"Syracuse" Mentions

[SWC75]

I love watching old movies and Tv shows. When I hear the word "Syracuse" my ears perk up. Maybe yours do, too. I decided to have a thread of Syracuse mentions.

I'm doing a project of re-creating actor's careers, (virtually everything is on the internet these days). I'm doing the famous gangsters of Hollywood's Golden Era: Robinson, Cagney and Bogart. Here is "Big City Blues", Bogart's frist appearance in a Warner Brothers film, the studio where he became famous:

Nick and Schmidt (New Girl) went to Cuse. It’s unclear if Winston went as well. If he did, he played for JB.

Winston was caught with his pants down and a tissue in his hands when Nick hitchhiked across the country to visit him in college. So he sadly did not play for JB.

The New Girl Syracuse/Los Angelese continuity is all kinds of messed up.

Here's another from my Robinson-Cagney-Bogart project. The film, "Picture Snatcher", from 1933 is a really entertaining film if you've got an hour and 17 minutes to spare. It perfectly distills Cagney's appeal from when he first became a star. The Syracuse reference comes at the 47:40 mark but watch the whole picture if you can. It won't be a waste of your time. (The scene just before this at the 46:00 mark, where Cagney gives his account of what he saw, full of street slang, and the blonde types up a version that sounds like it's from Edgar Allen Poe, is hilarious.)

Dunder Mifflin has a Syracuse branch.

They went to war with the Scranton office for paper clients left available when the Binghamton branch closed down.

Syracuse always got Twilight Zone mentions.

As, I think, a tip of the hat to that, Syracuse was mentioned in an X-Files episode once. The context was of an airline flight to or from Syracuse having some kind of trouble (potential UFO related but I don’t remember the particulars).

There was a Syracuse sorority mention on the season 2 finale of “The Sex Lives of College Girls”.
