  1. Which also had color episodes. You are correct. I wonder how far $200 would go in the late 50's. George
  2. "Look. They need machines to fly." "What bravery. Be nice to them, my dear. Blow them a kiss." "I didn't sleep a wink last night. Do you know what it's like to hear birds singing at dawn, after you've just spend the whole night crying...?" "Blood. It's my blood. I think... maybe we'd better hire a bodyguard from now on." "I don't want a bodyguard. I want the man I fell in love with." George
  3. The main character uses a Nokia 9000 Communicator cell phone. This phone was very cutting-edge when it was introduced in 1996, as it functioned as both a handheld phone and a clamshell pocket computer, complete with a mini-QWERTY keyboard, and several built-in apps. While filming in Oxford, England, the producers had the Bodleian Library (the main library of The University of Oxford) closed to the public for several days. This caused much complaint in the University, as a large proportion of the students were studying for exams. When the main character is disguised as a long-haired artist, his accent is a passable imitation South African, specifically Capetonian. He refers to his "home in Africa" and uses the vernacular Afrikaans pronunciation of Jesus ("Yissus!") as an expletive. The star learned the accent from a South African assistant with whom he worked on his previous movie. George
  4. Dan Aykroyd Annette Benning Brent Spiner George
  5. Really??? Skipping the OBVIOUS Debra Winger, let's go with Barry Corbin War Games Matthew Broderick George
  6. In the first episode of this show, the main character's parents are named Eben and Sarah, definitely not the names of the same roles in other shows. After the first couple of seasons, all the main characters wore the same clothes in every episode, so there would not be obvious continuity errors when reusing footage. Initially the cast regulars were paid $200 per episode. They had to beg the producer to give them a $50 raise, which they got, but he didn't speak to any of them for two weeks afterwards. George
  7. King Henry II Michael James Jack, 14th Earl of Gurney Arthur Chipping Don Quixote Robinson Crusoe Tiberius Lord Chelmsford Alan Swann George
  8. I haven't heard that one in decades, but George
  9. I'm pretty busy. I'll have another one up soon. (Movie mash-up, too.) George
  10. This may well be. I'm not getting it, though. George
  11. Actually, I'm not sure that I've seen (all of) Cannonball Run. I do remember some highlights, but that's it. George
  12. It really was entertaining. Lots of JSA memories. George
  13. Stargirl ended its run on a high note. Most of the action of the last episode ends about 40 minutes in, with the rest of the time tying up loose ends. The Shade gives the recap (including a reference to Justice League of America 100 -- I wonder if I'm the only one who got it), with a surprise cameo at the end, indicating possible future adventures. If you haven't watched the show at all, you still might like this episode. If you've been watching it, I'm sure you'll like it. George
  14. This is a Christmas concert with two local community bands combined. (I happen to play in both of them.) Note that the video starts with pretty much nothing. Music starts at 5 minutes. Go to 22:10 for a surprise. George
  15. Deja vu. I know I've seen most of these clues before, but it's a movie I haven't seen, and so I don't remember it from the clues. George
  16. Well, he did say it can be a free post. George
  17. Seems vaguely familiar (especially, "You know you never will, you know you never will"); but I'm not getting it. George
  18. Blow Out John Travolta Urban Cowboy George
