  1. I'm having trouble following "Legion." It's like Charles Xavier's son becomes The Prisoner. The fact that I nod off and miss potentially useful exposition doesn't help, I suppose. I'm a bit disappointed with "Powerless," as well. I love all the DC "Easter eggs," but the characters and plots are rather boring. This show has a lot of potential, but it better start realizing it, soon, or it won't be around to do so, later. George
  2. An aspiring actress gets a house-sitting job, which winds up as a cat-and mouse game with a deadly ex-con. She escapes, only to have her car break down in the desert, at an old nuclear testing site. She then gets harassed by locals. George
  3. Seems familiar, but I think we need more clues, WW! George
  4. After a month and a half, I suppose it's fair to jump in. Ernest Borgnine Stella Stevens Red Buttons Roddy McDowall George
  5. They made the Adult Contemporary lists. George
  6. All right. I'm going to give it to Raf, because he clearly knows that it's the theme music from the shows which is important. Specifically, all of the theme songs hit the top 10 in the pop charts. In my list, above, the first four went to #1, and then down in order until Hill Street Blues, which peaked at #10. The Beverly Hillbillies and Dukes of Hazard themes get honorable mention, hitting #1 on the country charts. Take it away, Raf. If you want to. George
  7. You are correct, sir. I remembered Elongated Man after posting. I forgot about Zatanna, altogether. George
  8. Well, "Sling Blade Runner" wasn't a real mind-bender, either. I'll have another, soon; but if anyone else wants to jump in, feel free. George
  9. Patrick Swayze Road House Sam Elliott George
  10. Talia al Ghul in "Arrow." I fell in love with Lexa Doig when she was in "Andromeda." She wasn't used well in "Continuum." I hope we see a lot of her, here! George
  11. All the right Moves Lea Thompson Back to the Future George
  12. You're on the right "track." Mike Post was only involved with a couple of the listed shows, though. George
  13. I think that Legends of Tomorrow may be shark-jumping. Not that I have any problem with "the Legion of Doom," but what's going on with Rip Hunter is ridiculous. Thanks to Flash, the DC-CW-verse now has Steel, Vixen, Vibe, Gypsy, and the Martian Manhunter. All we need is Aquaman for Justice League Detroit. Two new shows might be apropos to this thread: "Legion" (based on a Marvel comic with which I am not familiar) and "Powerless" (sitcom about regular folks dealing with problems caused by (DC) heroes and villains). As for "Riverdale," I'm not sure I like the Archie-meets-Twin-Peaks feel, though I can recognize most of the characters. (The gay guy must have joined the crew long after I quit reading the comics.) What's up with a hot Ms. Grundy having a tryst with Archie, though?? George
  14. I guess I'll just go again. A simple man, hospitalized since his childhood murder of his mother and her lover, is released to start a new life in a small town. He gets a job tracking down "Replicants" (human-looking androids). George
  15. What do these shows have in common? (Most, but not all, are cop shows -- that's not the answer. This may take a BIT of thinking outside the box.) Miami Vice The Heights S.W.A.T. Welcome Back, Kotter Greatest American Hero Secret Agent Hawaii 5-0 Happy Days Peter Gunn Hill Street Blues The Rockford Files Honorable mentions: The Dukes of Hazard and The Beverly Hillbillies George
  16. Well ... yeah. I was about 15 when it came out. (Saw it a couple of years later, when I was in college.) Fonda DID win the Best Actress Oscar for the performance. George
  17. Fair enough, but all the roles were from fairly famous movies: Barbarella (Barbarella) Corie Bratter (Barefoot in the Park) Bree Daniels (Klute) Iris Caine (Steelyard Blues) Jane Harper (Fun with Dick and Jane) Sally Hyde (Coming Home) Judy Bernly (9 to 5) Chelsea Wayne (On Golden Pond) George
  18. Time to bring out the giveaway: Barbarella Corie Bratter Bree Daniels Iris Caine Jane Harper Sally Hyde Judy Bernly Chelsea Wayne George
  19. Sheen was in "Spin City," but I doubt he got $1 Million/episode (though Michael J Fox could have). His only other show was "Anger Management." He might have been paid a lot for that show, just because of his notoriety. George
