  1. This one big clue will probably give it away. The show's premise of a recovering alcoholic hit too close to home, as the star was an alcoholic in real-life. She drunkenly fought for creative control, resulting in five producers either quitting or being forced out in the five years the sitcom was on the air. Off-set, she pulled such stunts as stumbling onto David Letterman and claiming Walt Disney's last words were, 'Whatever you do, don't let the Jews get the place." (The sitcom aired on ABC, which had recently been purchased by Disney.) Her supporting cast soon grew tired of her expletive-filled rants and on-set breakdowns. Julie White quit the show, and Jon Paul Steuer reportedly left after he received a firsthand look at the star's new boob job, which she proudly flashed about set. ABC hastily ended the show mid season in 1998. (George's editorial note: it's a shame. The show had real promise; I enjoyed its first two seasons.) George
  2. I'm sure I'll recognize the title when I see it, but I haven't seen the movie, I'm certain. I remember "2012," but that was about the magnetic poles reversing, not an asteroid strike. George
  3. Stripes John Larroquette Blind Date George
  4. Well Boris Karloff is known primarily as Frankenstein's monster, and I could imagine a couple of others in that role, but not all of them. Alan Napier and Michael Caine played Alfred Pennyworth, and a couple of the others might have voiced him in cartoons, but certainly not all of them. I'm still drowning in the sea of names. George
  5. Maybe you can squeeze one of the obvious ones in a hedge of the less obvious. As you say, it's got to be a pretty well-known character for all of these actors to have portrayed it. It's just not coming to me. (Hopefully, I'm not the only one playing...) George
  6. Apparently (from IMDb; I haven't seen any of them), the sequels were played for laughs. The remake a couple of years ago intended to bring back the true horror of not being able to escape from a two-foot doll. You're up. George
  7. It's the few comedic actors that throw me for a loop. Henry VIII? George
  8. Indeed. In fact, from the very first one! George
  9. I know that at least three of them portrayed Dracula (though it's tough to imagine Cleese of Frewer in that role). George
  10. I actually used to watch "B" often. Assuming I get the Ds in the right order, it's Diners, Dives, and Drive-ins George
  11. You're obviously pondering what I'm pondering. You're up! George

Vandeleur Sidney Cochrane Dr. Robert Elliott Sidney Bruhl Dr. Frank Bryant Philip Kimberley Noel Holcroft Reginald Kincaid Lawrence Jamieson Lloyd Fellowes Henry Jekyll John Preston Harry Anders George
  13. This cartoon was popular enough to be moved from Saturday morning to prime time, where it won an Emmy. Then it was moved back to Saturday, with the addition of a new character, and was cancelled after a few episodes. The voice actor for one of the main characters described the character's voice as 65% Orson Welles, 35% Vincent Price. And he should know. He also dubbed Vincent D'Onofrio's role as Welles in "Ed Wood." The other main character's voice was modeled after Frank Spencer, the main protagonist of the BBC sitcom Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em (1973). The main characters were unintentionally created by Bruce Timm, when creating caricatures of Producers Eddie Fitzgerald and Tom Minton. George
  14. Private Benjamin Goldie Hawn Seems Like Old Times George
  15. I seem to recall that Deathstroke basically positioned himself so that Flash could only attack from one direction. Still, highly unreasonable, since Flash can vibrate through matter and, hence, attack from ANY angle In all fairness, it costs a LOT less to produce a comic book than a TV show with all the special effects required for the super-hero genre. I'm also cautious, but optimistically so. George
  16. The original working title for the film was "Batteries Not Included" before it became known Steven Spielberg was also making a film with the same title. It was then changed to "Blood Buddy" before settling on the actual title. The film had two sequels which were more comic than the original. The film was remade recently, again as an horror film. The character "Charles Lee Ray" was named from Charles Manson, Lee Harvey Oswald, and James Earl Ray. George
