Late Night Theory: The Critic

So I've been watching the animated series The Critic again, highly underrated show. Anyway, all of a sudden I'm thinking of a theory that hit me. Namely, that Jay Sherman's adopted mother Eleanor had his sister Margo because he decided to go to film school. Okay, here's the basics: The show aired beginning in 1994, and Jay mentions in an episode or two that he's 36 years old, meaning he would have been born in 1958. Meanwhile, Margo is 16 years old, a teenager, so she would have been born around 1978. The age of the parents is a bit harder to pin down, but Franklin was a graduate of a school in 1954, before he discovered booze, so it reasons that he and Eleanor around 62 years old in the show. So, what then? Well, one episode, the one where Eleanor makes a children's book about Jay as a pig, makes mention that he dropped out of law school to become a film critic. Another says film school but, that's not the point. Point is, this could easily have been around 77 or 78, Jay drops out of law school and such. And Eleanor probably would be in her late forties at this time, disappointed, probably almost at menopause, so they decide to have another heir instead of Jay. That's the guess anyway.
