  1. Four shows with a basic theme. Guess one to win the round. A reformed second-story man acts as a bodyguard, meeting his clients at his neighbor's café. Aired 1966-1967. The world's greatest cat burglar, caught, steals stuff for the government in return for a pardon. Aired 1968-1970. A pardoned convict becomes a private detective. Aired 1974-1980. A brilliant forger, caught, works with the FBI in exchange for a pardon. Aired 2009-2014. George
  2. Correct. It's "Marla Hooch" belting out "It Had to Be You" at a road house. About the time the movie came out, I was playing in a small jazz band, and one of our songs was "It Had to Be You." I would always crack up, thinking about this scene. George
  3. I really didn't think I had THAT one! Try this: George
  4. I was going to guess a Harry Potter film, but these kids seem too poor. Oliver! (?) George
  5. I agree with the sentiment, but I have no idea what movie it's from. George
  6. Can you even FIND Windows XP to download, anymore? That's SO 20th Century! George
  7. Kind of. I don't think we'll see Bebo, though. George
  8. And use your photo editor to crop out titles, the rest of your viewscreen, etc. An alternative, if this software is loaded on your device is to use Snipping Tool. You can copy only the part of the image you want. Then go to Edit, Copy. Then paste the picture here. Many roads lead to Chicago... George
  9. Daniel Craig Casino Royale Eva Green George
  10. The shows span about five decades. George
  11. I didn't say I was quitting... And, yeah, it's a lot easier to find a still than to capture from a video. George
  12. I think Stargirl is going to be better than I first thought. Let's just say that she won't be going it alone. George

  14. It's okay, but it's not my favorite game. Probably because any scene I'd recognize would be an easy one. I always liked the Pictionary threads, but they died a slow death. Go ahead and post, if you wish. George
  15. It's the last season. Colson is now an android with his memories downloaded into it. The team is traveling through time, trying to stop the Chronicons (sp?). Sort of an "Agent Carter" crossover this last episode. George
  16. So, is anyone else watching Stargirl, yet? Also, SHIELD is actually quite entertaining this season! George
  17. I've never actually seen "Casablanca," but I'm pretty sure that Sam is getting ready to "Play it." (IIRC, the phrase, "Play it again, Sam" never actually occurs in the movie.) George
  18. EVERYTHING is easier to fix during Crisis. George
  19. Dynasty? John Forsythe was "in" every episode of "Charlie's Angels," but was never seen. (He was, of course, seen in "Bachelor Father." Linda Evans joked that she played a friend of Kelly (Forsythe's niece on the show) with a big crush on him, and then wound up "wed to him" on Dynasty 20 years later.) George
  20. Due to a login hitch, it took me quite a while, but I can finally get into HBO Max. I'm watching the Teen Titans cartoon "The Judas Contract." George
  21. Well, Hartley Sawyer has been fired from The Flash for (as every outlet refers to them) "racist, misogynist tweets" from several years ago. So, do they "Dick York/Dick Sargent" Ralph Dibny (you know, he kind of looks like Darrin Stevens!)? Do they just eliminate the character? Do they get Mehcahd Brooks to come over and be Jimmy Olsen/Elastic Lad? Maybe bring in a Plastic Man? FWIW, when thinking about casting a Justice League movie years ago, my Plastic Man would have been Jim Carrey. Of course, his salary would be more than the budget for the whole show (Flash, that is). George
  22. In the US, "lummox" would call to mind clumsiness or stupidity, whereas "lug" would be an affectionate term. George
  23. Dallas? Larry Hagman was on it, as well as I Dream of Jeannie, though he didn't look THAT different. George
  24. Incidentally, in American slang, a "lug" is a large but gentle man: "Come here, you big lug!" Apparently, it's also an acronym for "lesbian until graduation." Without dragging this thread too far afield ( I hope), I just find it interesting that the Urban Dictionary mentions this term specifically in reference to Mount Holyoke College, and also to Smith and Wellesley Colleges, all in the Boston area. When I was at MIT in the early 70s, none of those schools were known as bastions of lesbianism. In fact, it was the understanding that Smith and Holyoke women were in college to get the "Mrs" degree. (A lot of them showed up at parties at my fraternity, and were quite obviously heterosexual.) Wellesley women were more serious about their studies. It was to MIT what Radcliffe was to Harvard.
