Not getting this one, at all. George

Gotham starts tonight. George

Gotham starts up again this week (in the US). WW mentioned "Titans," presumably the DCUniverseOnline (or whatever) streaming Titans show. I heard from my comic shop manager that it is EXTREMELY violent, with a lot of explicit language, as well. Not my cup of tea, to be sure. If WW has seen it, I would be interested in his take. George

Although "Sleigh Ride" is perhaps Leroy Anderson's most famous piece, I really love his "Christmas Festival" (band arrangement, of course): A Christmas Festival George

Two episodes, "The Boys' Night Out Job" and "The Girls' Night Out Job," were shot simultaneously. The show supposedly takes place in Boston, but was shot in Portland. In the final season, the show moves to Portland. In one episode, the main characters go to a "dress-as-your-favorite-detective" party. The leader dresses as a detective whom his (the actor's) father played on a TV show about 35 years earlier. The main characters are a Hitter, a Hacker, a Grifter, a Thief, and the Brains. George

Need more clues, Raf. George

It is still WW's turn. George

Ralph Macchio The Outsiders Rob Lowe George

OK. Time to move this on. I'm assuming Grace's movie clue was for "Gone with the Wind." I used this show a couple of years ago, but as part of a "guess how many of these shows you can name" set. Here are some individual clues: Two episodes, "The Boys' Night Out Job" and "The Girls' Night Out Job," were shot simultaneously. The show supposedly takes place in Boston, but was shot in Portland. In the final season, the show moves to Portland. In one episode, the main characters go to a "dress-as-your-favorite-detective" party. The leader dresses as a detective whom his (the actor's) father played on a TV show about 35 years earlier. George

Riddle me this: Barry gets back at Oliver for shooting him in the back by doing exactly the same thing. When Oliver did it to Barry, it was to teach him "situational awareness." Oliver even asks where the arrow launchers are. So, why didn't he scan the area at super-speed and FIND them? George

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

Spider-Man Homecoming Marisa Tomei My Cousin Vinnie 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
