms beneath the tropical isle of Bikini Atoll in the sub-surface city of Bikini Bottom, SpongeBob lives in a two-story pineapple. Instead of taking the logical approach to everyday challenges, SpongeBob approaches life in a wayward and unconventional way. Whether searching for the ultimate spatula to perfect his burger flipping technique at the Krusty Krab, or just hanging out with his best friend Patrick (an amiable starfish), SpongeBob’s good intentions and overzealous approach to life usually create chaos in his underwater world.

In the ocean, there is a town called Bikini Bottom. The residents of Bikini Bottom are all fish. But there is a certain fry cook named Spongebob Squarepants. Just getting a job at Bikini Bottom’s most popular restaurant The Krusty Krab, he lives a crazy life with his hard-headed neighbor, and friend, Patrick. His next door Neighbor Squidward is a sarcastic, boring squid who can’t stand Spongebob and Patrick. In the Krusty Krab, Spongebob’s Boss, Eugene Krabs is one of the most money-greedy men alive. He’s probably the most money-greedy man alive. So, in Spongebob’s life, life under the sea is always quirky and crazy.

Spongebob Squarepants is a talking square sponge "who lives in a pineapple under the sea." His relentless cheerfulness gets on the nerves of his grumpy neighbor, Squidward Tentacles. Spongebob works as a frycook at the Crusty Crab, owned by the kind-hearted but greedy Mr. Crabs. Spongebob’s other pals are Gary, SB’s pet snail, Patrick Star, a simple-minded starfish, and Sandy Cheeks, a space-suit wearing Texan squirrel.

This show takes place under the sea, in a little town of Bikini Bottom. Many sea creatures live there. None of them however are as loveable as Spongebob Squarepants. He lives in a Pinappele with his pet snail Gary. He lives next door to Squidward Tenticles, a boring and stuffy squid that hates Spongebob. He Also lives near his best friend Patrick Star, a little dumb starfish who really loves ice cream. He goes to work at the Krusty Krab, a local restaurant runned by the greedy Mr. Eugene Krabs. Some of other Spongebobs friends include Sandy, a squirrel who lives in an underwater air dome, there is Pearl, Mr. Krabs’s teenage and bratty daughter, Larry and SCooter, who are two local beach bums. There is also Mrs. Puff who teaches Spongebob how to drive. Oh, and I shouldn’t leave out Plankton, an evil organism whos restaurant is the most unpopular in the sea.

Plot Summary : A rap version of "Saturday Night Fever." B-Rabbit, a wannabe rapper from the wrong side of Detroit’s 8 Mile, has problems: he dumps his girlfriend when she tells him she’s pregnant; to save money to make a demo tape, he moves into his alcoholic mom’s trailer; his job’s a dead end, and he’s just choked at the local head-to-head rap contest. Things improve when he meets Alex – an aspiring model headed for New York – and a fast-talking pal promises to set up the demo. Then new setbacks: Alex isn’t faithful, mom rejects him, rifts surface with his friends, and he’s mugged by rivals. Everything hinges on the next rap showdown at the club. Can B-Rabbit pull truth out of his cap?

A young rapper in Detroit struggles with his anger through music. Can a white kid with a blue vocabulary and lots of hate in his heart transcend his meager beginnings and attain global superdupermegastar success?

The people of Detroit know 8 Mile as the city limit, a border, a boundary. It is also a psychological dividing line that separates Jimmy Smith Jr. from where and who he wants to be. 8 Mile examines a critical week in Jimmy’s life.
