They were probably four when they watched the show.
And whoever would still watch the show now can’t be terribly mature. I tried watching it later on, but it looked incredibly fake and stupid.

[Noon] Oh, Stop!
[Humphrey] That’s sick.
[Frenchy] I agree. Nutter, you were singing in the wrong key!
[Nutter] No I wasn’t. It was Loutzenheiser. I was singing in Eb minor.
[Frenchy] The song’s in F# major!
[Bell] I think they’re the same thing. I mean, Eb is the relative minor of F#.
[Frenchy] No, it isn’t. The relative minor is 3 half-tones down from the major, not up!
[Noon] No, it’s 3 down. Like A is the relative minor of C major.
[Loutzenheiser] But isn’t A# in C major?
[Bell] Wait, are you singing Mixolydian scales, or something?
[Frenchy] A# is tonic to C major. It’s the 6!
[Humphrey] No it isn’t!
[Swan] Well, it’d be like a raised 13th if anything.

I just realized something about this. When Noon corrects Frenchy, he agrees with him. Frenchy says,
“The relative minor is 3 half-tones down…” and then Noon says, “No, it’s 3 down.” I don’t understand
