  2. Admittedly, this opening line isn't that iconic, but the phrase "weekend squire" would have given it to me. Pleasant Valley Sunday (Monkees) FREE POST Georg
  3. You're So Vain "Your local rock group down the street is trying hard to learn this song to serenade the weekend squire just came out to mow his lawn." George
  4. "Kokomo" (when the Beach Boys beat out George Harrison for the longest time between number 1 songs...) This song SHOULD qualify for this thread, but with only a handful of players, maybe not: It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day I was out choppin' cotton, and my brother was balin' hay George

  7. All right. It was "Outlaws." It did very well on its premiere, but lost audience each week. FREE POST George

  10. I like CCR, but this one isn't ringing any bells. George
  11. A remake of this 1960s movie was made in the late 1990s. Only three of the original cast lived long enough to see the remake. One cast member appears in both films. In the dance party scene, where the layer cake falls off the beak of the totem pole and drops onto Miss Inch's face, writer and director David Swift originally wanted to cut the shot of the cake-fall. But when producer Walt Disney saw the rushes, he told Swift to leave the shot in, saying it would be the biggest laugh in the movie. Turns out, Walt was right. In the shot where "Mitch Evers" trips on the chair, he fell so hard, he cracked a rib, and kept right on with the scene. The actor was a true professional. Susan Henning took on the role as the star's body double for many of the twin shots in the movie. As part of her contract, she signed away her rights to be credited. At the wrap party, Walt Disney presented her with a small statue of Donald Duck, called "The Duckster", in recognition of the "best unseen performance on film." The star later said that Henning taught her to speak like a "California girl." George

  13. Anyone? I would really not be surprised if no one remembers it, but I thought it was fun. George

  18. OK. I'm going to give most of the Wikipedia summary of this show. I really liked it, which, as in this case, usually means early cancellation. It ran for about a half season (13 episodes) in 1986. The story begins in Houston, Texas in 1899, as Sheriff Jonathan Grail tried to round up the villainous four-man Pike Gang, of which he had once been a member. After cornering the gang in a stormy Native American graveyard, a bolt of lightning struck all five men - transporting them 87 years forward in time to 1986. With no way to get back to their original time, the five men agreed to a truce, and started a private investigation/detective agency to pay their bills. The five men, now working as the "Double Eagle Detection Agency*," helped right wrongs, protected the downtrodden, and fought off drug lords and gang leaders, all while continuing to operate with 19th-century weaponry, including revolvers and shotguns. Several of the episodes dealt with problems the men faced in the 1880s that had to be resolved in the 1980s. No one knew their real identities, and most people assumed that their old-style clothing and weapons were an affectation. During their first case they met Lt. Maggie Randall, a Houston detective, who became romantically involved with Grail and often helped them in their cases. The series featured crime drama and shootouts, although the heroes never killed anyone, thanks to their superior marksmanship. The show also featured humorous moments. The humor derived primarily from the criminals' unfamiliarity with 20th-century technology, as well as the contrast between their 19th-century mores and those of the 20th century. Most episodes featured flashbacks, which were done in a sepia tone. George *Because they came from the past with one hundred double-eagle gold coins. They went to a bank, expecting to get $2000, but got a lot more, as each $20 double eagle contained an ounce of gold
  19. Either I've gotten very insightful, or very lucky, lately (here, Name That Actor, Three Actors or Three Movies ). I swear I haven't been googling. George
