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

Game: Before & After (Movies and TV)

Game: Before & After (Movies and TV)
GeorgeStGeorge replied to Raf's topic in Movies, Music, Books, Art
Ah. "Spider-Man: Homecoming to America"? George -
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

Sorry. Still not getting it. For a hint, is the foreign prince part the first, or second, half? George -
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).

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 -

Hopefully, it will turn at least somewhat eastward. If it passes to your east, it will mitigate SOME of the impact. George

What are some of your all-time-favorite movies?
GeorgeStGeorge replied to T-Bone's topic in Movies, Music, Books, Art
I still remember one of the characters (Seth Rogen's. perhaps) calling him a "man-o-lantern"! George -
There are a lot of heartwarming stories. This one really caught my attention. It was almost like something out of a movie (or comic book). https://www.yahoo.com/news/texans-form-human-chain-rescue-171503730.html George

Thanks, guys. I'm back at work, today. No loss of utilities (except spotty satellite TV), no rain or wind damage, no home flooding. It could have been a LOT worse. My heart goes out to those for whom it WAS. George
