If It's Sundae, It Must Be Belgian Chocolate

Fox's Sunday lineup, a confection of sitcoms, swags us a pun of a D-I-Y sundae kit: each ingredient connected to one from their roster -- chocolate malt balls for "Oliver Beene," Beer Nuts for "King of the Hill," sprinkles for "The Simpsons," M&Ms for "Malcolm in the Middle," gummy bears for the "Bernie Mac Show," plus a sundae dish and ice cream scoop linked to "Arrested Development." A jar of fudge sauce, serving to cover everything literally and thematically, is labelled "Sunday Sundae."

While some ponder the Beer Nuts phenomenon, or the proclivities of gummy bears, there may be some trademark infringement laywers salivating like Pavlov's dog (not Pavlov's Dog) about whether those chocolate malt balls are Whoppers Malted Milk Balls, or those gummy bears are Gummibaeren. Such trademark issues are why the ice cream dessert is spelled sundae; not!
