  1. "Ghandi" was the last Best Picture winner that I actually watched in a theater before the Oscars. George
  2. Perhaps if I point out that it's a guy talking to another guy... George
  3. That was Ringo. I think the song was called "No, No, No (I Don't Smoke It No More)" George
  4. 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
  5. I'm surprised that you googled it without waiting for more info! George

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

  9. Clearly Red Skelton. Was his show simply "The Red Skelton Show"? George
  10. And I didn't even have to mention Joe the Bartender and Crazy Guggenheim. ;) You're up. George
  11. 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
  12. Late 90s almost guarantees I won't know it, unless it was one of my stepkids' favorites. George
  13. Stockard Channing Grease John Travolta George
  14. 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
  15. 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
  16. Well, this movie seems to be a remade comedy that involves a lot of cars. You say it wasn't marketed as a comedy, though the lines you posted are pretty funny. I recognize some of the stars, but can't think of anything with them together. Perhaps if you gave some of the cast of the ORIGINAL.. George
