"Rosemary's Baby" didn't come out until 1968. This should have been the biggest clue: Two of the stars married each other. Twice. (Each had a few other spouses, as well.) George

Am I right? George

In her A&E Biography special, the lead actress remarked that her performance as Martha was her personal best. 18th July 1966: Police seized this film, and arrested the manager of a local Nashville cinema, for contravening a municipal order that banned films, as this, for contents of an obscene nature. Two of the stars married each other. Twice. The first movie to be given the MPAA tag: "No one under 18 will be admitted unless accompanied by his parent." While the lead actor and actress were forces to be reckoned with while they were working, it was a challenge to actually get them in front of the camera every day. They both had it in their contracts that they didn't have to be on the set until 10:00 A.M., even though most other productions began at dawn. After they arrived on set, it would take two hours of makeup, hair and wardrobe to get them ready for shooting, and by the time they were camera ready, it was lunch time. They would often go off for lengthy cocktail-filled lunches, often with friends, and then return late in the afternoon to finally begin shooting. "When they finally came back late," recalled Sam O'Steen, "they'd just ignore it all, be real nice. 'Hey, Mike, old buddy, sorry we're late. Okay, let's shoot!'...Sometimes they wouldn't come back 'til five o'clock and they had in their contract that they couldn't work past six o'clock." This movie became the first motion picture, since Cimarron (1931), to be nominated for every Academy Award category in which it was eligible, including Best Adapted Screenplay, Director, all the acting categories, and Picture of the Year. The Supporting Actress, who was pregnant at the time of filming, suffered a miscarriage on the set. The MPAA insisted on the removal of the term "screw you" from the film where it was replaced with the term "God damn you" but allowed the terms "screw" and "hump the hostess" to remain in the film.

If I'm not mistaken, WW is up. I already "stole" "Name that Flick," so I'll wait on this one. George

Oh, and Ray Palmer saying that Supergirl looked like his cousin was cute, too. Ready for the winter season to begin. CW is shuffling its lineup. Not super-heroic, but definitely comic-related, will be "Riverdale." When I started reading comics, along with DCs, I read Archie and Dennis the Menace. Dropped the "funny" books when the prices went up. George

Might as well jump in again. "What is this place?" "Looks like a diner." "That's clever. You know, you almost had me going there for a while. I was a bit groggy before, then I started noticing things. Like, you got a stockbroker over here, all dressed up reading the Financial Times on a Sunday morning when the market's closed. Unlikely, but okay, I can go with that. I can even go with the stick-up man packing a cop-issue Beretta. But you want to know where you blew it? [points at waitress] With her. My aunt was in the restaurant business all her life. There's no way in hell a career waitress comes to work in high heels. She'd have blisters the size of pancakes before lunch. And if she ain't real, then this whole thing ain't real. That's how I knew this bozo over here wouldn't get a shot off even if we waited till St. Patrick's Day. Because there's nothing but blanks in these guns. Oh, and no offense, but their performances were terrible." George

"George Bailey" (Jimmy Stewart) in "It's a Wonderful Life." "You've got me? Who's got YOU?" George

A and B are the Green Hornet and the Lone Ranger, respectively. I'm guessing that C is Batman. George

Vaughn was working on his PhD and refused water stunts; McCallum had a problem with heights. There was a cute homage to TMFU in one episode of "The A-Team." As you may recall, the last season of that show had the team working FOR the government, under the watchful eye of "General Hunt Stockwell," played by Vaughn. One episode, "The Say U.N.C.L.E. Affair," had McCallum playing a Russian ex-CIA agent, who was an old associate of Stockwell's. Each Act (segment) had a title, just as in TMFU. George

No question about it. :-) (I miss the old emoticons.) George

"8 or 9 years ago" is definitely NOT my area of expertise. George

This was an action show, not a variety show. The stunts were usually done by the two stars as well as by stuntmen, and the best version was used. One, however, wasn't too keen on heights and the other wasn't too keen on water - so they tried to avoid those stunts. Except for "Alexander the Greater Affair," episodes were always titled "The (insert episode title) Affair", while each act also carried its own title, usually taken from a line of dialog. This series was a veritable hotbed for up and coming, fresh-faced TV stars just starting their acting careers. The most notable ones worth looking for are: Jack Lord, Ricardo Montalban, Sonny and Cher, William Shatner AND Lenoard Nimoy (in the same episode), James Doohan, Werner Klemperer, June Lockhart and Robert Culp. Within a few years of their guest appearances on this show., they would go on to star in their own iconic TV shows from this era. One of the stars worked on his Ph.D. during the course of the series, and often was allowed to leave the set early so that he could attend night classes. The show's third season saw a change of style that resulted in the amount of comedy being increased in response to the "camp" craze made popular by Batman (1966) and Get Smart (1965). As a result, the show's ratings plummeted and the series never recovered. Despite a return to serious stories the next year, it was cancelled midway through its fourth season. George

No, but approximately the right time period. Two of the stars married each other. Twice. The first movie to be given the MPAA tag: "No one under 18 will be admitted unless accompanied by his parent."

Not the finest movie of the year, but I thought they did a good job with the various characters. Incidentally, Raf is up. George

Correct (from "My Fair Lady") George

Right! George

That would be "Gordon Gekko" (sp?) (Michael Douglas) Is it OK to give the actor, if you can't remember the character's name? "The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain." (I guess either of two characters would do here, since one repeats the line after the other.) George

It does, or a singular becomes a plural... George

Kidnapping is the theme of this movie. An ex-mob boss is kidnapped by a group of four kids in a haphazard attempt at paying the ransom for another, separate kidnapping. Meanwhile, a talk show host is kidnapped by a desperate fan, trying to get a stand-up spot on the show. (Note: the overlap isn't quite perfect.) George

Correct. Many of the songs are early on, as sort of "theme music" for each of the villains. George

I'm thinking "WKRP in Cincinnati," eye-candy receptionist being the main clue. I do seem to remember a sequel, as well. I thought it did fine in its original run, but maybe it did better in syndication. I'm guessing it couldn't be rebroadcast because there actually IS a WKRP, now? George
