Tornadoes in Kansas? "No good deed goes unpunished?" Anyone else thinks this is less than a coincidence?
I'm loving the "Wicked" references in tonight's Ugly Betty...

I bet people on the Off-Topic Board will care.
Or not.

Well... Tornadoes in Kansas isn't really a stretch and the phrase "No good deed goes unpunished" was around waaay before Wicked.

"Oh please, Over at 'Gypsy' Patti LuPone hasn't even alienated her first daughter yet!" Mary Testa in "Xanadu" "...Like a drunk Chita Rivera!" Robin de Jesus in "In the Heights"
"B*tch, I don't know your life." -Xanadu After that if he still doesn't understand why you were uncomfortable and are now infuriated, kick him again but this time with Jazz Hands!!! -KillerTofu

I really don't think it was a Wicked reference. Tornadoes are common in Kansas which is probably one of the reasons the location was chosen for The Wizard of Oz and the no good deed phrase predates Wicked. It was a coincidence, maybe, but I don't believe it to have been a direct reference.

well, im sure it wasnt a direct reference to wicked... although, Betty Suarez Loves wicked... duH! there was a complete episode last season dedicated to it, and the plot lines were woven together.. so although its just coincidence, she does love wicked :)

We are all acutely aware. Thanks.^
I am already getting a headache of all the people thinking Stephanie J. Block singing "no good deed goes unpunished" in 9 to 5 is a reference.

Did anyone think there was an intentional "Into the woods" reference when that guy said it to Vanessa Williams?
Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

How can some guy saying you ready to go "Into the woods" to Vanessa Williams (or whatever it was) be a co-incidence, they must have known it has puns

Oh come on, guys. With the previous Wicked mentions (even scenes from Wicked when Betty and her date went) do you honestly think it was just a coincidence that they picked Kansas to have a tornado and that Betty ends up being called Tornado Girl, complete with t-shirts. You don't give those writers much credit for being clever do you? Of course it was planned!

If I were Dolly Parton, I'd flip the lines in "Shine Like the Sun" and give that one to one of the other actors.

I'm annoyed over the Queens accent the character of Justin seems to have much more obviously than he used to. I understand he lives there, and his mother has one too, but for some reason his character is starting to annoy me and I don't want to be annoyed by him because he's a great character.
