  1. This is the longest-running spinoff of an even longer-running show. Miguel Ferrer was so devoted to his role, he refused to take time off, even when diagnosed with cancer. When it started to affect his voice, his illness was written into the character as well. The birthmark on one eye of one of the stars is such a uniquely beautiful feature that there are now cosmetic contact lenses with it on. George
  2. Inner Space Cross My Heart Captain Ron George
  3. This should be really easy: Lucky Day Theodoric of York Navin Johnson George
  4. Tom Skeritt Up in Smoke Tommy Chong George
  5. Dean Cain played the adoptive father of Supergirl, which would make him sort-or adoptive uncle of Superman. Lois and Clark. Final answer. George
  6. Superman no longer refers to being for truth, justice, AND THE AMERICAN WAY. That line comes from the intro to The Adventures of Superman. Henry Cavill quipped that he was in favor of truth and justice (in Man of Steel?). George
  7. The shows could be "Lois and Clark" and "Superman and Lois," but I'm not sure of the various roles. George
  8. I wasn't trying to pin it down as a Batman show. It has to be a show with at least two names in the title. Cartoons seemed likely genre. Bullwinkle and Rocky. Beany and Cecil. The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure. Of course, there are the live action ones, too. The aforementioned Laverne and Shirley. Desi and Lucy. I'm just not seeing this pseudo-sequel thing. George
  9. Right. We're looking for something like "Batman and Robin" and "The New Adventures of Batman and Robin." (Examples only. I don't think there has been a TV show with either title. But Batman and Robin would certainly predate any "Batman and Robin" TV show. And the characters have been around "for decades.") George
  10. Sounds like it's got Iron Man, Ant Man, Groot, Wakanda characters. Avengers Endgame? George
  11. Originally, I thought of Lenny and Squiggy; but they didn't have their own show. George
  12. King of the Road "You know I can be found sitting home all alone. If you can't come around, at least please telephone." George
  13. Was it a well-known song in its own right? (Like "Rain" being the B-side of "Paperback Writer.") George
  14. Sounds as though this show was a spinoff which either also had its own spinoff or ended quickly enough that the characters could appear again in the original. The characters' names are in the title. Laverne and Shirley? George
  15. One would think that having Michael Douglas and Robert Redford (not to mention the other stars) would make it obvious, but I'm drawing a blank. George
  16. Was it the second half of "Hey Jude" ? That song was twice as long as most singles of the time. George
  17. I finally got to listen to it. Not familiar, but a nice tune. George
  18. I know the song; I can't think of the title. George
  19. Messenger was sent to Mercury and Juno was sent to Jupiter. I would have accepted "comet" for Stardust. Specifically, it analyzed dust near the comet Wild-2. Curiosity was one of the Mars missions. NASA's GRAIL mission flew twin spacecraft—Ebb and Flow—in tandem around the Moon to map variations in the lunar gravitational field. The probes generated the highest resolution gravity map of any celestial body to date. At the end of the mission, the probes were purposely crashed on the Moon. As Ebb passed over an area of greater gravity, its speed slowed relative to Flow and increased in lesser gravity. Higher gravity meant denser rock, presumably caused by an asteroid impact. Lower density was presumed to be due to volcanic activity. I'll give it to Raf, with an assist from Human. George
