This is an attempt to keep track of Vonnegut references in
movies and television shows. This is the newest section of the
site and some of the examples are a little unclear. If you have
information to add, or would like to submit a new Vonnegut
sighting, please email
me! Thanks! Someone recently emailed me about a possible Mystery
Science Theatre 3000 Vonnegut reference . . has anyone else
noticed this?

My So Called Life |
In one episode, Rayanne's (AJ Langer) mother tells Angela (Claire Danes) that she (the mom) and Angela's mother (played by Bess Armstrong) are part of the same karass. I think this is the same episode that Jordan and Rayanne are in a band that covers the Ramones, I Wanna Be Sedated. | afn27907@afn.org |
