  1. I guessed as much. Not helpful, yet, though. George
  2. There can't be a lot of guys who've played David Copperfield and Allen Ginsburg, not to mention all the others; but I'm not getting it yet.
  3. Having not actually SEEN a Dragon Ball (or subsequent spin-off) episode, I didn't realize that Goku had a tail, or was based on Superboy. At any rate, you have guessed correctly. FYI, Stephanie voiced the young versions of Goku and Gohan. George
  4. I have no idea what you're talking about, but that's pretty funny! George
  5. In the "Revival and Restoration" thread, WordWolf posted: If one is determined to only find the negative at the GSC, that's what one will find. It's not honest and lacks integrity, but this should come as no shock by now. It's really cute the way these splinters like to refer to the GSC and explain why they're not going to explain. Lots more people got deliverance here and got on with their lives than they've actually HELPED. Perhaps it's "deliverance envy". How many groups suffer, in fact, from "deliverance envy"? George
  6. What a delightful phrase to coin! I'm going to see if "Greasespot Gems" is still a thread. George
  7. Not even close. A the LA debuted in 2003, not 1986. (Admittedly, the Avatar movie WAS critically panned, but it did OK at the box office.) This cartoon first aired in 1986 and spawned three sequels. It was an anime cartoon, based on a series Manga comic books. The title refers to a group of magical artifacts, which, when collected, grant one wish to the holder. Additionally, many short theatrical cartoons based on it aired overseas. A live-action film aired in the US in 2009, with the intention of spawning sequels. Those plans were immediately quashed when the fans of the TV show expressed outrage at the departure from the show's history, and the film tanked at the box office. A personal note: one of my friends, Stephanie Nadolny, voiced two (male) characters for the series and its first sequel. George
  8. That may have been part of it. Wikipedia is rather vague on this detail. George

  10. I do remember that title. I think that I had even planned to watch it, but it was syndicated on a network not provided by my cable company. I had a hunch that the last one involved Highlander, especially because of your Movie Mash-up, but I'm just not that up on all the Highlander lore. New one, soon. George
  11. Having answered one correctly, I have officially taken the round. As much as I'd like to be able to guess the other shows, I don't think I'm going to be able to. (And Human and Raf are MIA.) (B) might be the name of some card in the Major Arcana, although there is no TV show "The Fool," and I'm not going to go through the other 21 cards. (C) clearly involves Musketeers. For some reason, I saw your note about "job title" and was thinking "show title." They were obviously swordsmen, but the only TV show with that name was Chinese. (D) I haven't ignored the quotes; they just don't mean anything to me. "Eternal Thief"? Plus all of the references to spin-offs. I have no idea. George
  12. Some stars of the movie: Michael Madsen, Brad Pitt, Harvey Keitel, Christopher McDonald A "buddy" flick. Ridley Scott was reportedly so amazed with Hans Zimmer's score, that he created a main title sequence (with Zimmer's music over it), rather than giving the main credits at the end, as it was primarily planned. George
  13. OK. (B) has no Zorros. There WAS a show called "Zorro and Son," which could be (A). I know of a number of women with whom Clinton had affairs, but I don't remember who was an actress. Still no closer on (C). I tried googling "Riflemen" without success. George
  14. Not really. Although you say that "Musketeers" doesn't appear in any of the titles, it still seems as though (C) could be about the group, as they were in France; and the title has something to do with guns, although they used different weapons (perhaps bow and arrow, though swords seem more likely). As far as I know, only men could be Musketeers, so Karen Cliche's character would have to wear a disguise (a pity, as she's a gorgeous woman). (A) could be something like the son of the Cisco Kid, since it's not about Zorro. (D) might have something to do with (as the show, itself, or one of the spinoffs) "Forever Knight," the vampire cop, but I don't know who the lead actress was (if there even was one), much less any rumors about presidential mischief. George
  15. That's what happens with Ralph Dibny in the mix. (Of course, Gypsy's dad was a hoot, too.) George
  16. I have no idea. As you point out, all of the shows were short-lived, meaning that (A) it's unlikely I saw any of them and (B) they were not famous enough for me to have heard of them. I appreciate the level of detail you've included in the clues, but I'm still not getting any of them. George
  17. I'm thinking Musketeers for C, but the only TV show with that title is British and ran for three years. George
  18. Correct (except spelling -- last name Combs) Weyoun (or more correctly, Weyouns, as they were all clones, and Combs played a few of them) was a Vorta on DS9 Brunt was a Ferengi on DS9 Penk was of an unnamed species on Voyager Shran was an Andorian on Enterprise Kevin Burkhoff was his character on The 4400. Combs also voiced Vic Sage (the Question) in Justice League Unlimited. According to Memory Alpha, Combs is the only actor to portray eight different characters on Star Trek. (There are four others who have portrayed seven.) He has also appeared on the Flash, Babylon 5, the Twiglight Zone, and a lot of non-sci-fi TV and movies. George
  19. Kathleen Turner Body Heat Richard Crenna George
  20. Brunt Kevin Burkhoff Weyoun Vic Sage Penk (Commander) Shran George
  21. This actor probably isn't that well-known to the general public, but would be to fans of a certain genre (as we are): Brunt Weyoun Penk (Commander) Shran George
  22. I eat in front of the TV. Sadly, I occasionally fall asleep in front of the TV. Just enough nodding off that I have to rewind the episode to see what I missed. George PS Krypton season finale was an interesting cliffhanger. The revisionist Zod, however, gives me all sorts of heartburn. (I've got no problem with a female Jax-Ur, though!)
  23. And, remarkably, most of his roles have TWO names! Not just "Bill" or "Scooter." New one shortly. George
  24. I kind of thought that the TMGMM was a cute way of tying up the whole season, since just about every OTHER character from the season made it in. FYI, the real reason they got rid of Prof. Stein was that Victor Garber went back to Broadway. Flash ending was good, if a little too tidy. "Let's wrap up a season of problems with an almost invincible baddie in 30 minutes." Kind of the same with Arrow, though it never made sense to me in the first place how a basic thug could acquire so much power, to begin with. Agents of SHIELD had a good ending. Well, excluding the death of a main character.
