  1. Match the Star Trek series (Original, Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and Enterprise) with their final episodes: Endgame What You Leave Behind These Are the Voyages... Turnabout Intruder All Good Things George (If you do not get all of them correct, I will tell you the number you DID get correct, but not which ones they were. Must get all five to win.)
  2. I can almost hear it, but I can't remember enough. (Isn't that always the way?) George
  3. Randy "The Ram" Robinson Ivan Vanko James Wheeler Michael Bosworth John Gray Harley Davidson Nick Ray Teddy Lewis Robert "Boogie" Sheftell Harry Angel George
  4. So, what were the other three? Or are you saving them for another time? George
  5. A likely guess is Princess Leia. (Don't remember the scene, but she could be dissing Han Solo.) George
  6. Is (A) "Dinner Impossible"? (I don't recognize the name Robert Irvine, but the star of DI was a big British guy.) George
  7. I saw the first episode of Defenders. How many episodes before they actually work together? George
  8. I don't watch food shows, anymore, but I did when I was married. I think I know (A), but I'm more certain that (D) is Throwdown with Bobby Flay. George
  9. An Asgardian and a British secret agent team up to stop Dark Elves and a human impervious to pain from unleashing a weapon called Aether to cripple Europe by destroying a key oil pipeline. George
  10. There is nothing wrong with your television set. Or your answer. You're up! George
  11. You are correct. (It's NOT "In Search of.") Nor is Mrs W correct. The show is often compared to a similar series which aired about the same time. The other series dealt more with paranormal experiences, however; this show was almost all sci-fi. The series was brought back in 1995 on Showtime (and later, the Sci-Fi Channel). The only actors to appear in the original and the revival were Leonard Nimoy, David McCallum, Cliff Robertson, Barbara Rush and Peter Breck. Many scenes and some entire episodes of the series were filmed on location at series creator Joseph Stefano's home called Villa Di Stefano, from which the production company took its name. The original title for this show was "Please Stand By". But, America was facing the Cuban Missile Crisis and the executives thought it might make people fearful of an air raid. An example of a television network deliberately killing a popular series by moving it to an inappropriate slot on their schedule. This series was a big hit, especially among younger viewers. For the second season, ABC moved it from Monday nights to 7:30 Saturday. It was not only an inappropriate timeslot for younger viewers, it served as the lead-in for The Lawrence Welk Show (1955) and was scheduled opposite the highly popular Jackie Gleason: American Scene Magazine (1962) on CBS. The series was pulled halfway into the second season. George
  12. Sorry. Still not getting it. For a hint, is the foreign prince part the first, or second, half? George
  13. Inego Montoya (from "The Princess Bride") "Are you saying that I put an abnormal brain into a seven and a half foot long, fifty-four inch wide GORILLA? Is that what you're telling me?" George
  14. I understand your thinking, but AB lasted WAY longer than two seasons! The series was brought back in 1995 on Showtime (and later, the Sci-Fi Channel).

  15. Glad to have you back, relatively unscathed. George
  16. I DIDN'T look it up, but I also have no idea. George
  17. The first part's pretty obvious. I'm having trouble thinking of a super-hero movie that could come before or after it, though. George
  18. Sorry. James Wheeler Michael Bosworth John Gray Harley Davidson Nick Ray Teddy Lewis Robert "Boogie" Sheftell Harry Angel George
