* How big is Orson? From almost every other bit of evidence, it would seem that since Orson is large enough to have a Red Lobster, it's at least about the size of, say Joplin, Missouri (40,000 to 50,000 people), but it's never been said to be much bigger. On the other hand, when Axl and his buddies try (and fail) to paint "Snorson" on the water tower, they talk about the football team winning a "city championship," implying that Orson has at least one more high school that's never been mentioned on the show.

** Another thing is that in the episode with Brad's coming out, it's still very vague, so much that without Frankie's narration later the audience couldn't even be really sure that's what he meant. So technically there's no way of knowing whether Sue (or even Brad for that matter) takes this admission as just meaning he's ''attracted'' to guys and has no interest in girls, or whether he actually intends to ''date'' guys. Even the Christians who consider homosexuality a sin don't generally consider being homosexual ''itself'' a sin, and see only ''acting'' on the attraction as the sinful part. Brad's coming out doesn't really seem to imply any revelation of what he means to ''do'' with this realization, so even if Sue has beliefs that ''would'' otherwise make her worry about him, it's not all that unusual that given the context she'd just assume the best (from her religious point of view) about which way he meant it unless she was given definite reason to think otherwise.
