Yes! Teri "They're real, and they're spectacular" Hatcher. (They're not bad, IMHO, but I wouldn't go "spectacular.") George

When "Teen Titans Go!" first came on, I thought it was insipid. These days, though, I find I enjoy its no-hold-barred parodying of almost every genre. I saw an episode this morning called, "Classic Titans," where Control Freak turns the Titans into 1960's versions (a la "Super-Friends" or "Superman-Aquaman Hour of Adventure"). I don't remember those shows having such awful animation, barely one notch above the old Krantz Marvel cartoons; but the parody was spot-on. There was even someone using his best Ted Knight voice to do the narration, even explaining that he was needed because the action was so uninformative. George

Name that Actor/Actress (or Role)
GeorgeStGeorge replied to Raf's topic in Movies, Music, Books, Art
Actually, no. A much more recent actor (who died last year). George -
He's had bit roles in so many movies, I'm not sure he wasn't in these three! But, no, not who I'm looking for. Soapdish Tango and Cash Tomorrow Never Dies Spy Kids 2 Days in the Valley George

I was going to try "Joanie Loves Chachi," but there wasn't enough trivia to post. I'll leave this as a free post, but I thought I'd include a review of JLC from IMDb: Some show generate spinoffs. Others metastasize. "Happy Days"--itself a spin off from "Love, American Style"--generated everything from "Laverne and Shirley" to "Mork And Mindy" to the rarely-seen "Anson Williams, P.I.". "Joanie Loves Chachi" was the final, genetically damaged offspring of this long, inbred line. The premise--and here I use the word "premise" in the broadest sense--is that our Chachi has left Milwaukee to start a singing career in that hotbed of the music industry, Chicago. Joanie went with him, of course, along with Al (who has opened a new restaurant to escape the long shadow of Pat Morita). Chachi and Joanie have a band with painfully zany characters. Chachi and Joanie sing and dance--usually several times--in each episode. Chachi and Joanie sing the theme song. The only minor technical problem with all this is that Chachi and Joanie can't sing a note. Erin Moran and Scott Baio are as grating and unlikeable here as they were in "Happy Days," only here they're on screen for the entire 22 minutes. How the producers dreamed up a romance between these two is a mystery--they have no chemistry. It's like watching Al and The Fonz kiss. The spin off was clearly intended to breathe new life into the "Happy Days" franchise, but here the "sitcom hijinks" are as tired and threadbare as they were in the original's Richie-less last gasps. Also, the ethnic stereotypes would make any Italian cringe. They boycotted the Sopranos but not this? To be fair, this show is such a relic of early 80s television cheese that it would have to have some retro entertainment value now, especially for those who were young enough to enjoy it the first time. The Fonz and the Cunninghams show up with alarming frequency, and kitsch/camp fans who loved master thespian Baio in "Charles In Charge" will find gold in his "singing teen idol" incarnation, especially since Leif Garrett never made a TV series. The Christmas episode in particular is amusing in retrospect. But viewing it without irony/unintended humor, "Joanie Loves Chachi" is difficult, bordering on painful, to watch. I knew Arthur Fonzarelli. Arthur Fonzarelli was a friend of mine. Chachi Arcola, you are no Arthur Fonzarelli. George

Price and Carradine could have been in any number of horror films, but it's Herb Alpert that's throwing me off. George

Vincent Price was in one of those beach-blanket movies. Is this Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine? George

Probably easy... George -
I've actually never seen it. Though Foster and Hopkins make pretty much a giveaway... George

Silence of the Lambs? George

Ah. Good choice, actually. Once I could hear the music, I recognized it. I don't know that I would have remembered that the Spinners performed it, though. George
