  1. These are all cable series which went at least three seasons and ran post 2000. Name as many as you can, but one is enough to win. 1. Four criminals are re-directed by ex-insurance investigator Nathan Ford to use their skills ("hitter," "hacker," "grifter," "thief") to obtain justice for people who have been cheated. 2. Federal marshals Mary Shannon and Marshall Mann monitor people in witness relocation in Albuquerque. 3. Ex-spy Michael Westen teams up with old buddy (Sam Axe) and girlfriend (Fiona Glenanne) to right wrongs in Miami. Eventually gets his brother and mother killed. 4. Secret Service agents Pete Lattimer and Myka Bering hunt down and de-power magical artifacts. George
  2. A successful song-and-dance team become romantically involved with a sister act and team up to save the failing Vermont inn of their former commanding general, often referred to as "the old man." The old man's son schemes to get a Red Ryder Range 200 Shot BB gun. George
  3. The short friends are obviously Muppets "Muppets Most Wanted: Dead or Alive"? George
  4. Were you allowed to go to bed BEFORE midnight? It seems to ne that going to bed at 10:30 or 11:00 still met the requirements and would have allowed a bit more sleep. George
  5. I didn't realize that Springsteen was performing that early. You are correct with the new title. Vince Vance and the Valiants' recurring hit. George
  6. By "Go for it," I meant, "Give the answer," not "Take the next turn." :) George
  7. This song shows up on pop stations this time of year, though it's more of a country song. Lee Ann Rimes did a cover about a decade ago. Mariah Carey had a different song with the same title. Take back the holly and mistletoe Silver bells on strings If I wrote a letter to Santa Claus I would ask for just one thing I don't need sleigh rides in the snow Don't want a Christmas that's blue Take back the tinsel, stockings, and bows [TITLE] I don't need expensive things They don't matter to me All that I want, it can't be found Underneath the Christmas tree You are the angel atop my tree You are my dream come true Santa can't bring me what I need [TITLE] George

  9. The African Queen Humphrey Bogart Casablanca George
  10. "Scott, what was the last thing you and Charlie did, before you went to bed Christmas Eve?" "We shared a bowl of sugar, did some shots of brown liquor, played with my shot guns, field-dressed a cat, looked for women..." "Whoa, Dad! You're flying!" "It's okay, I'm used to it. I lived through the '60s." "What about Santa's reindeer? Have you even seen a reindeer fly?" "Yes." "Well, I haven't." "Have you ever seen a million dollars?" "No." "Just because you can't see something, doesn't mean is doesn't exist." "You know, you look pretty good for your age." "Thanks, but I'm seeing someone in wrapping." "You're fatter this year." "Thank you. You've grown too. Now go back to sleep." "What's wrong?" "I think the milk's a little sour." "It's soy milk." "Huh?" "You said you were lactose intolerant." George
  11. Conveniently, the only Supergirl episode I missed was the one they re-ran last night, so I'm all caught up. Is everybody else caught up? George
  12. No. He did a cover years later. See WW's post. George
  13. The last part must be "Wanted: Dead or Alive." Steve McQueen starred in the TV show with that title. So, Human, go for it! George
  14. I think that the second one is "Ugly Betty." George
  15. Take back the holly and mistletoe Silver bells on string If I wrote a letter to Santa Claus I would ask for just one thing George
  16. "Blinded by the Light" by Manfred Mann? George
  17. When WW calls something a "stealth" triple, that usually means that the middle show may have a single word title, or at least is completely contained in the first (or last) title. George
  18. In Like Flint Lee J Cobb 12 Angry Men George
  19. I don't know when you were "in." When VP taught the Advanced Class, he gave an example of revelation, whereby God would show a big, white heart if the person he was approaching was a Christian, and a black heart if the person wasn't. This, of course, was how God showed HIM, at THAT PARTICULAR TIME -- not to be extrapolated to every believer. I believe that THAT was what Waysider was alluding to. George
  20. I think "The Prisoner" only went one season. At any rate, that's not it. George
  21. Felix Leiter (Bond's CIA contact) FREE POST George
  22. Bolshevik, Your post is somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but it's actually pretty close to the truth. I remember at my last ROA (maybe THE last ROA?), my branch leader (Corps) told me that we wouldn't be witnessing to "nerds" (his word) any more. It's not that we would turn away the less fortunate, we just wouldn't go after them, focusing, rather, on middle- to upper-middle-class folks. If I hadn't thought that TWI was all about $$$ before, I sure did, then. George
