I really enjoyed the Smallville scenes. The location sure LOOKED like the set from "Smallville," and the "Somebody Save Me" song brought a smile. And, of course, the Gotham music was, I think, from the Tim Burton films. I suspect that the main reason Ruby Rose was chosen to play Batwoman is that there is a lot of pressure from the gay community to have gays in homosexual roles. Of course, on the CW network half of the characters are gay or bi. (And I don't know OR CARE if the actors who portray them are.) AMAZO looked more like the version from Justice League Unlimited than from the comic books. I think the idea that he actually has to scan a target for powers before assimilating them makes sense. It's a good thing J'onn wasn't around. If AMAZO had his telepathy (not to mention invisibility, shape-shifting, etc.) he would have been tipped to the heroes' plan to take him down. I have an older TV, and I couldn't make out the names of the Arkham residents. Who were they? I assume that John Diggle is either John Stewart on Earth-90 or their Green Lantern is John Diggle. Cute that Barry Allen-90 asks him about his ring. More later. George

I'm good, so I guess it's up to Raf. Human doesn't seem too interested in this thread. George

Must be. Possibly. You're up! George

Most of the clues were about Steve Martin. He played Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr in "The Man with Two Brains" and was repeatedly shot in the shoulder in "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid." He fdid the lasso tricks, as well. You're up~ George

I think I know what it is, but I have to point out that this is the TV Show Mash-up thread, not the Movie Mash-up thread. As I said, I'm kind of blanking right now. If someone else wants to answer Grace's clue and then post a TV clue, have at it! George

Time to get a bit more obvious. "Shane!" "Yes, sir?" "Drinks on the house." "Yes, sir." "No, wait a second. Drinks are 50% off." "Right." "No, wait a second. Double the price of everything!" "Yes, sir." "That's not fair! They've got rocks! All we've got are these machine guns. Oh, mother of pearl, here comes another one!" "Meanwhile, at an abandoned gold mine, a sinister figure lurks..." "I love to lurk. It's so me." "Do you really think wearing black will make you a bad guy?" "I'm wearing black! You just have on navy blue!" [shows their sleeves to compare] "See?" "HOWARD! Why am I wearing navy blue?" "I just thought it would look better on you..." [referring to the letters 'D.D.' being shot into the wall with bullets] "Do you have any idea what this could possibly mean?" "Doris Day. Just a guess." "Dom Deluise." "Daniel Day-Lewis." "Snoop Doggy Dogg." "Daphne du Maurier." "Oh, shut up." "Doc Duvalier." "David Duchovny?" "Delores Del Rio." "Shut up, you idiots." "This is Canada, Nell. Things are real up here." "General Whiplash, the village is ours." "Torch it, Shane. Burn everything. "Yes, sir.: [salutes] "No. Wait a minute. That's bad publicity. Have the photographers take pictures of the boys straightening up the place." "You got it." [runs off] [to himself] "Learn from history or repeat it." George

I'm blanking right now. (I come up with a show, and use the search bar at the top of the page. Every show I think of, I've already done.) If anyone else wants to go, go ahead. If not, I'll try again later. George

One of the stars learned the lasso tricks he used in the movie while working in a magic shop at Disneyland as a teenager. While singing the opening song, the stars simultaneously hold the high note for fourteen seconds. For the silent film sequence, the stars wore lead-based make-up. When one of the stars cries out, "Farley, Farley, Farley, Hfuhruhurr!", it's a nod to a previous role as Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr. The same star gets shot in this film, in the same place (shoulder) he was repeatedly shot in another of his films. The only film written by Randy Newman. George

By "Crisis," here, I presume you mean "Elseworlds." George

I loved the June Taylor dancers and Frank Fontaine (as "Crazy Guggenheim"). Good work, Grace. Although the clue was well-known to me (and almost, WW), that's the kind of thing to post here. We have had, in the past, "drive-by" posters who would answer clues but never post any of their own. Give me some time. George

I assume that I'm the only one who has seen the crossover, so I'll try not to "spoil" anything of major relevance. First, WATCH THE DARN THING! I thought it was quite well done, though why the Monitor would give the Book of Destiny to such a dweeb is not really explained. Correct sequence: Flash, Arrow, Supergirl. Some references to current Arrowverse events, but nothing that would keep you from watching the crossover before catching up on the other series. Lots of "Easter eggs" in the Smallville and Gotham sequences. Note, no Legends. The "mid-season finale" of LoT was quite entertaining, and also about alternate realities. A cute bit was at the beginning, when Steel asks Gideon if they missed anything while they were off the ship. Gideon: "You missed calls from Barry Allen, Oliver Queen, and Kara Zor-el." Steel: "Sounds like an annual crossover. Pass!" It's already been decided that next year's crossover will be "Crisis on Infinite Earths." Two of the tragedies from that comic series were alluded to in the current crossover. George

It's "The Jackie Gleason Show." I watched it every Saturday Night. George

You are correct, Grace. Which means you're up. Which means we would like YOU to post clues to a new TV show. Note that this particular thread gives a lot of latitude as to what constitutes and acceptable clue. We usually use trivia about the show (which you can find at IMDb or Wikipedia, among other sites); but (as I did), you can use cast members, episode titles, whatever strikes your fancy. I would start with more challenging clues first, and then make them easier if people don't get it initially. George

Well, I wouldn't give the obvious ones, first. This show was, however, popular and long-lived enough that even supporting characters appeared dozens of times. Barbara Bosson Jon Cypher Rene Enriquez Robert Hirschfeld Robert Prosky Bruce Weitz Kiel Martin Trinidad Silva George

One my brother mentions, frequently: "Every now and then, I really like a good [steak, Merlot, massage, whatever]!" Do we infer, then, that you routinely prefer a BAD [steak, Merlot, massage, whatever]? Isn't something you like, by definition, something you consider good? George

Some of the many actors on this show (each appeared in at least 70 episodes): Barbara Bosson Jon Cypher Rene Enriquez Robert Hirschfeld George

Well, that's embarrassing. I don't know if I ever watched the Swamp Thing TV show, but I did watch "Human Target" and "Birds of Prey." I don't think I'd call HT a cross between QL and MI, though. Impersonating someone is quite different from jumping (through time) into his body. And yes, if Oracle were a librarian rather than a teacher, and Black Canary were Dinah Lance, rather than Dinah Redmond, I'd have gotten it right away. New one soon. George

This week's Flash episode was very entertaining. Barry and Nora go back to a few recent timepoints in Flash show history, to gather various items. The re-staging of old episode parts was well done. I had a little trouble keeping track of the Wellses, though. George

Some pet peeves: When people say "literally" when what they mean is anything but literal. "[Pick your favorite politician] is LITERALLY Hitler!" (No, that would be METAPHORICALLY.) When people say "exponentially" when they mean "greatly" or. perhaps, "by an order of magnitude." My savings in the bank are growing exponentially, but the exponent is pretty small. The correct pronunciation of "processes" is PRAH-ses-es (or, if you're British, PRO-ses-es). It is NOT prah-se-SEEZ. George

That was the reasoning behind the 26th Amendment. When I was in college in Boston, the drinking age was 18. I went to graduate school in Illinois, where the drinking age was raised to 21, just after I turned 21. I was very popular with my fraternity, whenever booze was needed for a party. George
