It was, indeed! Your go. George

Kiley, Although this might seem the appropriate forum for this question, there are so few of us using this, that it may not be your best bet. You might try posting again in the Open forum. If you have any more info (genre, approximate release year), it would help to include that, as well. George PS I personally do not recognize the song.

Still a free post... George

This is one of those where, not knowing the answer, I don't reply; and WW, seeing no movement on the thread, waits for something to happen. He should be back, soon, so maybe we can finish this one. George

OK, I'LL go again. Ron Shelton was a former minor league baseball player and used his experience as the basis for the story. Kurt Russell, who helped Ron Shelton develop the script, also played minor league baseball in the early-1970s. He was originally considered for the lead role. In their confrontation outside the bar, one player tells the other, "I hear you couldn't hit water if you fell out of a f---ing boat." Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda had said this in 1984, in reference to weak-hitting San Diego Padres infielder Kurt Bevacqua. George

I'm not sure why this thread faded. The Mask Cameron Diaz The Green Hornet George

I'm going to toss in the second thing. None of the series made it past two seasons. Summer is sort of the Flying Dutchman of TV series. If she gets a main role, it's a portent of doom. I was gratified that she was only on Arrow for a few episodes, apparently not enough to work her "charm." Are Summer's appearances and quick cancellations cause-and-effect, or just coincidence? You decide. As Raf said, FREE POST George

They're all sci-fi/fantasy type shows (but I excluded genre as one of the choices). Most were on broadcast networks (three, I think, were on FOX), but Alphas was a cable series. Sadly, WW will be out of pocket for about a week. Unless Raf chimes in, we may have to wait a while. I don't want to give up on this, just yet. A hint: some people consider the two things correlated, though they may simply be coincidental. George

It appears that this Imra Ardeen is a telekinetic, not a telepath. I like the Brainiac 5 version. I have to say, though, that before the battle, I could just see Westley (from "The Princess Bride") saying, "A Coluan? Why didn't you list that among our assets?" Black Lightning looks interesting. Newsfeeds seem to peg his ex-wife, Lynn, as John Stewart's sister, although DC's database only lists one sister, Rose (deceased). There have been plenty of Hal Jordan "Easter eggs" in Arrow. I wonder if a GL Corps show could be in the offing? Sorry if this "spoiled" anything. I'm glad the new episodes are back on! George

Grew? George

Name two things that the following shows have in common (other than their genre): The Cape Firefly Sarah Connor Chronicles Dollhouse Alphas George

Although most of those shows were fairly popular, the only one I saw was "Who's the Boss?". George

No. The first half is a formulaic "Speed"-like flick, the second have a more artsy one. Two escaped convicts, a female railway worker, and a heroin addict trying to clean up his act find themselves trapped on a train with no brakes and nobody driving. Stars Rebecca DeMornay, Jon Voight, Eric Roberts, and Ewan McGregor. George

Again, no idea. Sorry. George

Kitchen Nightmare on Elm Street? George

Sorry. Don't know this one, either. George

I've seen a number of the cooking TV shows, but it's been several years, and they all seem to run together in my mind. George

I haven't seen any "Despicable Me" movies, so I don't know any of the characters' names. George

I loved the "puny god" part, but I think my favorite scene was a moment in the big battle where all of the Avengers briefly form a circle before heading back out to confront their targets. A very comic-book-y scene. George

Well, one might suggest "Mad Men" for (D), although it would be ruled out if ONLY one of the main characters could be an ad executive. I would guess "Necessary Roughness" for (A). The main character was a psychotherapist, which I think counts as a psychiatrist. Both of these were cable network shows. Were we to consider only broadcast networks? George

Congratulations! You stumped me again! George

Yeah. The diner I used to eat at had a whiteboard with items "86"ed for the day. I guess you can refuse to serve something, if you don't have it. :-) George

"Puny god!" George

That must be Michael York's character in the Austin Powers movies, but I can't think of the character's name. George
