  1. By "Go for it," I meant, "Give the answer," not "Take the next turn." :) George
  2. 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
  3. 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 an ex-insurance agent to use their skills ("hitter," "hacker," "grafter," "thief") to obtain justice for people who have been cheated. 2. Witness relocation marshals in Albuquerque. 3. Ex-spy teams up with old buddy and girlfriend to right wrongs in Miami. Eventually gets his brother and mother killed. 4. Secret Service agents hunt down and de-power magical artifacts. George
  4. The African Queen Humphrey Bogart Casablanca George
  5. "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
  6. 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
  7. No. He did a cover years later. See WW's post. George
  8. 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
  9. I think that the second one is "Ugly Betty." George
  10. 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
  11. "Blinded by the Light" by Manfred Mann? George
  12. 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
  13. In Like Flint Lee J Cobb 12 Angry Men George
  14. 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
  15. I think "The Prisoner" only went one season. At any rate, that's not it. George
  16. Felix Leiter (Bond's CIA contact) FREE POST George
  17. 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
  18. "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
  19. 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
  20. Having ruled out Frozen, it appears we need another clue. George
  21. 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
