#29: You Have Reached Murray…
The universe of film and television is one crazy concept. So many things have to look the same as real-life but often aren’t real at all. Take phone numbers and number plates for cars… All of these things have to exist in the world of film and television, but no one said anything about them being real.
In season 3, if you look close enough, you can see Murray’s phone number appear on the screen. Believe it or not, you can actually call this number in real life and you will reach Murray’s voicemail. He talks about his mother and then leaves a message for Joyce Byers…
“If this is Joyce, Joyce, thank you for calling, I have been trying to reach you. I have an update. It’s about, well, it’s probably best if we speak in person. It’s not good or bad, but it’s something.”
