FRUITY PUFFS

Over the past few years, I've contributed a lot of fictional cereal sightings from TV shows to Topher's Breakfast Castle website. (You can find the link, as you can probably guess, to the left.)

But it wasn't until today when I thought to look through his list that I realized that two of my contributions actually linked two TV shows together!

Here's the reports from Topher's site:

Fruity Puffs

'Psych'
In a flashback to 1985, the main character of USA Network's 'Psyche' (Shawn Spencer) is upset that his box of Fruity Puffs didn't contain the promised magic decoder ring, so he wanted his policeman father to haul in the cereal people for questioning.

'Men In Trees'
An episode of ABC-TV's 'Men In Trees' had boxes of Fruity Puffs and Rice Critters on display at the Elmo, Alaska, general store. The Fruity Puffs came into play when Anne Heche used a box to hide her face from other shoppers as she talked with the game warden.

The last time I had fictional breakfast cereals linking two TV series, it was an oddly painted box with a black dot in the upper corner seen in an episode of 'My Favorite Martian' and in another one from 'The Courtship Of Eddie's Father'.

What made that interesting (slightly) outside of the Toobworld reality was that both shows starred Bill Bixby.
