  1. Nope. More than three decades earlier. "My department knows I'm here. When I don't report they'll retaliate." "If you're the best they've got, they're more likely to try and cover up your embarrassing incompetence." "Don't count on it." "Ha ha, you amuse me." "It's not mutual." 1: "What have they done?" 2: "You discharged her, so she and her accomplice came here to kill you. Then they set fire to the office, to conceal the crime but they were trapped in the elevator and perished in the flames." 1: "But that means I would have to be..." 2: "Dead!" [shoots him] 2: "That's rather neat, Don't you think?" 3: "Brilliant. I'm almost speechless with admiration." 2: "Intuitive improvisation is the secret of genius." 3: "Herr Doktor Mortner would be proud of his creation." "You slept well?" "A little restless, but I got off eventually." "Hello. I thought you might like to join the party. By the way, the name is James St. John Smythe. I'm English." "I never would have guessed." "Well my dear, I take it you spend quite a lot of time in the saddle." "Yes, I love an early morning ride." "Well, I'm an early riser myself." "Another wealthy owner?" "Who knows? But she certainly bares closer inspection." "We're on a mission." "Sir Godfrey, on a mission, I am expected to sacrifice myself!" "What is this thing loaded with?" "Rock salt." "Now you tell me!" George

  3. Martin Sheen Greg Kinnear James Franciscus Patrick Dempsey Stephen Collins Bruce Greenwood George
  4. I think Dormer played MORIARTY on Elementary. George
  5. Well, it was clearly before 2001, so I suppose it COULD have been 2000 or early 2001, but it would be odd to write a sequel that fast. With the money numbers mentioned, pre-1990 seemed unlikely. So, I inferred from what you had written that it was the 90s. It was a reasonable guess. George
  6. Just from the time frame (1990s) and a lead that could have been played by Travolta or a comedian, I'll guess Forrest Gump (?) George
  7. Zardoz Charlotte Rampling The Verdict George

  9. Sorry my friend. You can't go from Tomorrow Never Dies to Michelle Yeoh to Tomorrow Never Dies. Try again. (Crazy Rich Asians would work, if you can transition out of it.) George
  10. If "one of the most popular movies ever" made "about $40 million," it must have been some time ago. "Gone with the Wind"? George
  11. I figured that you would probably get the only Marvel role. I didn't get to use Roy Hobbs, or Jeremiah Johnson, or Henry Brubaker, or Waldo Pepper, or Jay Gatsby, or the Sundance Kid. Oh, well. George
  12. I did see it, but I can't remember anything about it except that Lori Petty was in it. George
  13. Since it's 2033, instead of "Tank" I'll go with "Tank Girl." George
  14. This would be Raf's turn, if he wants it... George
  15. Let this one slip a while. Paul Bratter Halsy Knox Bill McKay Johnny Hooker Major Cook Sonny Steele Henry Brubaker Tom Booker Warren Justice Alexander Pierce Nathan Muir Jack Weil George (After this, the easy ones)
  16. Correct on all counts. Frank Sutton (Sgt. Carter) was a decorated WWII veteran. Jim Nabors and Ronnie Schell were a bit too young to serve in WWII. After a couple of years, some viewers opined that Gomer and crew should have been shipped off to Vietnam. Raf's up! George
  17. "Perhaps you should save this further education George for another thread." I'm not sure what this means. It was not a political statement. Your earlier reply indicated to me that when I said "America was in a war at the time of this show" you inferred that it was WWII. It was not. The highlighted section below should help. One of the stars of this series could not pass the US Marine Corps physical during World War II, and ended up serving in the U.S. Army. During his service he distinguished himself by taking part in 14 assault landings, including Leyte, Luzon, Bataan and Corregidor. The battles mentioned in this clue were all major WWII battles (Pacific theater). Even George Peppard wasn't old enough to have fought in WWII. The actor mentioned in the first clue was born in 1923. The other stars were born in 1930 and 1931. As America was engaged in a war IN VIETNAM at the time of this show (that is, when the show aired), many viewers wrote to ask why the characters remained stateside. The producers of the show (quite reasonably, IMHO) did not feel that the horrors of war were appropriate for this show. The same star, in his role, had the following decorations: Bronze Star (2), Purple Heart, Navy Presidential Unit Citation (2), Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal (3), World War Two Victory Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Korean Service Medal (4 Campaigns), U.N. Service Medal, and a Korean Presidential Unit Citation. In addition, he wears Expert Rifleman and Expert Pistol marksmanship badges. The main star of the show's character was spun off from a very popular show at the time. The show was not really a sequel to the show it spun off from. The main star of the featured show was an occasional character on the first. The star of the first show did make an appearance or two on the spinoff. When the main star decided to quit the show and have a variety show, the producers thought they could re-brand the show without him. (Coincidentally, this is almost exactly what happened with the show this one was spun off from.) When the other two stars opted to join the variety show, the producers gave up on the idea. I've tried attaching the opening theme to the show, here, but it doesn't seem to be working.TV openng theme.wav (I've got the file on my desktop, if someone can tell me how to get it to insert as a workable file, not just a dead link.) George
  18. I'm glad we got that straightened out. Raf is still up. George
  19. Pierce Brosnan Tomorrow Never Dies Michelle Yeoh George
  20. Spoiler: Chyler Leigh looks REALLY good with long black hair. George
  21. The TV show was not in the 1940's. America has been in several wars since WWII. The show aired when a WWII vet would still be at a reasonable age to star in a TV show. George
  22. I do not subscribe to any streaming service. I had considered getting DC's service, but after I was told that the shows were extremely violent and full of profanity, I took a pass. Supposedly, HBO is starting a streaming service which will carry a Green Lantern show. I MIGHT get that one. George
