    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      At the end of his song, Reverend Timtom (Paul Hipp) says "...Christ, not X", in reference to the commonly used abbreviation Xmas in place of the longer 'Christmas'. The "X" in Xmas is actually the Greek letter chi, not the letter "x". Chi (pronounced as 'ch' in English) is the first letter of Christ in Greek, and has been used since ancient times in artwork and manuscripts as an abbreviation for Christ. Xmas should properly be pronounced 'Christmas', not 'eksmas'. This is a common mistake that a "trained" minister shouldn't make.
    • Goofs
      Axl is in Sue's room and views Bob in the front yard punching the snowman. The only windows to the front are the front room and the dining room, Sue's room faces the back yard.
    • Quotes

      Brick Heck: Mom, you never told me church was based on a book.

      Frankie Heck: I assumed you knew. It's the number one best-selling book of all time.

      Brick Heck: Hm. Well, it's a real page-turner.
