  1. Even more trivial, this song is often featured on one of my favorite TV shows (currently in its 15th season), as a pseudo-theme-song. George
  2. Checking IMDb, I do not see RW anywhere in the cast of A.I. HJO WAS in it though. So let's go with Haley Joel Osment A.I. Jude Law George
  3. At least for now, I'd like someone to match a show with its title. (To be fair, I could only do this for one of the shows. I could give other titles which I know are in there, but not specifically matched to the clues.) If no one can do that, I'll open it up to more general answers. George
  4. I don't remember any skits, etc., though there could have been some. These shows were about the music (like American Bandstand). George
  5. Once I rose above the noise and confusion Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man Though my mind could think I still was a mad man George
  6. A la WordWolf, only this time the category is rock and roll shows. None of these shows had the longevity of American Bandstand, but most had pretty good audiences. Identify one, correctly, to take the round. (I personally remember watching three of these shows.) Hosted by LA local Gene Weeds, this show was frequented more by girl groups than the other shows. Also notable was a young (obviously) Teri Garr as one of the dancers. This Dick Clark show was different in that the locations were all outside: beaches, parks, etc. It featured a lot of the heavy hitters of the day: The Byrds, The Who, The Shangri-Las, James Brown, Bobby Rydell, The Zombies, Dusty Springfield, Marvin Gaye, the Kinks. The "house band" was Paul Revere and the Raiders. NBC's entry into the field had a bigger budget. That meant nifty prop sets (like, say, The Mamas and the Papas singing amidst a bunch of bathtubs and pipes) and a rotation of celebrity guests to handling the hosting, acts like Sammy Davis, Jr. and Petula Clark. The show was filmed at 30 Rock studio 8H -- later home to Saturday Night Live. This ABC show had later luminaries Glen Campbell, Billy Preston, and Leon Russell in the house band. There were a number of Beatles appearances and the only televised version of Little Eva performing "Locomotion." George
  7. Queen "Bohemian Rhapsody" (That was worth two.) George
  8. Joan Cusack Working Girl Melanie Griffith George
  9. Haven't watched any HP movies, but I think that in this one was Alan Rickman Die Hard Bonnie Bedelia George
  10. No. When I was married, we watched a few shows (Beat BF, Dinner impossible, Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives and a couple of others.) Not really my thing, though I did just see an episode of DD&D. Feel free to enlighten us. George
  11. Stripes John Larroquette Star Trek 3: The Search for Spock George
  12. This film was originally shot as a short entitled 'The Sitter.' However after the huge success of "Halloween", the screenwriter saw the potential of expanding the short into a full-length feature. The opening 12 minutes of "Scream" (and parts of "Scream" parodied in "Scary Movie") was an homage to the first 20 minutes of this film. George
  13. I think I've actually seen (C): "Beat Bobby Flay"? George
  14. Fair enough. Simple. Good family values. If you need a lot of action or suspense, probably not for you. George
  15. So how would he know what the insignia was, on his uniform? George
  16. Interesting. I know Clancy from a lot of TV shows, but I can't think of a movie featuring him. George
  17. Ah. Another popular show which I never watched. George
  18. I'm guessing she went blind, but the show still isn't clicking with me. George
  19. Shanghai Surprise Sean Penn The Game George
  20. I remember the story (I think it was an issue of "Tales of the Green Lantern Corps") where Katma Tui is sent to recruit a new member whose planet is in total darkness. Without light, the species had no concept of "light" "lantern" or "green" (or, for that matter, "black" or "night"). She had to give him the power ring in terms he could understand, which were auditory. New one soon. George
  21. Billy Bob Thornton Monster's Ball Peter Boyle George
  22. "Green Lantern" (with F-sharp bell)? George
  23. Wild guess: Dynasty? (Based mostly on the villainous female.) George
