"And this just in. Scientists discover that Canadian bacon is ordinary ham." "Shane!" "Yes, sir?" "Drinks on the house." "Yes, sir." "No, wait a second. Drinks are 50% off." "Right." "No, wait a second. Double the price of everything!" "Yes, sir." "That's not fair! They've got rocks! All we've got are these machine guns. Oh, mother of pearl, here comes another one!"

"Breaking Bad"? George

I was surprised that you had heard of "Special Unit 2" and, for that matter, that Raf knew "The Chronicle." Both were short-lived, not on "the big four" networks, and about 15 years ago. George

You probably posted just after WW, while I was responding to him. You are correct. Here is the rundown: Two Secret Service agents (a man and a woman) hunt down supernatural artifacts, neutralize them, and bring them to a large repository. Warehouse 13 (the #1 rated SyFy show, so far) Two Chicago cops ( a man and a woman) track down "links" (folklore monsters which are links between apes and man) and eliminate them. Special Unit 2 Two cousins (a man and a woman) track down cursed antiques and retrieve them before they can cause harm. Friday the 13th Two newspaper reporters (a man and a woman) report on "true" supernatural events. They work for a tabloid, so none of their reporting is believed by the readers. The Chronicle Four people (three men and a woman -- with help from a couple of others) track down supernatural artifacts, neutralize them, and store them in a large repository. The Librarians I probably could have added a crusty old guy to each ensemble: Warehouse 13: Saul Rubinek as Artie, the Warehouse curator Special Unit 2: Richard Gant as Capt. Page Friday the 13th: Chris Wiggins as Jack Marshak The Chronicle: Jon Polito as Donald Stern, the Editor The Librarians: John Larroquette as Jenkins (who is actually Sir Galahad) Raf's up. George

I'm sure that's a Sherlock Holmes film, not because I've seen it, but because, when I was in college, my roommate read the exchange between Holmes and Watson which was the same as between you two. I don't remember which story it was, but I'll guess "The Seven Percent Solution." George

You are correct about #3. The other two shows are on the list, but not where you have them. Hint: if the remaining shows are "The Librarians" and "The Chronicle," can you match them all correctly? George

Anchorman Christina Applegate Bad Moms George

Correct. Phil Silvers created the character for the Phil Silvers Show and continued the character for years. Martin's film, however, was the first movie adaptation. George

Planet of the Apes (1968) Charlton Heston Planet of the Apes (2001) George

I was pretty sure you'd know #3. #1 and #5 were both pretty recent, while #2 and #4 were closer to the turn of the century. George

Dan Aykroyd wasn't in "My Blue Heaven." This 1996 movie is based on a 1955 TV show. (Actually, the TV show began in 1948, but the main character first appeared in a 1955 episode.) The only movie, to date, featuring Steve Martin and Dan Aykroyd. The movie's closing epilogue reads: "The filmmakers gratefully acknowledge the total lack of co-operation from the United States Army". The star of the TV show was very recently used by WW in "Triple Movie Links." George

I took French in college. George

OK. Five similar shows. Get at least TWO to win the round. (I expect that WW and/or Raf will get one easily.) Two Secret Service agents (a man and a woman) hunt down supernatural artifacts, neutralize them, and bring them to a large repository. Two Chicago cops ( a man and a woman) track down "links" (folklore monsters which are links between apes and man) and eliminate them. Two cousins (a man and a woman) track down cursed antiques and retrieve them before they can cause harm. Two newspaper reporters (a man and a woman) report on "true" supernatural events. They work for a tabloid, so none of their reporting is believed by the readers. Four people (three men and a woman -- with help from a couple of others) track down supernatural artifacts, neutralize them, and store them in a large repository. George

Translation (if this helps): "Wait a moment, please." "I'm not in a hurry." "Run little rabbit, run." "With pleasure." George

I've got an idea for this one, but I'll have to do a little research first. If anyone else jumps in first, that's fine. George

Ah. It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World Mickey Rooney National Velvet George

Is there a movie called "The Other Guys"? George

Young Frankenstein Kenneth Mars The Producers (old version) George

Well, no, but since it's been several days, I don't mind googling. The Replacements Keanu Reaves Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure George

"The Expendables"? George

Sledge Hammer is correct. I never saw the comic, but the "destroyed in a fire" touch is interesting, since at the end of the first season of the show (not expecting a second) they burned down the police station. The second season was a five-year flashback. George

Sorry. At age 26, Alan Spencer was the youngest creator of a network television series. A comic book based on the series was produced by Marvel. It was discontinued after two issues. Originally, the opening credits sequence was to have the star firing his gun directly at the camera and shattering it. But ABC's standards and practices department feared that him firing straight at the camera would frighten some viewers and possibly leave the network liable in case a viewer had a heart attack. A compromise was reached. He would fire his gun slightly to the left of the camera but still shattering the screen. Nevertheless, on the night of the series' debut, a person working for a Midwest ABC affiliate was startled by the opening sequence, panicked and threw on the station logo thinking something had gone wrong with their tape machine.
