  1. Devon Butler is an eight-year-old who dreams of being a policeman. Ironically, he gets his wish when he is killed by a street gang, but is revived as a cyborg policeman. George
  2. This movie was filmed for $300,000. It grossed $47,000,000 (back when $47 million was a lot of money). Set in Illinois in October, it was filmed in California in the spring. Autumn "leaves" were cut paper. In the background of several scenes, though, green trees (and even palm trees) can be seen. The opening score and theme music were in 5/4 time. George
  3. "Ghandi" was the last Best Picture winner that I actually watched in a theater before the Oscars. George
  4. Perhaps if I point out that it's a guy talking to another guy... George
  5. That was Ringo. I think the song was called "No, No, No (I Don't Smoke It No More)" George
  6. Much more popular show. It was not about military operations. The star had appeared a number of times on "The Rockford Files." He wanted his character to be like Jim Rockford, though the studio wanted him to be more straight-laced. This show was sort of a spin-off from "Hawaii 5-0," in that CBS didn't want to close its Hawaiian production offices, and so set this show there. "Hawaii 5-0" and "McGarrett" were occasionally mentioned, though not seen. One of the main characters was a British WW II veteran, played by a Texan who was a child during WW II. That same character had four illegitimate siblings, all sharing the same father but different mothers: Father Paddy McGuinness, an Irish priest; Soo Ling, a half-Chinese sister; Elmo Ziller, a rodeo owner from Texas; and Don Louis Mongueo, a royal heir to the throne of Costa De Rosa in South America. The title character was a Vietnam veteran, one of the first to be shown in a favorable light. He had been in the Navy. Although it wasn't explicitly stated, from the medals he occasionally wore, he was a SEAL and recipient of the Navy Cross. George
  7. I'm surprised that you googled it without waiting for more info! George

  9. Not the A-Team, which was set in Los Angeles, not Hawaii. George

  11. Clearly Red Skelton. Was his show simply "The Red Skelton Show"? George
  12. And I didn't even have to mention Joe the Bartender and Crazy Guggenheim. ;) You're up. George
  13. Walking through forests of palm tree apartments --- scoff at the monkeys who live in their dark tents down by the waterhole --- drunk every Friday --- eating their nuts --- saving their raisins for Sunday. Lions and tigers who wait in the shadows --- they're fast but they're lazy, and sleep in green meadows. George
  14. Late 90s almost guarantees I won't know it, unless it was one of my stepkids' favorites. George
  15. Stockard Channing Grease John Travolta George
  16. I caught the AJ and NC reference, but I still can't think of the movie. It's possible that human, hiway (and MAYBE rottie and Raf) are reading this. If so, they're probably in the dark as much as I am. :) George
  17. Actually, no. I always thought he had a real moustache, so I didn't think I really had the answer. It just sounded Groucho-ish. Back later with a new one. George
