"You Bet Your Life"? George

Was there a remake of "Cannonball Run"? George

I may have misread Wikipedia: Bozo was created as a character by Alan W. Livingston, who produced a children's storytelling record-album and illustrative read-along book set, the first of its kind, titled Bozo at the Circus for Capitol Records and released in October 1946. Pinto Colvig portrayed the character on this and subsequent Bozo read-along records. The albums were very popular and the character became a mascot for the record company and was later nicknamed "Bozo the Capitol Clown." Many non-Bozo Capitol children's records had a "Bozo Approved" label on the jacket. In 1948, Capitol and Livingston began setting up royalty arrangements with manufacturers and television stations for use of the Bozo character. KTTV in Los Angeles began broadcasting the first show, Bozo's Circus, in 1949 featuring Colvig as Bozo with his blue-and-red costume, oversized red hair and whiteface clown makeup on Fridays at 7:30 p.m. Apparently, Bozo was a MASCOT for Capitol Records. It's not clear if his image was actually used on the records. Chicago's "Bozo's Circus," with its high popularity and small studio, had a 12-year wait list for tickets. So, if you were already pregnant, it was too late to get your kid on the show! WW is up. George

None of this rings a bell. George

Does anybody (other than me) watch shows on SyFy? ;) George -
All this talk about Clutch cargo brings back another childhood memory: This children's show was, like "Romper Room," originally franchised, rather than syndicated. After about a decade, it was syndicated, with the Chicago production being the most widely distributed. The primary character was taken from old Capitol Records logos. George

OK. One of the cartoons was "Clutch Cargo," an adventurer (Clutch); his son (Spinner); and their dachshund (Paddlefoot). Rather than spend money animating faces, they simply filmed actors reciting the lines and then superimposed their lips over the cartoon faces. It was actually a pretty creepy effect. I don't know if Clutch had his own show. When I grew up in Chicago in the 60's, episodes of CC were shown on the "Garfield Goose and Friends" kids' show, in the late afternoon. I imagine I'll recognize the other "lips" cartoon when it's revealed, but I can't think of it, now. George

Ummmm.... Need more. ;) George

It was one of those choices. George

Don't recognize it. George

Which one? George

"Tombstone" it is. You're up! George

Oh, and I think Conan O'Brien used the same moving lips-superimposed-over-a-picture technique in his late-night show. I'm sure that that is NOT one of the answers. :) George

I know one of them. In the movie "Spaced Invaders," three Martians wind up trick-or-treating with a young girl on Halloween. She realizes that they're actually aliens, but doesn't want to scare her mom, so she says that they're friends from California: Clutch, Spinner, and Paddlefoot. ;) George

Without even hiway chiming in, I'm going to turn over all of the cards. The show was called "Search." It was fast-paced, had good stars, and an interesting premise. It made me a Hugh O'Brian fan. (I thought he would have made a good Green Lantern, back in the day.) Most of the tech (earbugs, remote monitors and cameras) was sci-fi at the time, though all very doable today. FREE POST George

Yes. Rather than show "Incredible Hulk" TV clips, they tipped the hat to Bill Bixby with Banner watching "Courtship" (on Brazilian TV). His Portuguese isn't too good, so when he tries to say the famous line from the TV show, "angry" becomes "hungry." You're up! George

Okay. Time for the giveaways. "It would appear that my hypocrisy knows no bounds." "I'll be your huckleberry." "Well, I'll be damned." "You may indeed, if you get lucky." "Is that "Old Dog Trey"? Sounds like "Old Dog Trey." "Pardon?" "Stephen Foster. "Oh, Susannah", "Camptown Races". Stephen stinking Foster." "Ah, yes. Well, this happens to be a nocturne." "A which?" "You know, Frederic f---ing Chopin." "Listen, Mr. Kansas Law Dog. Law don't go around here. Savvy?" "I'm retired." "That's real good." "Yeah, that's good, Mr. Law Dog, 'cause law don't go around here." "I heard you the first time." "In vino veritas." "Age quod agis." "Credat Judaeus apella, non ego." "Eventus stultorum magister." "In pace requiescat." "Come on boys. We don't want any trouble in here. Not in any language." George

I'm not sure I understand the question. It might have also run in summer reruns. Back then, shows weren't thrown out in the middle of a season. George
-
It's not the one I had in mind, though I confess that it fits the bill almost perfectly. The clues I was referring to include scenes on a TV from "The Courtship of Eddie's Father" and a character saying(in Portuguese) "Don't make me hungry. You wouldn't like me when I'm hungry." George
-
No This show only ran one season. The "Probes" were played by Hugh O'Brian, Tony Franciosa, and Doug MacClure. George

Still no. I'll bet that you've seen this movie AT LEAST once. "From now on I see a red sash, I kill the man wearing it. So run you cur. And tell the other curs the law is coming. You tell 'em I'm coming! And Hell's coming with me you hear! Hell's coming with me!" "Well, I'll be damned." "You may indeed, if you get lucky." "Is that "Old Dog Trey"? Sounds like "Old Dog Trey." "Pardon?" "Stephen Foster. "Oh, Susannah", "Camptown Races". Stephen stinking Foster." "Ah, yes. Well, this happens to be a nocturne." "A which?" "You know, Frederic f---ing Chopin." "Listen, Mr. Kansas Law Dog. Law don't go around here. Savvy?" "I'm retired." "That's real good." "Yeah, that's good, Mr. Law Dog, 'cause law don't go around here." "I heard you the first time." "In vino veritas." "Age quod agis." "Credat Judaeus apella, non ego." "Eventus stultorum magister." "In pace requiescat." "Come on boys. We don't want any trouble in here. Not in any language."

Sorry. :blush: This fairly-recent action movie was based on a character from other entertainment media. Clever references to the earlier TV show abounded, although no actual footage from the TV show was used. George

Three "Probes" worked as private investigators for "World Securities." (One per episode) They were equipped with various monitoring devices, to communicate with headquarters. One was a tooth implant. One bite meant "Yes"; two meant "No." George
