Like Star Trek, this show was saved from cancellation by a fan letter-writing campaign. This extended the life of the show from three years to five. Although the show ran for five seasons, only two actors (and a narrator) appear in more than six episodes. Whenever the show called for the star to sing, he did his own singing. He had rather extensive experience in musical theater before coming to TV. The star has also starred in series where he has been a spaceship commander and a federal agent. The star ad libbed a short line in the opening episode; the line became the last line of every episode. George

Vaguely familiar... George

Correct. George

I know I've seen the car and iron stomach clues before, but I can't remember the movie. George

Peter Sellers? George

Yes. The recent one. Idris Elba was Bloodsport. Sylvester Stallone was (the voice of) the Shark. George

Interesting guess, but House had more than two regulars. George

WW is up, here, too. George

Daneille won't be bothering the US. It doesn't appear that Earl will, either: George

And who could forget Kenneth Mars and "Springtime for Hitler"? George

Fair enough. She's been in a LOT of movies, and you'd probably recognize a few names. But let's go a little easier: Annette O'Toole Cat People Malcolm McDowell George

Correct. George

Silly me. I thought the Monty Python gang was in charge of making the movie. Oh, I think I get it. "The Producers"? George

Like Enterprise, Discovery seems to want to reinvent itself every season. That can be annoying, but the character development is very good. I highly recommend Strange New Worlds. There's only one season, so far, so it won't take long to catch up. George

Nice try, but no. The remake starred Lindsay Lohan, Lindsay Lohan, and Dennis Quaid. (And Natasha Richardson) George

And you are correct. George

Maybe Monty Python, but it's not Life of Brian or Holy Grail. "And Now for Something Completely Different" (?) George

We all remember the original series, the Next Generation, Deep Space 9, and Enterprise. (Maybe not so much the last one. It had, IMHO, a great first year, two silly years, and then another great one, but by that time it was ready for cancellation.) And, of course, there was the cartoon show. Starting with Discovery, Paramount has come up with several new shows. Some are great, some are good, one I'm not so fond of. Just wondering which of these shows YOU've seen, and what you think of them. Here are my brief comments: Discovery: I was annoyed when CBS aired the first episode but then showed the remainder only on its streaming service (CBS All Access -- now Paramount Plus). I got a free trial of the service and started watching Discovery. The characters are interesting, and the plot line has been good. The first season takes place essentially in the immediate pre-Kirk era and is essentially aligned with the original series, although sets are flashier and Klingons look even more non-human than they did in NG and DS9. The main character is a human adopted by Sarek and Amanda, so there's a lot of Vulcan stuff, including Spock. In Season 2, Chris Pike transfers from the Enterprise to Discovery, because, why not? They deal with tine travel and the equivalent of a galactic SkyNet, to defeat which requires Discovery to jump 900 years into the future. (Pike returns to the Enterprise, along with Spock.) The last two seasons have involved the future problems (re-establishing StarFleet, overcoming a blight wihich wiped out almost all of the dilithium in the galaxy0. (Discovery travels by a "spore drive." Apparently, the universe is permeated with, essentially, a giant fungus; and Discovery can travel anywhere along it, without traditional warp.) That was a long, brief comment; but it shows that I enjoy the show enough to stick with it. Picard: This one I gave up on after about five episodes. Apparently, post-TNG Picard did something to screw up the Romulans, and now many of them live as refugees aboard a non-functional Bog cube. I found it rather tedious. I didn't even stick around for the cameos of Data, Seven of Nine, and Geordi. Strange New Worlds: Spin-off with Capt. Pike and the Enterprise. We see old favorites, Number One, Spock, Nurse Chapel, Chief Kyle, and Dr. M'Benga. (No Dr. Boyce, probably for "diversity," M'Benga did appear in two OS episodes. They have done quite a bit with his character.) We also see a young Cadet Ohura, Sam Kirk, and T'Pring. I really like this one. It stays true to the OS. I should mention that on his stint on Discovery, Pike finds out about his future disfigurement. A lot of this show has him trying to deal with that, though it's not overbearing. The first season finale shows him what would happen if he is still captain of the Enterprise when the OS episode "A Balance of Terror" occurs. (We do see Jim Kirk in this episode, but he's still captain of the Farragut.) Lower Decks: A very funny cartoon, apparently taking place just after TNG (a couple of Riker, captain of the Enterprise cameos). The main characters are all junior officers, one of whom is always at odds with her mother, the captain. Lots of sly references to the OS, including a direct reference to "TOS. You know, The Old Scientists. Spock, McCoy..." Another: "Our shuttle is surrounded by giants holding spears? Do I look like James Kirk?" Third season just streaming now. Prodigy: I really don't know much about this one, other than it's a 3-D cartoon aimed at younger audiences. Timeframe post-Voyager, as Vice Admiral Janeway appears in a number of episodes. Cameos from OS, Voyager, and DS9 characters. If you've seen it, give me your take. There is also Short Treks, not so much a series as a fan fiction in film form. I'm only mentioning it for completeness, but I'm willing to entertain comments there, as well. My favorites, in descending order: Strange New Worlds, Lower Decks, Discovery, Picard. (Not enough info to rank Prodigy.) ENGAGE! George George
