Welcome to Moogi
Welcome to Moogi. We are ecstatic that you have taken the time to visit us. What we do at Moogi is simple: gather and organize data from TV shows so that you, the fan, can access that info in a simple way, and at your convenience. If you are like me, at some point, while watching a TV show, movie or even a music-video, something caught your attention and left you yearning to dig deeper into the show or movie. For me, this started when I was a wee little lad.
In my younger years, I was obsessed with PBS; still am. I remember being hooked-on every episode of NATURE, Masterpiece Classics and NOVA. My Sunday night routine would commence with a can of Niagara Falls (spray starch), the ironing-board, iron, my navy-blue khakis and powder-blue button-down shirts. It was like clock-work. I would park the ironing board smack in front of the TV, just in time for NATURE. 7:55, I am straightening the hanger behind the TV to get clear signal. 8:05, my mom’s commanding, “back away from the TV”. A few minutes later, she is distracted and I am right back in front of the tube. I remember wanting to know more about everything that I was experiencing while watching the show: the geography, the animals, the narrator, the anthropologists, the theories, the history and of course, the soundtrack. I would spend the next day flipping through the encyclopedia, prolonging the experience as I dug deeper into the back-story of the episode I had watched. I’m sure you know exactly what I’m talking about.
Maybe your Sunday routine is spent hooked on Desperate Housewives. Or maybe you have a Monday routine, and you are fixated on House. Whatever your TV viewing habits, I am certain that we share the desire to know more about anything interesting that stimulates our curiosity during the course of watching the show. Whether it is the iconic collection of Manolo Blahniks that Carrie Bradshaw wore during countless episodes of Sex and the City, the recipe for Ghanaian fried-fish from one of Anthony Bourdain’s escapades, the trendy bars and lounges where Lauren Conrad and her gang frequent during The Hills, or even the memorable theme-song to How I Met Your Mother; things like these catch our attention and pique our curiosity while we are watching TV shows or movies. The problem, however, is how to access this information. With the absence of a viable solution, you either forget about that “thing”, go search for an answer on Google, or like me, a decade and a half ago, grab a book or two to find an answer.
My pre-pubescent solution was archaic, but that was ages ago. Google can provide a lot of great text results, but good luck sifting through those to find an answer. End-credits can maybe provide you with some ideas, but if your eye can race those scrolling texts, then you are in business. The issue at hand is simple; no one took the time to gather and consolidate answers to questions that we inevitably always ask ourselves when we are watching TV. The advent of IMDB in the 1990’s got us a step closer with information about the show’s cast. But what/who is Carrie wearing? What is Bourdain eating and how can I prepare it? Where in LA is LC partying? Who is the artist that performs the catchy theme song to How I Met Your Mother? Questions such as these get us jazzed-up at Moogi, because our business will venture where none have in the past, and give you the accurate answers you seek.
Like you, we at Moogi are TV fans and we recognize the need to address this problem. We have developed a simple platform to provide you and other fans of TV with answers to questions about what all of us see and hear while watching television shows.
