Yes, Bonnie and Clyde. Estelle Parsons was the only Oscar winner, though Beatty, Dunaway, and Hackman were certainly better known. Wilder had a minor (but nonnegligible role. Dunaway's beret was all the fashion. George

Your analysis is correct. I'm surprised that you haven't hit on the movie. George

This movie was the film debut of Gene Wilder. It appeared just before "The Producers." Wilder did not have a major role. Of the four main stars, three were nominated for Oscars. Only one won one (Best Supporting Actress), though, arguably the least familiar of the four. Warner Brothers had so little faith in the film that they offered first-time Producer (and star) 40 percent of the gross, instead of a minimal fee. The movie went on to gross over $70 million. When that star was on-board as producer only, Shirley MacLaine was a strong possibility to costar. But when the producer decided to star, himself, for obvious reasons he decided not to use MacLaine. Thousands of berets were sold worldwide after one of the stars wore them in this film. The movie is based on real people. One of those people sued Warner Brothers over the way she was depicted in the film. This was after she had approved the script. Apparently, she thought the actress portraying her was not attractive enough and played her as too shrewish. (Incidentally, that actress was the one who won the Oscar.) George

I've never seen "Voyage of the Damned." Its title seemed aligned with at least a couple of the quotes. I don't "hear" any particular voice with the lines you accentuated. Almost sounds like a mom with her ne'er-do-well son. George

Well, "The Wanderer" and "Runaround Sue" are his MOST famous, but "Donna the Prima Donna," "Teenager in Love," and "Abraham, Martin, and John" are pretty well-known. I would recognize several others, as well. George

I was thinking "Voyage of the Damned" from this dialogue, but that story predates the Korean War. so, no. George

OK, fine. Donna the Prima Donna by Dion (and the Belmonts?) Whenever I heard this line: She wants to be just like Zsa Zsa Gabor I always thought it was She walks the beaches like Zsa Zsa Gabor. When I sing it in karaoke, it's She slaps policemen like Zsa Zsa Gabor. FREE POST. George

I used Darrin/Darrin from Bewitched and Bub/Uncle Charley from My Three Sons as examples of actor replacement in OTHER shows. George

Petticoat Junction is correct. Three ladies played Billie Jo (Jeannine Riley, Gunilla Hutton, and Meredith McRae -- the last two later appearing in Hee Haw!). The character name stayed the same (a la Darrin Stevens). Two ladies played Bobbi Jo (Pat Woodell, Lori Saunders). The character name stayed the same. Bea Benaderet ("Kate") died of cancer and was replaced by June Lockart ("Dr. Janet Craig" a new character). Mike Minor ("Steve") and Linda Henning ("Betty Jo" -- Paul Henning's daughter) got hitched in real life as well as on the show. "Green Acres" came a couple of years later. Situated in Hooterville, it crossed over with PJ a few times. The earlier show was "The Beverly Hillbillies." "Granny" was apparently from Hooterville and had had a romantic relationship with "Sam Drucker." "Hooterville" makes me think of Hooters. Especially the seen from the opening credits with the girls in the water tower with the lyric "Lots of curves, you bet! Even more, when you get -- to the junction!" WW is up. George

Yep. And you did it without DiCaprio. George

All the DC and Marvel movies which I've seen, I've seen in theaters (except the extended cut Justice League). (Living in Texas, I had the opportunity to see films in theaters when it was still forbidden in many states.) I have not seen all the DC and Marvel movies. George

During this show's run, one character was portrayed by two actors (a la Dick York/Dick Sargent). Another was portrayed by THREE actors. (Two of the latter three eventually wound up on Hee Haw!) Another actor contracted cancer during the run and was replaced by an actor playing a different role (a la William Frawley/William Demarest). The actors portraying a couple who got married during the show's run were actually a couple who got married during the show's run. The woman was the daughter of the show's creator. Not technically a spinoff, another show a couple of years later used many of the thematic elements of this show, including its location. The two crossed over occasionally. There was also a crossover with an earlier show. I could be wrong, but the town this show is set in could have been an inspiration for a popular sports bar chain. George

Just for completeness, I did not see the movie, and I have not sat next to either of you at ANY movie. George

Tom Swift in the CW version seems to be a gay, black Tony Stark. Rich, brilliant, self-absorbed. He even has an AI like Jarvis, though his is called Barclay (voiced, interestingly, by LeVar Burton). The opening episode had some interesting plot beginnings. The show is not bad, but also not compelling. George

Here are all teh lyrics except those with the title: Broke my heart We're apart Thinks she's smart I met a girl a month ago I thought that she would love me so But in time I realized She had a pair of roving eyes I remember the nights we dated Always acting sophisticated Talking about high society Oh then she tried to make a fool out of me Broke my heart now Thinks she's smart now We're apart now Pretty little girl you're just having fun You're running all around and breaking lover's hearts Pretty little girl, I don't stand a chance Without any money there goes our romance She always wears charms, diamonds, pearls galore She buys them at the five and ten cents store She wants to be just like Zsa Zsa Gabor Even though she's the girl next door George
