Some of the best television shows not only craft an amazing story that keeps the audience engaged, but they also leave room to let our imagination roll. From The Office to The Cosby Show, we picked 6 television shows and dove into their fan theories about the show. Did Heathcliff Huxtable drug his family at a BBQ? Was Tommy from Martin really a drug dealer all this time? Here are some of the wildest fan theories we could find.

Tommy from ‘Martin’ was a drug dealer. There was a running joke on the show that Tommy ain’t got no job, leading many people to believe that he was a drug dealer. A popular theory uses an episode where Hustle Man tried to sell Martin a pizza, Tommy heads to the door and pulls out a wad of cash to justify this myth. In actuality, Tommy was a counselor and several episodes were based on his job. Including a Christmas episode where Martin dressed up like Santa to visit the kids. Our friends over at Bossip also verify Tommy’s job with Tisha Campbell.

Pennywise from ‘IT’ and Other Mother from Coraline are the same type of being. A Reddit fan theory is heating up,  suggesting that Pennywise and Other Mother are the same type of creature. Reddit user OrganicKermistry writes: “Like Pennywise, she lures her victims and uses them as an emotional food source. Hers is not fear or laughter, but love. She consumes the love of these children she’s lured, leaving nothing left. Like Pennywise, her true form is not human, more like a giant humanoid spider. And finally, like Pennywise, she is defeated by the resistance of her charms.

Heathcliff Huxtable drugged his family without their knowledge in ‘The Cosby Show’ episode titled “The Last Barbeque.” In the episode, Cliff doesn’t say much the entire show. All the adult kids argue over strippers at a bachelor party as Cliff cooks during the BBQ. By the end of the episode, all the kids settle their problems and are all in love. That’s when Cliff says “Haven’t you ever noticed after people have some of my barbecue sauce, after a while when it kicks in they get all huggy-buggy?” said Huxtable. “I’m dead serious, haven’t you after noticed that after one of my barbecues and they have the sauce, people want to get right home?”

Dr. Claw is the real Inspector Gadget. In regards to the cartoon, we know Inspector Gadget to be made up of mostly robot parts after a horrible explosion left him for dead. The theory believes that his niece Penny remade Inspector Gadget into a bumbling fool and Dr. Claw, the real Gadget, wants to kill the robot version to protect his legacy, which is one of the reasons you only get to see his claw.

‘Breaking Bad’ and ‘Malcolm In The Middle’ happen in the same world.

There was also a clip filmed of Walt waking up as Hal after having a bad dream where he dreamed the whole Breaking Bad series. Funny stuff.
