  1. In a semi-spinoff, the main character of this show first appeared on an episode of Charlie's Angels, as a friend of Charlie and Bosley. Although the main character's girlfriends are all supposedly older than he, the actor portraying him was actually older than the women. In fact, his boyish good looks almost lost him the part, as the producers thought he wouldn't be taken for 25 (he was 31). In the pilot episode, Greg Morris' Lieutenant Nelson was named "George". When he returned for the series, he was named "David or Dave". George
  2. The first full-length film (as opposed to serials) based on a sci-fi comic book. The movie was re-released in 1977, after the success of the first Star Wars installment. Featured Marcel Marceau in a very talkative role. George
  3. Carol Kane The Princess Bride Mandy Patinkin George
  4. "The Adventures of Superman" In black-and-white, there was no need to have Superman's actual red, blue, and yellow costume. When they started filming in color, obviously they re-did the costume. Phyllis Coates and Noel Neill are well-known Lois Lanes. And Superman did appear on an episode of "I Love Lucy." George
  5. So, Arrow. At first I thought the season premiere was some sort of dream episode. Mild spoiler alert: what is actually the case is made clear about 1/4 through the episode. I was going to write my reactions, but I think I'll wait until whoever of you actually plans to watch the episode, in the near future, does so. So, GET TO IT! George
  6. Then perhaps the lyrics are reminding me of some other song. George
  7. I actually saw (D) (or, most of it) on cable recently, but I can't think of the title. George
  8. I think I might have seen "Sale of the Century" and MAYBE the "$1.98 Beauty Pageant." "Treasure Hunt" does not ring a bell. George
  9. It does seem vaguely familiar. Sort of rappish, I think, rather than melodic. George
  10. I was tempted to try DCUNIVERSEONLINE when Teen Titans started, but all I heard from those who watched it was that it was violent and profane. The reviews of the new Harley Quinn show sound exactly the same. Ergo, I have not watched ANY of the shows on that service. George
  11. I'm not sure of the movie characters, but we seem to have made Human disappear... George
  12. I'll take Obscure Game Shows for 1000, Alex. George
  13. Car 54 Where Are You? David Johansen Scrooged George
  14. The question mark means I'm not sure... George
  15. The sad thing is, I've probably seen a couple of these (not the British ones). Tickling the back of my memory... George
  16. "Young Girl," by Gary Puckett and the Union Gap? George
  17. I presume that this is an actual plotted movie, not a compilation like "That's Entertainment, Part II." George
  18. I do remember the title. I don't think I saw the movie. That's why we keep Raf around. George
  19. Not super-hero, but comic book, anyway. How do you handle the death of an actor in a series? If it's one of the main stars, maybe you find another actor to play the part. If it's a continuing role, but not absolutely necessary, you can have the character "leave town" or "die." I'm sure that the death of Luke Perry caught the Riverdale folks by surprise, but I think they did a great job with the tribute to "Fred Andrews." I suspect that a lot of the tears were real, as the cast was quite fond of Perry. George
  20. Batwoman: two stars (out of five). Good filmography, moderately interesting supporting cast. Interesting that Batwoman's fighting style seems to be mostly brawling, rather than some of the more picturesque fighting on, say, Arrow. I wonder if that's intentional. I could stand a LITTLE less lesbianism. Maybe they've made their point in the first episode and will tone it down in the future. We'll see. Flash: 4.5 stars. I love the show. It's interesting that the Monitor states unequivocally when the "Crisis" will occur. (It just happens to be the date of the crossover on TV.) New villains introduced: we'll have to see if they wind up in the Crisis or are just plot devices in the meantime. Black Lightning: three stars. I like the characters. I just can never seem to figure out where the story arc is headed. Supergirl: 4 stars. I don't like the changes at Catco, but the other plot elements are solid. Supergirl's new hairdo: Good. New costume: not so much. My favorite line from the first episode: "How do you all change so FAST?" George
  21. I suspect that I'll recognize the title when I see it, but nothing about this movie seems familiar. Incidentally, although both my eyes work fine, for reasons I won't go into here, I only use one at a time. So 3-D effects are lost on me (as are those "Magic Eye" hidden pictures which were popular a couple of decades ago). George
  22. No idea yet, unless (D) is The Newlywed Game. George
  23. And the real space shuttle was named after the fake ship Enterprise. You're up! George
