Hey, someone's coming! Must be "the Lone Ranger", with Jay Silverheels as Tonto. I have no idea how an Indian got a name that means "idiot" in Spanish. However, I still like the joke that the LR (Clayton Moore acting the role) and Tonto broke up because the LR finally found out what "Kemosabe" meant. There was also a Far Side comic where the Lone Ranger, obviously in his 80s or 90s and long retired, reads a dictionary and finds the definition as "a horse's behind." Best joke was probably that Tonto actually called him "Que no sabe" all that time. (Very loosely translates to "Know Nothing".)

Ok, a game show round. Identify ONE OR MORE to take the round. A) This is a game show that lasted for several seasons, on different channels, and even spawned a video game based on gameplay. The actual gameplay was pretty straightforward, but a lot of the show's success was based not on the gameplay, but on STYLE. The gameplay for an entire episode could be over in less than 5 minutes, but we padded it out with responses from the audience, with feedback from family members there to support the player, and with the show's unseen antagonist occasionally doing something unexpected in the game area. In at least a few episodes, we saw the show's antagonist very clearly and got to hear them. That was because they got permission to exchange the antagonist for DARTH VADER, and there's no reason to include him if you can't see or hear him. The rest of the show's cast also got a wardrobe change for those episodes, as well (all 26 of them), although the host kept his suits. The name of the show is easy to understand for anyone who has watched even one episode of the show, since the show is dominated by asking one simple question. The name of the show is NOT written as a question despite that. B) This game show has 2 teams face off against each other. Each team plays in turns. A sentence was posed to a group of the general public, with a word or phrase missing, with each person asked to fill in the blank. The most common answers are chosen, and placed on the board, with only the first letter of each word showing. (So, if one of the most common answers was "Greasespot Cafe", the board would show 'G_________ C___".) Each player is given a chance to guess words on the board. If they get one right, they guess again, and wrong answers mean play passes to the next team member until time runs out.

Tombstone "Sunshine came softly through my window today"

In that case, "I'm your huckleberry." George

Nope, that correct "Top Gun". Posted if after I heard Val Kilmer passed.

Correct. George

~Paul Revere~ song which one?? Kicks

bump

Never mind

Oh I think I got something now, I think it's Bee Gees let me just go get their Greatest Hits album to name it. Not really. I Just Want To Be Your Everything

I did some fact checking* after posting the Alan Rickman clue. He was in Dogma right? I thought I picked that up here if memory serves me, from one of you guys posting it. And just in case, I'll post this to keep it going. Bruce Willis Blind Date John Laraquette Scratch that, thanks to you guys that is right.

How long has it been since we've used Alan Rickman but maybe that was in another thread. Alan Rickman something (Dogma) with Matt Damon The Bourne Identity

"Um, that right, Kemosabe." George

Got it in one! Correct!

Presumed Innocent Bonnie Bedelia Die Hard George

Ok, George posted before I did, so his post counts. Proceeding from "Jaws". Richard Dreyfuss American Graffiti Harrison Ford

Ok, did an image search on Sandahl Bergman. Recognized her face from another role. Airplane II- the Sequel Herve Villechaize the Man With the Golden Gun (That should at give at least 2 good actors to link from-the one who played James Bond, and the one who played Francisco Scaramanga.)

All That Jazz Roy Scheider Jaws George

Sounds like Arte Johnson on Rowan and Martin's Laugh-in. George

I'm thinking Top Gun, but "wingman" has other meanings, so I'm not sure. George

Happy Together "Girl, you thought you found the answer on that magic carpet ride last night, But when you wake up in the mornin' the world still gets you uptight." George

"I had visions, I was in them I was looking into the mirror, to see a little bit clearer the rottenness and evil in me. Fingertips have memories, Mine can't forget the curves of your body. And when I feel a bit naughty, I run it up the flagpole and see who salutes, but no one ever does. I'm not sick but I'm not well, and I'm so hot 'cause I'm in hell." *skip* "We're no strangers to love. You know the rules and so do I (Do I). A full commitment's what I'm thinking of. You wouldn't get this from any other guy. I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand." "We've known each other for so long Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it (To say it) Inside, we both know what's been going on (Going on) We know the game, and we're gonna play it. And if you ask me how I'm feeling Don't tell me you're too blind to see." Please name the song in boldface. (Bragging rights if you can name the song NOT in boldface, which is harder.) (Actually, the word "paranoia" APPEARS in the plain text one, but it's not the title. Didn't think of that until I reviewed all the lyrics.)

I know who Mako is, a bit. He's one of a handful of Asian actors who got all the roles as "the Asian guy" in TV and movies and so on. All of them showed up on MASH at some point. I remember him from that, and some other TV appearances here and there. (Mako appeared 4 times on MASH as 4 different characters. The first was the North Korean officer in charge of a prisoner exchange, Dr Lin Tam. He's the one who was offended when one of the doctors pulled a gun- until he saw the actual pistol Frank Burns pulled, and wasn't impressed. "What the hell is that?" The second was Major Choi, in charge of a Korean army hospital. That's a hard role to remember, but he recognized Frank Burns by reputation- "old Ferret Face." The third was the one I remember best, South Korean Lieutenant Hung Lee Park, in charge of a wounded prisoner they tried to help escape. That was the officer who played chess with Major Winchester. Finally, he played the North Korean soldier who had a wounded comrade. He found Hawkeye driving, and held him at gunpoint, trying to get him to treat the soldier without allowing him to move the soldier, whose chest injury looked bad but his head injury didn't and was a LOT more serious.) The name "Sandahl Bergman" isn't ringing a bell yet.
