  1. "Blinded by the Light" by Manfred Mann? George
  2. 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
  3. In Like Flint Lee J Cobb 12 Angry Men George
  4. 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
  5. I think "The Prisoner" only went one season. At any rate, that's not it. George
  6. Felix Leiter (Bond's CIA contact) FREE POST George
  7. 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
  8. "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
  9. This was the first TV series to have an actual finale, where all remaining plots were resolved. After the filming of the first episode, the star asked his co-star, "Do you think we will get a couple of weeks work out of this?" The show ran for four seasons. George
  10. Having ruled out Frozen, it appears we need another clue. George
  11. I haven't seen any of them, though the line DOES seem familiar. Probably because, as you've said, it was used here before. :) George
  12. UPDATE WITH NEWER ADDITIONS "...MASH UP" (TV or Movie): In these threads, ANY clues to the show or movie are acceptable. Trivia, a list of actors, etc., even quotes (though these are better in the "Name That..." threads). BEFORE AND AFTER: Like the "Before and After" puzzles in "Wheel of Fortune," two shows (movies, TV shows, or one of each), for which the title of one ends with the same word or words as the other one begins, are combined, and a made-up "plot synopsis" is given. For example: Archie Bunker's orphaned nieces and nephew move in with him and his butler. "All in the Family" plus "Family Affair" equals "All in the Family Affair." Although not required, it has become customary to indicate whether the portmanteau is a movie (combines two movies), a TV show two TV shows), or a TV-movie (one of each). Ideally, the clue is given in title order, that is, the first part of the clue describes the first show and the second part describes the second; however, in the interest of making a sensible clue, it may be necessary to reverse the order. Lastly, "triples" (three shows linked A-B-B-C-C-D) or higher "multiples" can be given. Just mention that in the clue. SONGS BEFORE AND AFTER THE TITLE: For a song whose title is in the lyrics (and this is most songs), give the line or lines preceding and following the title, indicating where the title would be with ellipsis (...) or [TITLE]. Example: Still like that [TITLE]; that kind of music just soothes my soul. (Answer "Old Time Rock and Roll" by Bob Seger.) If the title isn't in the lyrics, don't use that song! :) NAME THAT ACTOR/ACTRESS (OR ROLE): Either give a number of roles that an actress or actor has played (movies or TV -- live theater is probably out of the knowledge of most people), where the correct answer is that performer's name; or list a number of performers who have played a particular role, e.g., Sherlock Holmes. (Obviously, you want a character which has been around long enough for several performers to have portrayed it. "Spock" essentially limits you to two, unless you add the guys who played younger Spock in Star Trek III.) In this thread, you might want to start with more obscure actors or roles and then add easier ones, the longer the puzzle goes unanswered. George
  13. Except for some of the games in which players have lost interest ("Pictionary" threads, "Name that Star Trek Episode," etc.) ALL of the threads are in play. If you guess all of the current clues, you can be the "puzzler" in all of them at once! And, if you'd like to resuscitate a thread that hasn't been active for a while, have at it. I always enjoyed the Pictionary threads, but none of these games work well as solitaire! :) George
  14. I've liked "Supergirl" from day 1, and it's only gotten better. The various characters are believable (in a comic-book-suspension-of-disbelief way). There is a good mix of punching stuff and interpersonal drama, without getting soap-opera-y. The divergences from "DC canon" are reasonable and, occasionally, pleasantly surprising. George
  15. As you may note, those of us who play, pretty much play them all. Now, if it's your turn in this thread, that doesn't give you a free marker to jump on another thread. You still have to wait your turn, there. If you feel you don't have a good clue, you can declare a FREE POST, and anyone can jump in. It's okay to think a little before giving a clue, though. You don't have to do so immediately. George
  16. "It's a Wonderful Life" God bless us, everyone! George
